The Greek Islands are typically grouped into six clusters; the Argo-Saronic Islands, the Cyclades, the North Aegean Islands, the Dodecanese, the Sporades and the Ionian Islands. The weather across the Greek islands ranges throughout the year, with hot, sunny Summers and mild, sometimes damp Winters. They have become popular tourist destinations thanks to the good weather they experience and their breath-taking beauty.

The Greek Islands have something to offer for every type of holidaymaker. Kefalonia is packed with beautiful beaches that cater for every type of tourist, from solo travellers to couples and families. You can also set out on a boat trip into the Melissani Cave from here, where you’ll get to admire the stalactites that have formed over hundreds of years inside the cave. The island of Paros is well-known for windsurfing as well as other water sports, including kitesurfing, waterskiing and surfing; all of which can be done on some of the island's incredible beaches such as New Golden Beach. Rhodes is a very popular destination for a Greek Island holiday. It is filled with historical sites and ancient monuments which gives visitors a glimpse into traditional Greek culture while also being able to enjoy the modern, cosmopolitan side that has developed in more recent years. Not only that, the Greek islands are home to a number of popular resorts which tourists flock to every year, including Ipsos, Kavos and Chania. With each island having something different to offer, you’ll be spoilt for choice on your Greek holiday!

There is a Greek Island for everyone. The sandy shores which line Kefalonia are sure to be a hit with families, as the calm waters are perfect for splashing around in and stay warm for many months out of the year. Couples will love idyllic Santorini, with its white-washed buildings which have been carved into the cliffs which decorate the island. Mykonos has become a popular party spot in recent years as it is filled with bars and superclubs which draw young tourists in every Summer.
