Greece
The islands of Greece are an integral part of the country’s civilisation and tradition. They offer a highly diversified landscape. There are sheltered bays and coves, golden stretches of sand with dunes, pebbly beaches, caves with steep rocks, black sand typical of volcanic soil and coastal wetlands all lapped by Mediterranean waters which very from emerald to turquoise and shades of the deepest blue. Apart from swimming and sunbathing, the islands lend themselves to scuba diving, snorkeling, water skiing, sailing and windsurfing. They are also the cradle of some of the most ancient and prosperous European civilisations and to this day have retained the enchantment that inspired Homer and Byron. Boasting unique archaeological sites, an outstanding architectural heritage and centuries-old, fascinating local traditions of a multifaceted cultural past, the Greek Islands have everything for everyone.
Crete
Crete is the largest of all the Greek islands and is widely regarded as a country within a country, not least by the Cretans themselves who are welcoming and hospitable as they are fiercely proud of their country's history, tradition and character.
Rhodes
Ancient Greeks worshipped Rhodes, the largest island in the Dodecanese, as their Island of Sun.
