Greek Island Odyssey
Soak up million dollar Mediterranean views atop the caldera cliffs of Santorini and you’ll think you’re on the Gods’ own holiday isle. White-washed cubist houses, blue domes and a tangle of stairways and alleys leading to stunning sea panoramas perched high above the volcanic beach far below. Oia is its loveliest town, especially at sunset; the rose, gold and amber of the failing light illuminates the village, making it a seductive scenic treat. Hania on the island of Crete is similarly charmed. Its beautiful Venetian buildings resonate with the romance of the natural surrounds, as does your hotel – a lovely conversion of the former British Embassy. Explore the visual and culinary delights of the Venetian quarter, the old town and harbour and bask in its natural beauty on a walk through Agia Irini Gorge. Mykonos is similarly endowed with traditional architecture and boasts some of the best beaches. Travel out to Delos, the birthplace of Apollo and discover more of the Isles’ captivating mix of the lively and sublime.
