Having visited many of the Greek Islands over the previous years – including Santorini, Mykonos and Rhodes – we never bore of the Greek people, hospitality, food and weather
The Greek islands are getting another boutique hotel, but with a twist. Thomas Cook has opened the second hotel from their Casa Cook Collection, this time in Kos.
Located in the Cyclades, situated alongside other paradise islands such as Santorini, Mykonos has had a long history attracting artists, the rich and the famous, from as early as the 30s. Towards the 70s, Mykonos attracted more of a hippy crowd, before re-establishing itself as one of the most glamorous destinations in Europe.
Santorini offers some of most beautiful views in Europe. A major volcanic eruption, thousands of years ago, caused the island to collapse into its now-famous caldera, which is one of the most incredible sights you’ll see when you stand on the top of the mountain. Add great cuisine, Greek hospitality and stunning scenery and we know why people return to this island.
You live in Northern Europe. It’s October, it’s getting wet, cold and grey. What do you do? Fear not, you still have opportunities to get great sunshine, beaches and relaxation. One great option is Rhodes. Lined with miles of beaches, a mountainous centre and plenty of history including old crusader castles, churches and medieval towns with over half the year covered in sun.
