Where to go in Greece

Paros and Antiparos

Last summer, Paros and its tiny sister island, Antiparos, captured the hearts of travellers. These islands boast fun activities, stunning beaches, and vibrant nightlife complemented by exceptional villas. Antiparos, a hotspot for art and design enthusiasts, attracts a chic, cosmopolitan crowd, while Paros offers an energetic mix of sports, dining, and entertainment options.

Cycladic expert Dimitris Kaganis is your man if you want the insider’s edge. A Paros native, Dimitris has the connections and know-how to unlock the island’s best-kept secrets.

The Argo-Saronic Islands

Five Star Greece tips the Argo-Saronic Islands as the next must-visit destination. Enjoy a drive from Athens, taking in the region’s rich history and charm. Stop by sites such as the Corinth Canal, the Acropolis of Ancient Corinth, the amphitheatre of Epidaurus and nineteenth-century Nafplio.

• Hydra: Bohemian, glamorous and beautiful, Hydra is sure to captivate you.
• Spetses: Picturesque, car-free and historic, Spetses hosts a vintage yacht regatta and the spectacular “Armata” fireworks festival.
• Porto Heli: The ‘Gold Coast of the Peloponnese’, this pine-scented coastline is home to palatial waterfront villas with their own private docks and beaches. Pair your stay with a charter yacht to explore the region’s tranquil waters and enjoy fresh seafood lunches on nearby islands.

Syros

For a unique take on the Cyclades, Syros combines classic whitewashed villages with the sophistication of Ermoupolis, a neoclassical capital lined with sea captains’ mansions. Stay in one of the island’s beautifully designed, family-friendly villas for a luxurious yet laid-back experience.

Pelion

Pelion is perfect for explorers; its chestnut-forested and mountainous peninsula is famed for its pretty villages of stone houses set among rose gardens and orchards. The island has paths through the forests, plane-tree-shaded village squares, a mild climate and sensational views of pristine beaches. Alex Staikos, the Pelion specialist, recommends Five Star Grece’s cluster of four stone-built cottages on the water, set around a wonderful pool and boating in a tranquil yet fun location.
