Be sure to keep a lookout for loggerheads, and you may even spot a wild dolphin or two.Plus, you'll sail along the Keri peninsula, cruising by its sea-plunging cliffs, caves and lighthouse before dropping anchor for a swim stop.

Crete - Knossos Palace and Heraklion Guided Tour with Transport

'The Palace of Knossos is one of the most important archaeological sites in Crete because it's where Europe's first civilisation began,' says Veta, one of our guides.

You'll spend the day watching history come to life as you tour the grounds of the palace, before crossing over to Heraklion for some free time in the capital.Once the hub of Crete's Minoan civilisation, Knossos Palace sits in the heart of what's considered to be Europe's oldest settlement.

We'll round the day off by taking you to the open markets for some free time.

Discover Kefalonia with Lake Melissani and Fiskardo
Excursions & day trips

Kefalonia - Discover Kefalonia with Lake Melissani and Fiskardo

Natural wonders, impressive beaches and pretty villages – when it comes to sightseeing, Kefalonia is an A-lister. And on this full day bus tour, you'll see some of its best bits, both above and below ground. Lake Melissani, Drogarati Cave, Fiskardo and Agia Efimia are all on the menu, as well as a photo stop at Myrtos Bay. Georgios, one of our local guides, says, ‘With around 250km of coastline, Kefalonia is home to some of the very best beaches in Greece. But if you can tear yourself away from the pristine sands, there's tonnes more to see and do.'You'll kick off your adventure on Lake Melissani, for an underground boat trip to Melissani Cave. When sunlight shines in through the opening of this cave, it creates a glistening fluorescent hue on the water below – it's a sight to behold. Georgios says, ‘There are many myths and legends surrounding the history of the lake. Some say it was named after Melissanthi, whose spirit still haunts the cave to this day. Others say it was discovered by a shepherd, who chose to spend the rest of his days here.' You'll also stop by the nearby Drogarati Cave for a chance to see its stalactites and stalagmites.Next up is a short visit to the port of Agia Efimia, before we hit Fiskardo. Here, you'll have around two hours to explore the fashionable fishing village, do a spot of souvenir shopping or grab a bite to eat in one of its many pastel-coloured tavernas. You'll round off the day at a viewpoint overlooking Myrtos beach. Lapped by clear blue waters, it's one of the most photo-worthy spots in Greece.

We then explore Papanikolis sea cave, which is also popular.'You'll board the boat ready for a picture-perfect journey across the Ionian Sea towards the mainland. And between taking in the scenery of pine-clad islets, you'll cruise into Papanikolis sea cave, where you'll see the sea glittering on the roof. The next stop will be for swimming in the Blue Lagoon.

Smuggler's Cove Half-day Cruise with Panoramic Drive
Excursions & day trips

Zante - Smuggler's Cove Half-day Cruise with Panoramic Drive

Smuggler's Cove is a picture-postcard white pebble beach with a surprise – a shipwreck from an alleged smuggler who ran aground here in the early 80s. On this half-day boat trip, you'll cruise along the coast to see this famous spot, discover secret coves, swim and soak up the scenery. Kay, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Smuggler's Cove is also known as Shipwreck Beach, or “Navagio” in Greek. It's only accessible by boat, and it's one of the most photographed places in the whole of Greece.'After pick-up, enjoy a scenic drive to Porto Vromi – it takes up to 90 minutes – and hop on a boat towards Smuggler's Cove. You'll have half an hour or so to take in the vistas from the deck before the imposing white cliffs appear, sheltering the cove and its famous wreck. The 200-metre-high cliffs curve and swoop down behind the beach, dwarfing the shipwreck. Kay says, ‘To preserve the natural beauty of the area, instead of disembarking at Smuggler's cove, we'll pause here to admire the scenery and take a few Insta-perfect snaps.'Next, your captain will drop anchor at a nearby bay, and you'll have time to swim in the dazzling waters surrounded by Zante's coastal landscapes. Then, as we cruise back towards Porto Vromi, your captain will take you to a white-pebbled beach, a place so secret it doesn't even show up on Google. Cool off with a swim stop here and hear the story of the 'Poseidon's Face' – a rock formation believed to depict Poseidon, God of the sea – before setting off for the final leg back to shore.

Introducing Greece

Greece: The Ultimate Destination for Beach Holidays Greece is truly a fantastic destination for a seaside holiday, offering a wealth of attractions. From the cultural landmarks of the capital, Athens, to the archaeological sites of Ancient Greece, the monasteries of Meteora, and the Samaria Gorge in Crete, a trip to the land of myths and legends is always a great idea. Completing the experience are delicious local cuisine and the warmth of the local people. 10 Things to Do in Greece

  1. Discover the History of Ancient Greece in Athens The Greek capital is a paradise for history enthusiasts. Its Acropolis, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is the city's icon and an unmissable attraction. Nearby, the ancient neighbourhood of Plaka enchants with its relaxed atmosphere and labyrinthine streets. To fully immerse yourself in Ancient Greece's history, make sure to visit the National Archaeological Museum of Athens.

  2. Experience Adventure on the Island of Crete Crete is famous for its tropical-like beaches, Minoan civilization sites such as the legendary Palace of Knossos, and its varied landscapes. The island is also perfect for exploration, and by venturing into its mountainous interior, you'll encounter many adventures. Drive through lunar landscapes to the site of Zakros, trek the Samaria Gorge, and discover the most rugged beaches.

  3. Be Amazed by Meteora Meteora features a series of monasteries perched on sandstone heights, creating a surreal landscape. This UNESCO World Heritage site is one of the largest and most important centres of the Orthodox Church in the country. With a guided tour, you’ll not only visit this spectacular site but also learn about the life of the monks while enjoying a panorama that seems straight out of a fairy tale.

  4. Make a Stop in the Peloponnese The Peloponnese, a peninsula connected to the mainland by the Corinth Canal, is rich in history and also highly appreciated for beach holidays. Visit Mycenae, the city of Agamemnon, and explore ancient Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games. After your cultural visits, enjoy some well-deserved relaxation on the beaches of Nafplio, Cape Sunio, or Kalamata, sipping a cold coffee and savouring the delicious dishes from the beachside tavernas.

  5. Follow in the Footsteps of the Knights in Rhodes The largest of the Dodecanese islands offers a captivating mix of natural sites, dream beaches, and historical attractions. Between the 14th and 16th centuries, the Knights of the Order of St. John settled here, leaving various traces of their presence and countless fascinating stories. You can retrace Rhodes' history by visiting the medieval city centre, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the Palace of the Grand Masters, and walking along the Street of the Knights.

  6. Relax on the Beaches of Corfu Corfu is renowned for its turquoise sea, beautiful beaches, and green landscapes. This is why it’s a favourite among those wanting a holiday full of sunbathing, swimming, and nature. However, as often happens on major islands, relaxation can be combined with cultural visits, and exploring historical attractions such as the Venetian Fortress in Corfu Town and the Achilleion Palace.

  7. Go Island Hoping in the Cyclades The Cyclades archipelago is particularly suited for island hopping, a type of holiday that lets you "hop" from one island to another. It’s a wonderful option for seeing different places while staying within the relaxed spirit that characterizes Greek islands. The two stars of the archipelago, Mykonos and Santorini, are about 2 hours by ferry from each other. While Mykonos is known for its party scene and Santorini as a romantic haven, both offer landscapes that will stay in your heart. Also worth visiting are Paros and Naxos for a more authentic and less crowded atmosphere.

  8. Explore the Shipwreck of Navagio Beach Navagio Beach, also known as Shipwreck Beach, is one of Greece's most famous shores. Nestled in a cove on the island of Zakynthos, the beach is only accessible by sea and features the wreck of a smuggler's ship that sank in the 1980s. Its uniqueness, white pebbles, and crystal-clear waters attract many visitors each year and have made it one of the country’s symbols.

  9. Visit the Archaeological Site of Delphi Considered the centre of the world by the ancient Greeks, Delphi still holds a magnetic charm today. Home to the famous Oracle of Apollo, this archaeological site is set in a stunning natural context and reveals the mystical and ceremonial side of one of the most significant civilizations of the Western world. Not to be missed are the ancient theatre, which offers a beautiful view of the surrounding valleys, and the Delphi Archaeological Museum, which displays significant artefacts found on the site.

  10. Top-quality eating and drinking Mediterranean products, Turkish and Middle Eastern influences make Greek cuisine a real delight, with tasty dishes and fresh options ideal for the country’s warm summers. During your holiday, try moussaka, a baked casserole with eggplant and minced meat, dolmadakia, stuffed grape leaves, and the indispensable Greek salad with tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, and feta cheese. For drinks, tsipouro and ouzo are traditional spirits to sip during meals, often with a few ice cubes. Among wines, Retsina is the most produced, known for its resin aroma.

Get ready to visit Greece

What's the best time to visit Greece?

Greece is a Mediterranean country with very hot summers and mild winters. For those looking for a beach holiday and pure relaxation, the period from late May to October is ideal for enjoying the good weather and swimming in the sea, both on the islands and on the mainland. However, if you want to visit many attractions and spend time in Athens as well, the best times to go are the shoulder seasons, and it is advisable to avoid July and August when the very hot climate might be a bit exhausting.

Where to go in Greece for the first time?

If you're visiting Greece for the first time, a comprehensive and highly recommended option is to visit Athens and then head to one of the main Greek islands, such as Crete, Rhodes, or Zakynthos. Another great idea for those who want a holiday focused solely on the sea and fun is to tour the islands, hopping between Mykonos, Paros, and Naxos or between Santorini, Milos, and Folegandros. Finally, for a slightly more alternative holiday that provides a good overview of the country, consider travelling from Athens to the Meteora region and then spending some time in the Peloponnese, an ideal destination for combining beach and culture.

Where to go for a beach holiday in Greece?

When it comes to beach holidays, Greece is unbeatable. To enjoy crystal-clear waters and a truly relaxed atmosphere, there's nothing better than visiting a small island that you can explore on foot, by bike, or by scooter. Some of the most loved destinations include Kos, Karpathos, Naxos, Lefkada, and Skiathos. To combine beach time with epic nights out, Mykonos is the perfect spot.
