Europe
Greece
Greece is a destination that combines ancient history, stunning island scenery, exceptional cuisine and warm Mediterranean hospitality. From the iconic ruins of Athens and the volcanic beauty of Santorini to the lush landscapes of Corfu and the medieval old town of Rhodes, Greece offers a diversity of experiences that few destinations can match.
Elect's take
"Greece has a quality that is difficult to define but immediately felt. The combination of ancient history, beautiful light and genuine warmth creates an atmosphere I find myself returning to whenever possible."
What makes Greece so enduring as a destination is the way it balances the ancient and the contemporary. Athens has evolved into a genuinely exciting city with a thriving food scene, outstanding museums and rooftop bars overlooking the Acropolis. The islands offer an entirely different rhythm. Santorini's dramatic clifftop villages and caldera views are among the most photogenic settings in Europe, while destinations such as Mykonos, Hydra and Crete each bring their own character. Greek cuisine deserves particular mention. Fresh seafood, local olive oil, regional cheeses and outstanding wine create a dining culture that is simple, seasonal and consistently memorable.
