Greece Holidays offer a combination of fascinating ancient history, delicious Mediterranean cuisine and a plethora of idyllic Greek islands scattered across the shimmering waters of the Ionian and Aegean Seas.

Enjoy a sundowner while catching a picture perfect Greek sunset over the caldera on spectacular Santorini, wander quiet cobbled lanes with a backdrop of traditional whitewashed buildings on Mykonos or spend quality family time while relaxing in the pristine surrounds of sun-drenched Elounda in Crete.

Cycle along the Peloponnese coastline taking in its fascinating classical history and superb variety of landscapes, or discover the archaeological treasures of Athens with a stay in the vibrant capital of Greece.

Trailfinders offers a range of Greece holidays and our expert travel consultants are a mine of information about what to do here, often with first time experience. Whether you want to watch the boats bob beside the harbour of charming Chania or seek out your own slice of luxury driving yourself around Crete’s south coast, they are the perfect people to ask.

HOW TO GET AROUND GREECE

If you’d rather not travel on the ferry, how about focusing on one island and hire a car to explore off the beaten track, or join a small group adventure holiday to see the sights whilst making new friends, travelling around on a small ship.
