Islands, myths and very long lunches.
Greece is the easiest Mediterranean holiday to love: two hundred inhabited islands, an alphabet of beaches, tavernas that treat lunch as the day’s main event, and ruins that turn every ferry ride into a history lesson. For UAE-based families it is a natural summer base — and shoulder-season Greece, warm and half-empty, is the connoisseur’s pick.
The art is matching traveller to island: Santorini and Mykonos for the drama, Crete and Rhodes for family firepower, Naxos and Paros for barefoot authenticity, the Peloponnese for road-trippers who want Greece without a ferry at all.
