The Cradle of Western Civilization
Welcome to Greece, where philosophy was born among marble columns and azure seas lap at islands where gods once walked among mortals. Here, ancient theatres still echo with drama while whitewashed villages cascade down hillsides above waters that shimmer like liquid sapphire.
This guide will help you explore Greece’s eternal legacy. From Athens’ archaeological treasures to Santorini’s sunset-painted cliffs, we’ll show you how to experience this birthplace of democracy and culture. Whether you’re planning to island-hop through the Cyclades, explore Delphi’s mysteries, or taste wine where Dionysus was born, you’ll find mythological context throughout these pages.
Greece is ready to awaken your inner philosopher – let this guide connect you to the roots of Western thought.
We like the people, we like the culture, we like the sea and beaches, we are fascinated by its history and we particularly appreciate the food. Even the wines are getting better. With plenty of regular flights, Greece is easy to get to and there is an extraordinary range of hotels and villas on offer which will appeal to all budgets and requirements. Greece’s urban centres are home to some of the world’s most glorious and prized architecture and the setting for some of mankind’s oldest legends. On the coast, you will find bustling beaches and secluded sandy coves washed by clear turquoise waters.
For travellers with the luxury of time, there is nothing more rewarding than slowing down your holiday and making ‘getting there’ an integral part of the experience. Beginning in London, travel by train across Europe, staying in hand picked accommodation in picturesque cities along the way for a carbon-light journey to Greece. Once there, enjoy private curated experiences with local guides and stay in charming properties that prioritise Grecian food and culture.
Greece is a wonderful family destination, boasting a perfect blend of ancient wonders, sun-kissed beaches, and warm hospitality. Whether you’re seeking a relaxing beach break, a jam-packed educational odyssey, or ideally a mix of both, Greece has it all. From the iconic Acropolis in Athens to the whitewashed villages of Santorini and the historic charm of Crete, along with an abundance of picture-perfect beaches, there’s something for everyone. Island hopping is great fun, with the option to travel between islands by boat or even base your entire holiday on the water, exploring at your own pace aboard a traditional sailing yacht. Add in the delicious cuisine, and it’s smiles all around.
For something different, head out to the Peloponnese to explore staggering landscapes with soaring mountains and lush green valleys. There are a number of UNESCO world heritage sites to explore, including Delphi, the spiritual centre of the Greek world and Mycenae, a late Bronze Age city with its imposing ruins.
