Greece is not only the perfect backdrop for Instagram photos, but also the ideal destination for a romantic couple's stay or a family discovery.
Imagine waking up to an endless view of the sea and the Cycladic islands in the distance, and all viewable from the private pool of a luxury villa, what could be better? Greece is only a few hours by plane from the UK and promises an exotic stay. In addition to the magnificent landscapes, Greece offers renowned gastronomy and cultural visits that are not to be missed. So add Greece to your list of countries to discover and plan a dream trip!
Villanovo offers you a wide choice of villas in Greece and especially on the Cycladic islands: Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, Kea... All are as wonderful as each other, as the islands are located a short distance from the top sites to visit in Greece. To move from one island to another, you can take the inter-island ferries. Go from Mykonos to Santorini and then Paros if you fancy it, all in record time if you want to explore Greece during your stay.
Ideal for a family outing, even if you are staying in a villa in Santorini, take a boat to Athens and visit the Acropolis Temple as well as the temple of the Greek goddess Athena Nike and many other sites which boast a fascinating history. The capital of Greece and one of the oldest cities in the world is considered to be the heart of the Mediterranean, a must-see for families and even couples who want to leave full of memories.
If you are looking for a stay between sky and sea, Santorini is the destination for you. Rent a sublime villa on the Greek volcanic island, with a private pool and sea views for a stay like you have always dreamed of. The superb Villa Ingrid is ideal for a trip with friends, a place to completely cut out the routine and urban landscape you are used to. Indulge in relaxing activities such as yoga by the pool and enjoy the healing powers of the Greek sun.
In Santorini, visit the Akrotiri, a Minoan Bronze Age settlement. The village was destroyed during the eruption of Teran in the 16th century B.C. and buried under volcanic ash, which has preserved the remains of fine paintings and many objects and works of art. A detour that is worthwhile if you wish to leave your private swimming pool for a few hours, is the Paralia Vlichada. This beach and its high cliffs reminiscent of the Algarve offer a splendid landscape for a day on the sand.
The island of Mykonos is a rising destination in the world for partying, beach clubs and nightclubs that are slowly making a place for themselves on the island and may soon compete with the most famous island of partying: Ibiza.
If you want to spend the day in a festive atmosphere and prolong the fun until sunset, head to Paradise Beach. Here, uninterrupted music and cocktails on the lounger will enliven your day. Enjoy the relaxing scenery and have fun with friends. At the end of the day, heading back to a superb luxury villa such as Villa Gabin could not be more perfect.
Alternatively, spend the afternoon visiting the iconic grey and white cobbled streets of Mykonos and indulge yourself in the many typical shops of the island. At nightfall, head to the VOID, a famous exclusive club in the west of the island with atypical architecture and 3 floors for an evening until dawn.
Paros, for a quiet holiday
Far from the bustle of Mykonos, Paros is one of the Cycladic islands known for its traditional streets. The advantage of Paros is that due to its low reputation (for the time being) compared to the mythical islands of Greece, prices are more affordable and 30 to 40% lower than in Mykonos or Santorini. If you are looking for a cheap stay in Greece, it is better to choose the small island of Paros.
In Paros, get lost in the streets and if you are an octopus lover, go to the town of Naoussa and taste Greek gastronomy in a restaurant facing the sea, hidden in small alleys. During the day, the beaches of Paros offer a landscape half countryside half beach paradise as the vegetation extends to the seaside, it is a relaxing landscape for a quiet stay on the island.
