Your Kind of Escape in Greece
Ancient sites in Athens, whitewashed island villages, long lunches by the sea and ferries between it all. Greece is a classic for good reason, and the trick is choosing the right islands for the way you like to travel.
I plan and book these trips for travellers across Canada, from checked destination information rather than a personal trip report.
