Few beach holiday destinations can rival Greece when it comes to the perfect place for a beachy break. With the iconic Ionian to one side and the balmy Aegean to the other, Greece’s endless coastline is dotted with countless beaches from hidden coves to bustling ports. From the wild landscapes of the Peloponnese to the numerous island idylls scattered in the waters of the Ionian and Aegean Sea, Greece beach holidays have something for every kind of beach lover. Are you after the hum of a busy beach filled with people and water sports? Head to the island of Naxos to find stretches of butter-coloured sand, turquoise waters and a buzz of chatter from tavernas and cafes. The island of Corfu gives you history-soaked villages and beautiful beaches, while the rugged coastline of the legendary Peloponnese combines trips filled with sandy beaches, azure waters and sun-bleached ruins. Days melt into one another on Greece beach holidays as you snooze in the sun, swim in the sea and head out on a boat trips to find tiny coves – all fuelled by delicious seafood from local tavernas. Sounds like a slice of beach bliss to us.

"From start to finish the care and attention from the Original Travel team was excellent. Kate was brilliant - she really cared about making sure she tailored everything to give us the best possible experience. I usually research, book and organise all our trips myself but this trip has completely converted me to the Original Travel way! Thank you so much for a brilliant, much needed break!"
