Are the islands calling you? Corfu, Greece’s westernmost outpost, is green and mountainous, and famous for gorgeous resorts. Then there’s Greece’s biggest island: Crete. Once a fierce empire, its Venetian port towns and wild Minotaur legends make it arrestingly beautiful and incurably interesting. Visit curious coves, caves and tranquil whitewashed sanctuaries on your legendary journey, or just lay prone on a beach at one of the country’s wonderful resorts. Book flights to Greece to start a legendary trip, whether you island hop – or ‘fly and flop’
