Planning a trip to Greece this summer? We don’t blame you. Between the beautiful beaches, delicious food and laid-back vibes, it’s not hard to see the Mediterranean country’s appeal as a must-visit summer destination. That being said, if you’re interested in island-hopping once you get there, you’ll want to narrow down your options — like, a lot. There are currently over 200 inhabited Greek islands, and each of them has something different to offer.
So what’s a jet-setter to do? Ask an expert, of course.
We turned to Dimitra Davidson, founder of award-winning, Canadian skincare brand Indeed Labs, to give us the scoop on the best places to visit, including her hometown of Zacharo, which she says is “known for its rich olive groves, particularly its Kalamata olives. The area is also famous for its long, sandy beaches.”
Say less! Here’s the Greece itinerary you’ve been looking for, complete with all the best spots to eat, shop and unwind.
“Ithaki in the Vouliagmeni neighbourhood of Athens. It’s a seafood restaurant with exceptional cuisine, and the views are outstanding.”
This spa is a stunning exclusive property on top of a mountain, with breathtaking views.”
“In Messinia’s Navarino Dunes, this resort has a wide variety of amenities and restaurants, great shopping and endless activities, like cooking classes, tennis and basketball. And there’s so much to discover in the region — both on and off the property.”
“Give your vacation glow a head start with this easy-to-use tinted serum. It’s formulated with hyaluronic acid to hydrate while also imparting the most gorgeous glow.”
