Greece

June to September is the classic Greek summer — hot, dry and made for the sea — with July and August the busiest and priciest. The shoulder months of May and October are lovely: still warm enough to swim, softer on crowds and rates, and ideal for the archaeological sites. The Peloponnese, home to Amanzoe, enjoys a longer season, comfortable from April into November.

Seven to ten nights lets you combine a mainland or island base with a few days at sea, plus a night or two in Athens for the Acropolis. We often anchor the Peloponnese at Amanzoe and add a private yacht leg through the Saronic islands, sequencing the whole trip so the land and sea halves flow together.

It depends on the mood. The Peloponnese (Amanzoe) blends temple-style calm, a beach club and easy access to ancient sites; Mykonos brings glamour, Santorini the caldera views, and the quieter Ionian and Sporades islands reward those seeking seclusion and sailing. We match the base — and any island-hopping — to what you want the trip to be.

Yes — you pay the same rate as booking direct and gain preferred-partner benefits such as breakfast, upgrades when available and resort credits at Amanzoe. The greater value here is combining land and sea: we arrange the private crewed yacht charters from the resort's own beach club, the archaeological guides who bring the sites alive, and the transfers that tie it all together.

Amanzoe, on a hilltop above the Peloponnese coast, is the country's architectural landmark — a modern take on a Greek temple, all colonnades and sea-and-olive-grove views, with its own beach club below. It is the ideal base for combining spa-and-temple days with private sailing through the Saronic islands.
