Villas in Greece

Greece is a God given land with scenery, food, heritage and culture that put the country at the forefront of the imagination of travellers from all over the world. There are thousands of beautiful villas to rent throughout the country, in and around its illustrious capital city that is home to the Parthenon, in the untamed mountainous and off-the-beaten-path landscapes of the north, and on the country’s myriad islands, both big and small, such as the party island Mykonos, cultural Crete and perhaps the most beautiful of them all, Santorini.

The climate in Greece is a joy to behold, with boundless blue-skied summers and warm evenings that never end. Villas in Greece have been built to take advantage of this weather with large patios, terraces and gardens, BBQs and high-quality outdoor furniture. You can find small villas for couples and large villas for the whole family, and your friends. The standard of accommodation in Greece is merely a reflection of the standard of the country’s tourist appeal as a whole. So, book now!

With over 13,000 kilometres of coastline, there are literally thousands of beaches in Greece to choose from, many absurdly beautiful and completely untouched by the nefarious influence of humankind. But which is the most beautiful of them all? Almost impossible to answer, but how about this? Nestled in Crete’s southwestern corner, you will find a symphony of pink-white sand, aquamarine water and rose dunes that interlace into a truly magical dreamscape. Elafonisi Islet awaits you!

The Acropolis is the most significant archaeological site in Greece and one of the most significant in the world. It was built 2,500 years ago and constitutes the infamous Parthenon and several other well-preserved buildings such as the unforgettable Temple of Erechtheion. Come at opening time (8 in the morning) and beeline straight to the upper part where you can enjoy the Parthenon in peace before the crowds arrive.

Mykonos Town is the spiritual home of the party scene in Greece, renowned worldwide for its gigantic outdoor clubs and daytime beach parties. Make the mega club Cavo Paradiso your first choice, where thousands of people waltz to the disks of international DJs under the warm starry skies of the Greek summer. Prefer a more relaxed club/lounge bar hybrid? Head for Atsra, which boasts a truly inimitable atmosphere.

They say that to get to know a city you must visit its markets, and Athens is no exception! At Central Market, situated in a 200-year-old neoclassical building, the market simply emanates anarchic eastern flavour, with vendors bellowing at full voice and scores of people hurrying their way through the narrow aisles between the stalls.

Canal d'Amour, in the north of Corfu, is one of the island’s most celebrated natural wonders. It features indomitable rock formations that form a natural passageway from the cove to the shimmering waters of the Ionian Sea. Dive off the rocks into the warm and enticing waters, and explore the stunning stone archways and clandestine caverns.

Arguably the finest wines in Greece can be found on the island of Kefalonia. The Robola wine pressed from the indigenous homonymous grapes is a plummy, alveolus wine that can be tasted at any of the vineyards in Kefalonia’s Robola region. At Orealios Gaea you can learn about the winemaking process from start to finish, including the unique ageing procedure, and then of course try out some of their finest samples!

A Meze is a delectable collection of tapas-esque dishes served in sufficient quantity to constitute a big meal.
