Corfu

Corfu is undergoing a resurgence as a luxury destination with a number of new hotels opening, including the five star Ikos Dassia.

It is still the greenest of the Greek islands – nicknamed the Emerald Island - and maintains an authentic feel, particularly in the UNESCO-listed old quarter of Corfu Town.

Crete

Although Crete is the largest of the Greek islands, the tiny hamlet of Plaka where the five star Domes of Elounda is situated,has a little beach with clear water, a low-key main street lined with cafes, tiny restaurants and Greek tavernas.

The island of Spinalonga is also located a little way out from Plaka's coast.

Take in two of Greece's most picturesque islands can be combined in one trip.

Mykonos in the Cyclades is one of 24 inhabited islands and over 200 total islets, and Santorini, with its dramatic multi-coloured cliffs and beaches, hilltop villages and Minoan ruins.
