Greece

Cycladic islands and ancient shores

Honeymoons·Yacht weeks·Families
The brief

Greece, beyond the postcard — Cycladic light, Peloponnese pines and a small yacht week.

Greece is two countries: the islands (Santorini, Mykonos, Milos, Paros, Antiparos, Folegandros) and the mainland (Athens, the Peloponnese, the Mani). The combination — three days in Athens, four on a yacht, a closing week at Amanzoe — is the one we book most.

May and September are the kindest months. The water is warm, the meltemi is gentle, and the proprietors have time to remember your name.
