Rural retreats in Greece

So leisurely is the ebb and flow of Greek countryside life that it’s hard to imagine a more fitting location for a relaxing rural retreat. Olives ripen slowly in the Mediterranean sunshine, while men socialise over coffee in dappled village squares and, all around, the countryside is alive with the song of cicadas.

Holidays in Greece and its islands come with a landscape steeped in myths and epic legends, ancient history residing in its peaceful ruins and along well-worn walking tracks that wind through pine forests and around mountains. On a rural retreat in this magical destination, the senses are awakened as your body unwinds, and stresses simply ebb away.
