Cyclades Islands
The Cyclades Islands (meaning `circular islands`) are the most famous island group in the Aegean Sea that comprise some of the most stunning islands in the world! Beautiful sandy beaches, architecture in white and blue, traditional lifestyle, folk music, warm, hospitable people and barren landscapes with isolated chapels turn a trip to the Cyclades into a lifetime experience.
Dodecanese Islands
Only a short distance from Turkey`s Turquoise Coast in the southeastern Aegean, the Dodecanese chain of islands lies in what is called the sunniest corner of Greece. With twelve larger islands and numerous smaller uninhabited islands and islets, the Dodecanese Islands have the right mix of tourism and tradition, a fascinating history, two UNESCO World Heritage sites and stunning landscapes.
Ionian Islands
The Ionian Islands is a cluster of six isles that are linked in a chain down the west coast of Greece. It is not only stunningly scenic but also has a character of its own that is set apart from other Greek islands. These islands are much lusher and greener than most of the other Greek islands. Adventure seekers, food lovers, culture seekers and beach bums, paradise awaits you in the Ionian Islands.
Saronic Islands
The Saronic islands, which include Hydra and Aegina, are the islands closest to Athens in Greece. This group of islands is a small, relatively sheltered gulf between Attica and the Peloponnese. You could describe them as “the islands off Athens”. There are a total of about 20 islands and islets in the Saronic Gulf, of which only 6 are inhabited. These islands are best known for their rich history, wealthy captains, neoclassical architecture and cosmopolitan character.
Mainland Greece
Because of its geographical position, Greece was a crossroad of civilizations that had left their traces everywhere: the architecture of the museums and settlements, daily life, food customs, art, and the amazing scenery in the various cities the mainland has to offer. Discover the interesting cities of the mainland such as Athens, a modern city that thrives in the shadow of the Acropolis. And not to forget the ruins of Delphi, Olympia and Meteora, all reminders of the great civilization that once existed in Greece.

RETHYMNON

Located in central Crete, Rethymnon is a radiant mix of old and new. It has a young and vibrant nightlife contrasting with ancient monuments from long-gone days and differing cultures. The city of Rethymnon is one of the best preserved medieval towns in Greece where Venetian fortifications mingle harmoniously with orthodox and catholic churches, mosques, grand mansions of Venetian architecture, arches, and cobblestone streets. Rethymnon is a great place for shopping, from the marina harbor market held on Thursdays to the chic boutiques in the old town of Rethymnon. Resting just east of Chania, the coastlines of Rethymnon Prefecture are speckled with quaint seaside towns, leaving plenty of untouched land for Cretan wildlife.

The Rethymnon area features many postcard perfect towns and villages, gorgeous mountains, marvelous beaches, legendary caves, historic monasteries, and monuments. You'll find some of the best beaches in Crete amongst the seaside villages of Panormos, Bali and Gerani. On the south coast the lovely beach resorts of Agia Galini and Plakias can be found. Further inland you can discover the hidden beauty of the village of Anogia, close to Mountain Idi (Psiloritis), which is the highest mountain on Crete. It is truly one of the most scenic and traditional villages of Rethymnon.
