Luxury Holidays in Greece
Best time to be there
The mainland and islands are very hot and dry in July and especially August, the preferred travel month for French, Italian and Spanish holiday makers, making conditions busy, hotel availability limited and the beaches crowded. May, June and September are infinitely more comfortable and generally less expensive.

Picturesque white-washed villages tumbling into the startling blue of the Mediterranean Sea, ruins made mellow yellow by the low light of a summer evening and an ancient culture that sparked the birth of Western civilisation; the achievements of Greece sit easily alongside some of Europe's best beaches, a lively sense of pleasure and a revitalising selection of wines, a winning combination for any Greece holiday.
Luxury holidays in Greece with Abercrombie & Kent take you to the heart of a relaxed way of life in beautiful settings.
A country steeped in history, with a third of the population of Greece living in the capital Athens is a lively city to visit, with the city's infrastructure and social amenities vastly improving since the 2004 Olympics. From here you may wish to continue your Greece holiday at a slower pace with a visit to the historic city of Nafplion where you can take a walk through the Old Town and relax at one of the numerous café's overlooking the port.
Alternatively north of Athens for a sense of Greece's rural identity, the unspoilt Halkidiki peninsula near Thessaloniki is definitely worth a visit for luxury Greece holidays.
Crete is the largest of the Greek Islands and here you can use your luxury holiday in Greece as an opportunity to visit the renowned ruins at Knossos Palace, the largest Bronze Age archaeological site on Crete
An untouched simplicity still sets the tone on the islands of Mykonos and Santorini, white washed wall and excellent beaches. Experience a culture of Mediterranean ease where boats are still alternatives to travel by road, small restaurants serve retsina against a backdrop of fishing nets, widows wear black and men cluster round harbour front bars playing dominos.
