Greece

Greece combines ancient history and vibrant mainland cities with an extraordinary choice of islands, where whitewashed villages, clear Aegean water and private villas create very different styles of escape.

Islands, ancient history and an exceptional choice of villas and small hotels

Greece offers far more variety than a single island holiday suggests. Athens and the Peloponnese bring history and archaeology, while Cycladic islands, Crete, Corfu and the Saronic coast each have their own landscape, food and pace.

The right island matters more than simply choosing the most famous name. Some suit nightlife and beach clubs, others privacy, walking, food or family villa life. Private boats make neighbouring islands and hidden coves accessible without turning every day into a transfer.

Where to explore in Greece

Our current Greece collection takes in Athens, Crete, Folegandros, Mykonos, Peloponesse, Porto Heli, Santorini, Sifnos, Tinos, Corfu, Milos, Naxos, Paros and Syros. Each area has been selected because it adds something distinct to a tailor-made journey, whether that is wildlife, landscape, culture, food, coast or simply the chance to slow the pace.

Rather than treating these as a checklist, we can help decide which regions belong together and how long to spend in each. The aim is a journey that feels coherent, with sensible transfers and enough time to enjoy the properties and experiences along the way.

Who Greece suits

Greece works particularly well for villa holidays, families, couples, celebrations and island-hopping trips shaped around beaches, food, history or privacy. The detail can then be shaped around the people travelling – preferred pace, room or villa requirements, interests, celebrations and how much structure you want built into each day.

Planning your stay

Private Hideaway Escapes can arrange the complete journey, including handpicked accommodation, private transfers, internal flights where appropriate, guides and experiences. We can also combine Greece with another destination when the routing genuinely improves the trip rather than simply adding another stop.
