The Greek Islands

“The isles of Greece! the isles of Greece... Eternal summer gilds them yet.”
— Lord Byron

Beloved by poets and travellers alike, the Greek Islands are pure magic. Scattered across the Ionian and Aegean Seas, each island has its own story — its own light, flavour and rhythm of life.

Most islands are connected by a reliable ferry network, and those with small airports are only a short flight from Athens. Wherever you go, you’ll find warm hospitality, crystal-clear waters and the easy pace of island life.

The Ionian Islands

On Greece’s western side, the Ionian Islands offer lush green landscapes and a hint of Italian charm. Pair popular Corfu with the tranquil beauty of Paxos, or combine Lefkas and Cephalonia for a mix of dramatic scenery and relaxed island living.

The Saronic Islands

Close to Athens, the Saronic Islands — Aegina, Poros, Hydra, and Spetses — are ideal for short breaks or as part of a mainland itinerary. Each offers a unique blend of maritime heritage, charming harbours and authentic Greek atmosphere.

The Cyclades

The Cyclades form a circle around sacred Delos and are perhaps the most iconic of all. Think whitewashed villages, deep-blue domes and breathtaking sea views.

Experience the cosmopolitan flair of Mykonos, the dramatic volcanic beauty of Santorini, the green valleys of Naxos, or the otherworldly rock formations and beaches of Milos.

The Dodecanese

Further east, the Dodecanese islands sparkle with history. Explore the historic old town of Rhodes, the spiritual heritage of Patmos and Symi for colourful harbours and timeless charm.

Crete

The largest of all, Crete feels almost like a country of its own. Ancient palaces, mountain gorges, golden beaches and world-famous cuisine await discovery. It pairs beautifully with Santorini for a journey through myth and beauty.
