Every single location in Greece promises to offer you a luxurious getaway thanks to the country’s stunning landscapes, mouthwatering gastronomy, and high-end hospitality culture.
However, since summer is just around the corner, we know you have your eye on relaxing on a Greek Island. With thousands of islands to choose from, where does one even start? Let’s look into the Top 5 islands in Greece that will ensure your getaway will be luxurious and memorable:
1. Mykonos: Perhaps the most known Greek island as it is favored by celebrities and is infamous for its vibrant nightlife and glamorous lifestyle. Here you’ll find countless options of upscale boutique hotels and villas, high-end restaurants and bars, and - of course - white sandy beaches.
2. Santorini: Another very popular one, this volcanic island is known for its stunning views of the Aegean Sea and its majestic and romantic sunsets. Choose from a wide range of luxurious accommodations, hotels or villas, including private pools and infinite ocean views.
3. Corfu: A stunner in the Ionian Sea, this island is known for its lush greenery, turquoise waters and venetian architectural influence. The island's Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site and features Venetian-style buildings, narrow streets, and beautiful squares. You’ll find plenty of exclusive excursion options to delve into the island’s rich history.
4. Crete: The largest island of Greece is renowned for its rich history, rich-tasting cuisine, and rich lifestyle. Luxury hotels and villas are spread across the island so your options are endless, but Elounda is a great option as it is secluded but still includes everything the island has to offer.
5. Skiathos: Although not typically considered a luxurious Greek destination, the island is gaining a high rank from luxury seekers as it combines beautiful scenery, lively nightlife, and an exclusive atmosphere offering a more upscale holiday for those who want to avoid the mainstream.
