    Greece

    There are many beautiful countries in Europe, but there is nowhere like
    Greece. The white and blue houses. The mountain views. The glistening
    blue waters and the secret hidden coves. It’s sometimes barely believable
    that Greece exists, but it does!

    1. Athens

    Obviously, if you’ve heard anything about Greece, you know about its
    beautiful capital Athens. Athens is that perfect mix of traditional but
    trendy, ancient but modern, full of nature but cosmopolitan at the very
    same time. Here you’ll find huge, open roads covered in restaurants and
    bars, but coming off them are tiny little cobbled side streets to explore.
    Old buildings give way to fascinating galleries. You can grab an ouzo and
    pitch up at a beautiful outdoor cinema, looking up at the stars. Plus you’ve
    simply got to see the Parthenon at least once in your life. Athens is a
    sprawling, incomparable beauty that is like no other. Add it to your bucket
    list.

    2. Crete

    You’ll need a car to explore Greece’s biggest island, but if you’re after
    golden beaches, crumbly old towns, world-class museums and UNESCO
    Heritage sites, Crete ticks every box. Chania in the west is the liveliest
    part of the island, while Sitia in the east is famed for its pristine coves and
    sandy beaches – a perfect rural and picturesque escape. Nature seekers
    could hike Samaria, Europe’s longest gorge, culture hunters should track
    down the Minoan palaces, and kids are guaranteed a good time at the
    island’s countless waterparks.

    3. Santorini

    The scenery in Santorini, one of the Cyclades islands in the Aegean Sea,
    seems crafted by the Greek gods: whitewashed villages crown the island
    with views over its majestic coastlines, rural vineyards span huge
    stretches inland and the beaches are black, red, and out of this world.
    There’s a ridiculous amount for explorers, foodies and culture vultures to
    discover, from archaeological sites to swimming spots and brilliant wine
    and food.

    4. Naxos

    The largest of the Cyclades islands, Naxos is also one of the least explored
    – which means you can expect secluded sandy beaches and a low-key,
    laidback atmosphere that’ll make the pressures of everyday life feel
    worlds away. Packing an incredible amount of variety into an incredibly
    small space, this is a place where you can venture up into tiny high-flung
    mountain villages or laze on an endless chain of silky sand beaches away
    from the madding tourist crowds.

    5. Corfu

    Italianate villages, ornate palaces and romantic beaches are on the cards
    if you visit the lush island where the Durrell family once lived. With its
    sundry influences left by past invaders, Corfu is a place where you can
    drink ginger ale with your Greek salad, stroll streets packed with
    Byzantine and Venetian architecture and meet modern-day monks in
    Paleokastritsa’s spectacular medieval monastery. And after a hard day’s
    sightseeing and stuffing your face, you’ll obviously want to jump straight
    into the Ionian Sea – never not a stunning shade of turquoise blue.

    6. Kastellorizo

    At the edge of Greece, right opposite the Turkish coastal town of Kaş,
    you’ll find Kastellorizo (aka Megisti), the island furthest from the Greek
    capital. It’s a flight or a boat ride away from the island of Rhodes in
    Dodecanese, and though it’s a bit of a journey to the island, it’s absolutely
    worth it. This is a remote paradise with colourful buildings, seafood for
    days and seriously chilled out vibes. Plus, it has a fascinating history –
    make sure to visit the castle of the Knights Hospitaller overlooking the
    Aegean Sea, and the glorious 4th century BC Lycian tomb below it. The
    fort-monastery of Agios Georgios of the Mountain also boasts one of the
    best views on the island
