Greece has been in the press recently for all the wrong reasons, however it is still very much business as usual in all the popular tourist hotspots and holidays in the Greek Islands represent fantastic value for money!
If you are looking for stunning scenery, beautiful beaches, friendly people, great food and loads of history, you cannot go far wrong with the Greek Islands. Each one has it's own charm and history but one thing guaranteed is the warm welcome from the friendly locals who will treat you like an old friend. From large international resorts to more traditional villages there is something for everyone on a Greek holiday.
Many tourists still head for the long time favourites such as Corfu, Crete and Rhodes, however other previously lesser known islands such as Santorini, Skiathos, Samos and Lesvos have been making a big push in the last few years and have firmly established themselves as great destinations in their own right.
Accommodation on the Greek islands ranges from basic self catering to luxury 5* hotels and there is something to suit all budgets and tastes. Many people prefer to go self catering or bed and breakfast so they can try the local tavernas and restaurants that serve up fabulous local specialities and give them the opportunity to experience the warm hospitality of the Greek people quite often late into the night or early hours!.
For culture and history fans, head to Crete or Rhodes for lots of historic sites that take you back in time. The Greek god Zeus was said to have been born on Crete and the many archaeological sites will keep you as busy as you want to be. The acropolis at Lindos is an impressive site sitting high above the town and looking over the sea. Rhodes Town harbour was once the site of the Colossus of Rhodes, which is one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.
For bright lights and late nights the popular party resorts of Faliraki on Rhodes, Laganas on Zante, Kavos on Corfu, Kardemena on Kos and Malia on Crete are a perfect choice. They all have lots of bars, restaurants and night clubs that go on well into the early hours, during high season these resorts are jumping and have all the summer tunes. All the resorts have great sandy beaches too which is a great place to recover after the partying the night before!
