White-washed buildings, a sea of blue hues melting from sky into sea, and a sense of tradition and ancient history uniquely its own all make Greece an exceptional destination for a short-haul 5-star break.

Dotted across its mainland and islands are a real variety of resorts and hotels, ranging from boutique boltholes perfect for two, up to vast resorts brimming with facilities for families.

 Wherever you stay don’t miss the opportunity to experience the local sites of interest, you won’t have to look far to find them. Or taste the local specialties created with Greece-grown olive oils, honey and wild herbs. The long sunshine season means balmy temperatures and warm waters from May through to October. Just a two-hour time difference and 3.5 hour flight add to the appeal.

So whether you’re off for a post-wedding minimoon, celebrating a family occasion on mass, or simply looking for a luxurious ‘fly and flop’ holiday close to home, Greece has a hotel to tick every box on your wish list.
