Luxury Travel to the Greek Islands —
Beyond the Postcard
Greece has 6,000 islands. Most travelers visit two of them. The ones who travel with genuine curiosity and the right guidance discover that the Greek islands contain more variety, beauty, and authentic experience than almost anywhere else in the Mediterranean.
Santorini for the caldera view and the sunset. Mykonos for energy and nightlife. Paros for the balance of beauty and calm. Naxos for the island that feels like Greece used to feel. Crete for a place substantial enough to spend a week. The Ionian islands for sailing. Hydra for a car-free island where time moves differently.
Adventure By You plans luxury travel to the Greek islands for clients who want more than the top two.
Island Guide
Island by Island
Santorini
The most photographed island in the world, and worth every photograph. Oia at sunset from a caldera-view villa is genuinely extraordinary. Best for couples. Book the best villa six months in advance. We arrange the villa, the cave suite, or the clifftop restaurant that requires a local relationship.
Mykonos
Cosmopolitan, energetic, and beautiful. Best for clients who want beach club days, world-class dining, and a social scene. The best villas are inland, away from the wind. We know which ones.
Paros
Quieter than Mykonos, more beautiful than it gets credit for. Naoussa is a genuinely charming fishing village with excellent restaurants. An ideal base for clients who want Greece without the scene.
Crete
Large enough to deserve a week. Eastern Crete is undiscovered; western Crete has Chania, which is one of the most beautiful Venetian harbor towns in the Mediterranean. Private villa rental in Crete delivers exceptional value relative to Santorini and Mykonos.
Hydra
No cars. No motorbikes. Donkeys and boats. One of the most peaceful and distinctive islands in Greece. Best as a day trip or one-night extension from Athens.
Rhodes and the Dodecanese
Medieval old city in Rhodes Town, Turkish-influenced architecture, Byzantine churches. Strong history, good beach access, less crowded than the Cyclades.
Yacht Charter
Yacht Charter in Greece
The Greek islands were designed for sailing. We arrange crewed yacht charters for island-hopping itineraries — Mykonos to Paros to Naxos to Santorini in a week, or the Ionian islands from Corfu south. The combination of private villa and crewed yacht gives clients the best of both worlds: a home base and the freedom to explore.
Private Aviation
Getting to Greece — Private Aviation
Athens International (ATH) is the hub for most Greek island travel — either direct to the island airport or via domestic connection. We arrange private jet charter to Athens or direct to island airports (Santorini, Mykonos, Corfu, Rhodes, Crete's Heraklion) where runway length and private aviation facilities permit.

Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
June through September is peak season. Late May and early October are ideal — excellent weather, open restaurants and businesses, without peak crowds and pricing. July and August in Santorini and Mykonos are very crowded.
Crete and Paros are our top recommendations for families — more space, calmer water, family-friendly beaches, and villa rental stock that works for groups.
Yes — the Dodecanese islands are close to the Turkish coast. We arrange itineraries that include Rhodes or Kos combined with Bodrum or the Turkish Turquoise Coast.
For clients with a week or more, yes. A crewed yacht allows you to wake up in a different anchorage every morning and experience islands that have no hotels or airports. It is the most authentic way to experience the archipelago.
