Vacations
Europe
Greece
Greece and her surrounding islands are one of the favourite holiday destinations in Europe.
Greece is a magnetic country, popular for its wonderful beaches and its ancient history. There are hundreds of archaeological and historical sites to visit which showcase the country's often violent past. Its landscape is mainly mountainous and the ground is not very fertile, except for some areas along the Greek mainland.
Greece is surrounded by the Aegean and the Ionian Sea and the country has 1,400 islands but only 169 of them are inhabited. These Greek islands are the most popular destinations, especially in summer.
Large or small, these islands have all the necessary requirements and facilities to provide an amazing luxury vacation and LTR arranges bespoke cultural tours and amazing family holidays on many of the lesser known, as well as the more famous, islands.
Mykonos, with its cosmopolitan life; Santorini, with the most romantic sunsets; Rhodes, the island of medieval castles; Crete, with its revolutionary past; Ios, with the exciting nightlife; Corfu, with its little bays and lovely villas; Ithaca, the home of Ulysses; Samos, with all its greenery; Skiathos, with its long and sandy beaches; are just a few examples of the most famous Greek islands.
Greece offers a myriad of experiences, landscapes and activities. There are the nightclubs of Mykonos and the ancient beauty of Delos; the grandeur of Delphi and the earthiness of Ioannina; the rugged hillsides of Crete with wildflowers. It is the blinding light of the Mykonos sun, the melancholy throb of Thessaloniki's rembetika, the tang of home-made tzatziki, the gossip in the coffee shops. It is the Parthenon which sits solitary and pristine overlooking the hazy sprawl of Athens.
There is so much to enjoy in Greece and some wonderful villas for families to rent on their luxury LTR vacation. Come and soak up the rich atmosphere and heady smells of Greece as well as the romantic charms of the people as immortalised in the film Mama Mia.
