‘The isles of Greece, the isles of Greece, eternal summer gilds them yet…’
Lord Byron was on to something when he waxed lyrical about the Greek islands. But with more than 200 to choose from, which one is right for you? After a difficult decision to be taken, because of the fact that each one is unique and there is so much beauty to be revealed in any case, here are the best Greek islands to visit this summer.
These sunny islands are the perfect half-term hideout. Easy to get to, with fabulous beaches, clean waters, delicious food and a cheek-pinching matriarchal love of local people.
Nuzzled amidst the gracious nature, three unrivalled luxury villas in Porto Heli, Greece, harmoniously blend into the miraculous seascape providing an intimate hideaway for families and discerning travellers in search for a heaven on earth. Brilliantly positioned in a scenic area near Porto Heli town, these exclusive private villas with pool, have been brilliantly appointed and designed to ensure a prestigious holiday experience for all treasured owners or guests.
The development’s location was strategically chosen for its close proximity to the center of Porto Heli, (only 2km from main port), perfect elevation with unobstructed views onto the sea and backdrop of the Peloponnese, and yet only 50 meters away from a secluded charming pebbled beach directly across from the villas. Every villa has a slight variation in design, build-up area and land size, sharing a common private road in the back of the development, allowing access to each of the villas through a privately gated entrance.
An incredible recipe from by mum’s cookery book …!
Vasilopita is the highlight of the season’s festivities for me. The special dessert is named after St Basil, a very wealthy and generous man living in Cappadocia in the 4th century who, as the story goes, decided to distribute his fortune to those in need, by making small pies and hiding money or jewellry in each one of them.
On New Year’s Day in Greece and in many European countries, families cut the Vasilopita (New Year’s white cake) to bless the house and bring good luck for the new year.
This is usually done at the midnight of New Year’s Eve. A coin is hidden in the cake by slipping it into the dough after baking. At midnight the sign of the cross is etched with a knife across the cake. A piece of cake is sliced for each member of the family and any visitors present at the time, as well as for Saints or whomever else the household wants to honour, by order of age from eldest to youngest.
Whoever finds the coin is supposed to have good luck for the rest of the year .
