Including the best greek islands for couples
Greece, whether it is the mainland or the many beautiful Greek islands on offer, has long been a successful and sought-after holiday destination. The weather during the spring and summer months is great, you have beautiful beaches, gorgeous white-washed buildings, and the food. The food is by far one of the biggest reasons people travel there, enjoying the likes of Greek kebabs, gorgeous pasta dishes, and the famed Greek salad.
But, if you do fancy a holiday in Greece where should you really be spending that all-important week or two? We wanted to share with you some of the destinations that we think are worth adding to the list. We hope it gives you some holiday inspiration for your next jaunt away.
If you prefer a one day trip to one of the islands, then there are loads of boat trips that can take you during peak season.

Before you go on holiday, make sure that you have:
The mainland
Greece isn’t just about the islands you know, the mainland has much to offer but because of the appeal of some of the islands, it can often be overlooked. However, there is one big attraction to traveling to the mainland and that is Athens.
The city that created the Olympic Games, the place that has Olympus, the home of the Greek gods, and the main man himself, Zeus.
A beautiful city filled with culture, gorgeous bars and restaurants, and amazing boutique hotels. Maybe even hiring a car would enable you to travel about and see more of the rural side of Greece. It could definitely be an adventure. There are loads of full day natural wonders for you to explore regardless of your age.
Crete
Maybe you like the idea of heading to the islands, and we don’t blame you. You can get direct flights straight to Crete. Have a look at our huge range of holiday voucher codes here.
Some are more popular than others, and also some are larger. Crete is one of the bigger islands around to spend a vacation, and the main port and capital is Heraklion.
Although Heraklion is a great town, and car rental would be recommended, you can also use the opportunity to visit the archaeological museum and also the Bronze Age settlement that has been restored. It will be an eye-opener and definitely an experience not to be missed. Create has some amazing sandy beaches and resorts, and you are bound to enjoy your stay on this island.
Santorini
Santorini is by far one of the islands that you will find on many bucket lists. Think of a traditional old town vibe. Thanks to the cobbled streets, the gorgeous white-washed buildings with the fabulous blue backdrop. What you see on paper looks exactly how you find it when you get there.
Perhaps not a place for families with all the mobility issues of walking on uneven streets in confined spaces, but definitely a place for destination weddings, a couples getaway, or a relaxing break with friends.
Santorini is also a stop on many cruises, so it could be the perfect way to sample the island and get your fill of the beautiful scenery without the need to stay there and spend your whole holiday on that island.
Mykonos
Perhaps you like the idea of another Greek island that has some fame and that is Mykonos. Many say that this island is the millionaire’s playground, which can be reflected in the cost of food and drink compared to some of the islands. However, the film Mamma Mia was filmed there, so it is definitely worthwhile to see just for that very reason. Mykonos is also a beautiful island, and with fabulous beaches and glossy blue seas, there really is something for everyone here.

Rhodes
Rhodes is definitely a popular holiday destination not just for couples but for friends and also families. Beautiful Lindos can often be a popular destination to visit, and definitely could be an ideal place to spend your time. Again Rhodes is full of lovely quaint little towns as well as fabulous beaches, and there are quieter towns as well as busier locations such as Faliraki. Which is definitely well known for its party scene.
Corfu
Finally, you have the island of Corfu. A more mountainous region as well as the resort-studded coastline, there is again something for everyone on this island. There is a slight cultural difference on this island after spending years under British, Venetian, and French rulings, but it joined with Greece back in 1864. There is a heavily Greek influence now, but in some of the architecture and especially in Corfu town you can see the slight differences. As a holiday destination, it really has it all.

I hope you have all the inspiration you need to consider a Greek adventure for a future holiday.
