Greece is truly steeped in history, with ancient monuments from its illustrious past providing elegant backdrops both on the mainland in Athens and the numerous islands like Kos and Corfu that welcome tourists year after year. Distinctive, white-washed buildings, intimate village culture and bright blue seas characterise a typical Greek resort for a relaxed holiday but for those after nightlife, islands such as Rhodes and Crete have resorts that tick the right boxes.
