Beach clubs, cliff-top villas and the famous Aegean light.
Greece pairs the world's oldest antiquities with an easy, sun-drenched glamour few destinations can match.
When to go
Late May through September, when the Aegean is warm, the meltemi winds are kind and the islands settle into long golden evenings. Your advisor times it to the light, the crowds and your own calendar.
The experiences
A sense of what this journey can hold — each one arranged privately and shaped to you:
- A cliff-top villa above the Aegean with an infinity pool that seems to spill into the sea.
- A reserved daybed at a coveted beach club, with a boat on hand for the afternoon.
- A sunset aboard a private vessel, drink in hand as the famous Aegean light turns the water gold.
- A late, easy dinner at a seafront table your advisor secured well in advance.
A sense of the rhythm
Summer here is unhurried indulgence. Late mornings by the villa pool give way to long lunches, an afternoon at a beach club or on the water, and evenings that begin at sunset and stretch on. You do exactly as much or as little as you please, and everything is arranged before you arrive.
A villa of your own or the finest luxury hotels?
A private villa gives you space, a pool and total privacy, ideal for families or friends travelling together. The finest luxury hotels bring service, dining and a lively scene right at your door. If you want seclusion, take the villa; if you want to be in the heart of things, the hotel wins.
How to do it well
The counsel our advisors give travelers planning this journey:
- Book beach clubs and the best restaurant tables ahead; the sought-after spots fill fast in high summer.
- Base yourself on one island rather than many, and let day-boats bring the others to you.
- Ask us to arrange a private chef for a night or two at the villa; it is a quiet luxury worth having.
- Plan around the meltemi winds, which can pick up in the afternoons, and let us choose your beaches accordingly.
What only your advisor can open
The difference between a good trip and an unrepeatable one is access — and access is a relationship, not a booking. Every guide, room and moment is chosen and sequenced for you.
Who it's for
Travelers who value privacy, time and doing it once — beautifully — and who would rather have one trusted advisor orchestrate every detail than assemble it themselves.
Estimated investment
From US$11,000 per traveler, based on double occupancy — scaled to your dates, party size and level of privacy. A starting point, not a final quote; confirmed once your advisor tailors the itinerary.
Designed entirely around you
Nothing here is a package. A Forest Travel advisor shapes the whole journey and stays one message away before and throughout your trip.
Your Virtuoso privileges
As a Virtuoso member, Forest Travel includes benefits reserved for Virtuoso guests at the finest luxury hotels, at no added cost: a room upgrade on arrival when available, daily breakfast for two, a property credit toward dining or spa, and early check-in with late check-out when the hotel allows.
