Decide your pace and place – escapism in a small, deluxe hotel before another hop for cultural immersion? Perhaps you want to party ‘til dawn and sleep in the sunshine all day or hit the water to try a new hobby from sailing to scuba diving. Whatever your choice, there’s always warm hospitality across the islands and a wide selection of islands, resorts and hotels to choose from.
There’s always a taverna just round the corner that’s buzzing with locals – so join them for mouthwatering meze, washed down by a refreshing glass or two for a satisfying taste of authentic Greece.
Talking of whetting your appetite, here are some of our favourite island combinations to demonstrate how island hopping can mean fun and flexibility with a choice of off-the-grid, authentic, luxury and family options.
