Greece is lapped by the warm waters of the Mediterranean, the Ionian Sea and the Aegean Sea, making it the dream destination for lovers of mermaids, beaches and antiquities. Its capital city, Athens, combines ancient history with a modern lifestyle. Islands such as Zante, Crete, Santorini and Corfu each offer a different vision of Greek tradition. Whether you want to explore the mainland or the islands, taking your camera is a must. Greece has everything you need for a romantic getaway in the sun. Club Med offers a wide range of holidays in Greece to meet your travel needs.

Home to some of the oldest and most important historical sites in the world, Greece is so much more than a holiday destination. Explore the ancient ruins of Athens and lose yourself in stories of gods, gorgons and Greek heroes for a family-friendly holiday back into the past and a history lesson the kids will love.
Travel back to the origins of the modern world: during your stay in Greece, get closer to history by visiting the Museum of Eretria in Evia. This seaside town houses a museum with a large collection of artefacts and ancient remains. Your all-inclusive Greek odyssey then takes you north, to Thessaloniki, Greece's second largest city. A young city, proud of its historical heritage. Discover the amazing curves of the church of Agios Pavlos, or visit the fascinating archaeological museum: the mosaics on display here will knock you off your feet.

On top of its historical heritage, Greece has an impressive gastronomic pedigree.
With its typically Mediterranean specialities – such as moussaka, taramasalata and souvlaki – it’s a dream destination for foodies. Go for an all-inclusive resort on the coast and treat your kids to baklava while you savour sumptuous local olives, freshly-caught seafood and a chilled glass of ouzo next to the Mediterranean Sea.

The best time to visit Greece is between May and October, when you can expect average highs of 25-34°C and dry, sunny weather.
Greece has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry weather seven months of the year, with the north meltemi winds providing gentle relief from the heat along the coast. With highs of 34°C in August, you’ll want to make the most of the cool mornings for sight-seeing, then relax in the pool during the hot midday hours, ready to enjoy the famously pleasant Grecian summer evenings.
