Mykonos is everyone’s picture postcard image of Greece. The town is incredibly picturesque, a maze of narrow stone-flagged streets lined with dazzlingly white buildings in the distinctive Mykonos cubist style; blue shutters contrast with vivid splashes of colour from the bougainvillea cascading from every balcony. The famous windmills overlook the waterfront and little Venice. Pre-bookable activities available here.
Santorini is simply stunning, with towering black cliffs that rise sheer from the cobalt blue Aegean Sea, topped with an icing of tiny white buildings and blue-domed churches with elegant campaniles, all perched precariously on the very edge of the cliffs. Dramatic by day, the view is nothing short of spectacular at sunset as the sun slowly sinks beneath the horizon. Pre-bookable activities available here.
Crete is the largest of the Greek islands is a richly varied island with an ever-changing landscape of rugged mountains, deep ravines, fertile plains and a long golden coastline of sandy beaches. For sightseers there are spectacular drives, both across the rugged interior, where every twist in the road opens up a new vista or along the breathtaking and ever-changing southern coastline.
