Quick answer
Greece holidays come down to four broad choices: the Ionian islands in the west, the Aegean island groups such as the Cyclades and Dodecanese, big mountainous Crete, or a city break in Athens or Thessaloniki. Choose the island group before the island, as it shapes the scenery, the beaches and the pace of your week. Packages on this page start from £351 per person, two sharing, for January 2027 departures.
The most common mistake with holidays to Greece is treating the islands as interchangeable. A week on a Cycladic cliff-top, a pine-covered Sporades island and the mountains of Crete are very different trips, even though the flights and packages look alike.Below we set out what each island group and city is like, what the sea and the summer wind do through the year, the local hotel charge that sits outside the package price, and the passport and border rules British travellers ask about most.
