Where to go in Greece

The area list helps you choose between islands, regions and resort areas before you look at specific hotels.

  • Crete
    Crete is listed as one of the broader choices, so it suits travellers who want to compare options across a large place rather than focus on a single town. Use it when you want a base among many different hotel styles.
  • Cyclades
    The Cyclades are a good pick if you want an island group with several separate guides to compare. It works well for narrowing a trip around island-hopping instead of staying in one place.
  • Peloponnese
    The Peloponnese gives you a mainland option in the mix, which can help if you want to balance island stays with a different kind of Greek trip. Check it when you are choosing by region first.
  • Corfu
    Corfu is a clear island choice in the list, useful if you want to focus on one destination rather than a wider region. It also connects well with the hotel picks that include nearby island stays.
  • Halkidiki
    Halkidiki works as an area choice when you want to compare stays by resort area instead of a major city or island name. It is a practical filter for choosing a beach-focused base.
  • Rhodes
    Rhodes is another island option to compare against the better-known guides on the page. Use it if you want to stay with a single island destination and sort hotels by score and area.
  • Mykonos 31 guides
  • Santorini 16 guides
  • Naxos 16 guides
  • Athens 15 guides
