Rhodes and Corfu

Rhodes (in the Dodecanese) and Corfu (in the Ionian) feel very different from the Cyclades. Rhodes has its Medieval Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the village of Lindos with its acropolis.

Best for families · anyone who wants an old town and a resort on the same island

Wrong for anyone set on the Cycladic look.

Other neighbourhoods

All neighbourhoods

  • Neighbourhood · 24 places

    Athens

    Spend a night or two in Athens at the start or end of the trip, or skip it and fly straight to an island. It’s worth a night even if the trip is about the islands: the Acropolis at golden hour justifies the detour.

    Best for first-timers · culture-first trips · anyone flying in and out of Athens

  • Neighbourhood · 22 places

    Mykonos

    Mykonos is the party island, built around its beach clubs: Scorpios on Paraga beach, Nammos on Psarou, Principote at Panormos and Branco on Platys Gialos.

    Best for groups whose trip is the scene: beach clubs, long lunches, late nights.

  • Neighbourhood · 30 places

    Santorini

    Santorini is two or three nights of caldera views, not a week of beach holiday. Its villages sit on the rim of the caldera, and its beaches are volcanic, with black and red sand.

    Best for couples · photographers · a two- or three-night stop on a longer trip

  • Neighbourhood · 6 places

    Crete

    Crete is the largest Greek island, and the one most travellers should consider for a real island holiday.

    Best for week-long trips · families · anyone who wants one base and a hire car

  • Neighbourhood · 14 places

    Paros and Naxos

    Paros lies at the centre of the Cyclades, says GNTO, and Naxos is the largest and most fertile island in the group. Both have the white-and-blue Cycladic look, long sandy beaches, and less hype than Mykonos and Santorini.

    Best for travellers who want the Cycladic look with less hype · couples · families on a multi-island trip

  • Neighbourhood · 3 places

    Hydra, Spetses and Aegina

    The Saronic islands make an easy weekend from Athens, and a good extra-night option if you’d otherwise lose a day flying to a more distant island.

    Best for an extra night or two from Athens · anyone who’d rather not lose a day flying
