Peloponnese This stunning region, renowned for its olive groves, the richest vineyards in Greece, and an unbelievable variety of scenery has been bubbling just under the radar now slowly and rightfully finding its way to everyone’s bucket list. Offering just the right combination of nature, dreamy white sand beaches, and ultimate luxury accommodation, this laid-back destination is the predecessor of all spa and wellness destinations. It is, after all the home of the Olympics and the place where Hippocrates first prescribed therapeutic olive oil massages. Need we say more?
Paros
Looking for a Mykonos-style island without the crowds but still adorned with whitewashed villages, blue-domed churches, and blonde-sand beaches? Meet Paros – an island that will tick all your boxes since it caters to every taste, every whim, and it does so without breaking a sweat all while offering an authentic and organic Greek experience. You’ve got history, archaeology, culture, nightlife, water, land sports, and a bit of everything in between to keep you busy and happy!
Zagori When you’ve had enough beach, consider a hike. The north of Greece boasts wonderful trails and the Zagori Bridges and Villages hike is beautiful. Bordering Albania, the Pindos mountain
range is home to diverse trails and fairytale stone villages.
Saronic Islands
