Beaching through Mykonos, Santorini, Crete to Rhodes
So you want to go to Greece. Why? For the delicious food, the wonderful people and timeless history? And, and of course, Greek beaches. Greece has hundreds of beaches – each of them spectacular in their own way – if, for nothing else, it’s Greece! Where better to soak up some sun? Nestled close to the ever-alluring, impossibly clear blue Mediterranean Sea.
What kind of beach-goer are you? A toes-in-the-golden-sand beach person, a crowded, party-beach person, a quiet romantic cove seeker, just-want-to-be-close-to-the-water beach seeker or a stunning-beach-view person? Or maybe you’re a cooler, beach umbrella and full prep beach goer, a walk-the-shoreline bikini strutter, or someone who just-wants-to-shed-it-all-and-let-the-sun-kiss-you-all-over kinda naked beach lover?

Let’s be honest. It’s hard to find a bad beach in Greece – almost every stretch of soft sand, pebbly rock, or outright slab of granite seems to awaken our mammalian reflex to bake our bones close to the cool of the water. Visiting the beautiful islands of Greece within the tropical Mediterranean Sea allow a smorgasbord of opportunities to simply relax, soak up the sun or cool of in the azure seas. Rinse and repeat.
