For a hefty dollop of history and culture, Greece has always been a safe bet, and if you’ve time to visit the Acropolis in Athens or the Temple of Apollo at Delphi you’ll be very pleased you did. However, Greece has much more to offer to travellers these days and has shaken off its ‘package holiday’ past to become one of the most up-and-coming destinations in Europe with plenty of Greek luxury villas to match.
Luxury holiday villas in Greece give you the best experience while you explore the vineyards and rustic countryside of the mainland or any of the country’s stunningly beautiful islands.
Those searching for a family villa in Greece will love Crete, with its masses of white sand beaches and warm weather late into the season. For a more cosmopolitan vibe in an equally relaxing environment, try Mykonos with its fabulous beaches, pretty, thatched windmills and charming old town. And for those seeking good wine, food and a sunset view like no other, Santorini is ideal. A luxury villa in the Greek Islands is the perfect way to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere here – late breakfasts, leisurely dips in the pool and long dinners with ocean views really are the stuff good holidays are made of.
May to June is a lovely time to go when the flora and fauna will be at their best but the crowds have not yet arrived. Early autumn is a good bet, too. Summers are warm and dry, whilst in the winter, the islands close down to hibernate through the colder months.
We love the gentle pace of life on the Greek islands. You genuinely feel like the hands of your watch turn slower here. And when you float in your Greek villa’s private pool, while chefs prepare a feast fit for Greek Gods, you’ll want that moment to last forever.
Greek cuisine tends to be simply done but with excellent raw ingredients.
The best advice is to enjoy whatever is freshest and most local, be that olives right from the groves, manouri cheese aged in wine dregs in Sifnos or seafood on the coast. Whether you explore the eateries in the local towns or the private chef at your luxury villa rustles up a gourmet meal, you will never be disappointed.
In terms of eating out on your luxury villa holiday in Greece, there’s a wide selection of tavernas in almost every town ranging from the ‘rustic and ready’ to the rather upmarket. Greece is home to some fabulous restaurants. We particularly like Koukoumavlos on Santorini, a real destination restaurant, housed in an 18th-century sea captain’s house with views of the Caldera, as well as Etrusco on Corfu, regularly voted Greece’s best eating establishment.
