Greece has an incredible array of gorgeous islands boasting unrivalled scenery, from tiny uninhabited islets to large islands.  The large islands are adorned with beautiful cities and towns and sometimes have stunning features such as the Samaria Gorge on Crete. However, the mainland also offers stunning environments, such as the rock-pillars of Meteora and the unspoilt Lousios Gorge in the Peloponnese.  On this page, view our carefully selected scenic holidays departing from the UK, where you’ll find a great range of tours.

Scenic Island Escorted Holidays in Greece

Scenic island tours in Greece can bring you to places you’ll never forget, like famous Santorini where quaint old villages give way to majestic cliffs overlooking the limpid Aegean Sea. Scenic biking tours are a fun way to see the many different vistas this truly remarkable island offers.

The sights found in the Greek Islands are so unique and there are many ways to see them. Boat tours allow you to island hop, while hiking tours can take you to mountaintops for invigorating panoramas. In Crete, for example, you can sail into the picturesque Venetian harbour of Chania before embarking on canyon tours, trekking to the mythical birthplace of Zeus in Ideon Cave, going to the top of Mount Ida for jaw-dropping views and visiting two amazing pink sand beaches.  If you love travelling on water, you might like to have a look through our magnificent collection of River Cruises around the world.

Greece Nature Holidays

For untouched, secluded beauty, lesser-visited islands like Elafonisos have quiet beaches of endlessly stretching golden sands. Kea, meanwhile, boats a hilly, rugged interior with green forests that sets it apart from its neighbours.

Back on the mainland, the Halkidiki region near Thessaloniki, in northern Greece, offers splendid landscapes. Nature tours can find gems like the mountainous peninsula of Sithonia, which is home to vineyards and Mediterranean forests surrounded by stunning gulfs.
