The back story

About Luxury in the Greek islands: yachts, villas and resorts

The Greek islands offer some of the finest luxury travel in the Mediterranean, from Mykonos beach clubs to Elounda resorts.

Yachting

Chartering a sailing yacht or motor yacht, usually with a skipper and crew, is the ultimate way to see the islands. Use a licensed charter company.

Resorts

Mykonos, Santorini, Paros and Elounda on Crete have the highest concentration of five-star resorts.

True island luxury is a quiet cove reached only by boat.

Dining and beach clubs

Mykonos leads for beach clubs; Santorini for caldera dining.

Our advice: plan yachting around the meltemi, book resorts early, and combine one glamorous island with one quiet one.

Why it's on our list

  • Charter a yacht with crew
  • Choose your island for its style
  • Book the best suites early
