Best places to stay:
Blissfully quiet, adults-only San Antonio snuggles among the hoary olive groves above Kalami with magnificent views of the sea and the fishing village-cum-resort below.
The striking swimming pool terrace overlooking the bay is difficult to part from and not just because of the buzzy Bella Vista pool bar; the main a la carte restaurant Dyo Elies (Two Olives) cooks reassuringly traditional Greek dishes; and the concierge service can fix anything: from massage in your own room to scuba diving lessons.
A darling of package tours because of its exceptional standards of service, it also offers a slew of discounts to individuals if booked directly.

This charming, unassuming fishing village, with its quiet Blue Flag beach, has become famous because of the Durrell family who used to live there. Their family mansion, The White House, is now a popular museum. Book a boat tour along the eastern coast; it includes a stopover at a small private beach.

Greek Islands, Greece
Leafy, lush, historic Corfu welcomes with the sweet aroma of pine forests and citrus trees, its jungle-thick greenery contrasting pleasingly with scores of sandy beaches under a precipitous rocky coastline.
