Mediterranean
Luxury Greece Holidays & Villas
— The Destination —
From the white-washed cliffs of Santorini to the olive groves of the Peloponnese and the cedar-scented hills of Crete — paired island-hopping itineraries on private gulets, ancient archaeology by private guide and long lunches in fishing-village tavernas. Best combined with a few days on a private motor yacht through the Cyclades.
— When to go —
Best time to visit
May to June and September to October — warm seas, wildflowers in spring, harvest in autumn and far fewer crowds than peak July–August.
Climate & weather
Hot, dry summers (25–35°C) with the meltemi wind cooling the islands. Mild winters (10–18°C) with occasional rain. Sea temperatures stay swimmable from May through October.
