Self-catering holiday on Greek Islands
There are over 6,000 islands of different sizes located in the Aegean and the Ionian Seas. Only around 4% of these islands are inhabitated. The combined coastline of all these islands runs for around 75,000 km, with plenty of stretches of quiet beaches that you can have all to yourself and pretty bays where you can swim in the crystal clear waters. On some of the islands you will find so-called 'black beaches', which have been given their name due to the black volcanic sand. Many of the beaches you can visit from your chosen villas in Greece on one of the lovely Greek Islands have been awarded a Blue Flag Certificate for their particularly clean water. Those who like water sports will find perfect conditions for sailing, diving, swimming, waterskiing and windsurfing. In some locations there is also windsurfing available.

Cyclades - Naksos, Paros, Mykonos and Santorino
The Cyclades offer some of the most emblematic vistas of all the Greek islands. White-washed villages perched on hillsides leading down to the deep blue sea, cloudless skies and blue church roofs characterise the scenery of this group of islands and provide the captivating backdrop for your holiday in your chosen holiday apartments and villas in Greece. In summer, the calm seas makes the Cyclades popular with sailors. Neighbouring islands, to which you can get by ferry, make it easy to quickly move from one to another so can explore a few different islands on days trips.
Naxos Island is the biggest and the most beautiful of the Cyclades islands regarding landscapes. Syros is quieter than the lively Mykonos, which is, geographically, the heart of Cyclades. Paros Island is famous for its fabulous marble, and the picturesque fishing settlement also attracts many visitors. Santorini delights with its volcanic landscape.

In the eastern part of the Aegean Sea, between Samos and Lesbos, lies the island of Chios, which, according to a local legend, is the birthplace of Homer. There are lots of historical artifacts for you to visit and learn about the Greek history during your self-catering holiday in our villas in Greece on Chios.
