Crete is Greece’s largest and most southerly island, and the temperatures in winter are often quite mild. There’s more to the island than just resorts, with four main cities and a range of archaeological wonders to explore.
The first stop is the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Rhodes Town. The capital of the island has a university and there’s always something going on all year round.
Santorini is one of the most popular islands in the whole of Greece. Its tourist season is getting longer and it’s becoming one of the best Greek islands to go in winter.
Santorini isn’t the only one of the Cyclades Islands open to tourism in the winter. You’ll find hardly any difference at all between the summer and winter months on Syros except, of course, for the weather.
One of the most popular islands in Greece, Corfu is a jewel in the Ionian Sea. Visiting in winter means you won’t experience the nightlife of Kavos, but that’s probably a good thing if you haven’t just finished your A-levels.
