All Rhodes lead to you

If there’s anything more romantic than wandering along higgledy-piggledy cobbles as blushing bougainvillea petals tumble from the sky – then let us know. Time-captured Rhodes Old Town is the epitome of romance. Think arched alleyways, traditional tavernas and spill-onto-the-street-boutiques – all tucked within turreted castle walls… it’ll be love at first sight.

Crazy for Crete

Where better to stroll hand in hand with your other half than the Venetian harbour in Crete? Nope we can’t think of anywhere either! This impressive plot was built back in the 17th century and is a truly magical place to spend an evening.

Me and Corfu

Corfu is a treasure trove of swoon-worthy shorefront town and heavenly hilltop villages. Idyllic Arillas is full of character and regular festivals take the charm to a whole new level. For unbeatable beauty, book a boat cruise to the Blue Caves and Antipaxos - you’ll be completely and utterly wowed by the jewel colours that appear before your eyes.

Find your zone on Zante

Zante has a bit of a rep as a party place, but it’s also a dazzling destination for a romantic retreat. Competitive couples can bowl for glory at the exciting Bowl’m Over entertainment centre in Tsilivi, before hitting the bar with its 50s diner theme. Speaking of nightlife, if low-key live music sounds like your idea of an enchanting evening, check out the resort of Vassilikos with its relaxed after-dark vibes.
