It is here in Greece, where the sky reveals a vast array of colours, yellows, reds, browns, blues and every shade of green you can imagine, all spread over rolling hills and vast valleys, lakes and seas. Majestic ruins, gorgeous beaches with translucent water, and cobblestone streets winding past colourful houses. Whether you’re visiting the mainland or the islands, there is no shortage of things to see, do, and eat. We give you four reasons to visit Greece this Spring and if all of the below fail to seduce you, there is still the sunset.

See the flowers blossom: The Aegean islands, pared down to the naked rock in summer, are a tapestry of wildflowers and herbs in spring. The outstanding natural beauty of spring in Crete reaches its maximum during the months of April and May, ideal for those with special interests in bird watching and wildlife. On this magnificent theme of green, almond blossoms decorate the hillsides making naturalists eagerly desire the coming of Spring.

Experience the “tweed run” in Spetses: The sunlight of Spring is warming Spetses up, creating the ideal scenery for a beautiful bike ride on the cosmopolitan Saronic Island. Lifestylers are gathering from all over the world for the customary men’s moustache grooming and shoe polishing whilst the women enjoy their hair styling session. Refined clothes from another era, such as hats, pleated pants, handcrafted bow ties, tweed jackets and capes capture the attention of passersby. In the idyllic Old Harbour of Spetses the scenery resembles that of the English countryside, with the tweed runners enjoying their cup of tea in the bright spring sunshine. The award ceremony for the best male outfit and the best female outfit is followed by a cocktail party, with Johnny Vavouras & The Cadillacs setting the tone for a party full of laughter and rock ’n’ roll music that echoes throughout the island!
