Island Portraits
Choosing the right villa or yacht is only half the story; getting the island right is almost more important. Should you go for the villa on Paxos or the one on Paros? What is the difference apart from an “x” in one and an “r” in the other? Why do so many people want to go to Spetses, why is Serifos one of our favourites, is Ithaca worth the long trip, what is it about tiny Antiparos, and are you really ready for Mykonos or should you try Tinos first?
Matching the right person to the right island is one of the most important services we can offer, so to help you to identify which islands you would enjoy, which you ought to avoid, and which of several suitable ones to choose from, we have put together a gallery of island portraits of most of the islands we deal with. These are meant to be evocative thumbnail sketches rather than detailed guides on which beaches to go to and where to eat, rather like having a friend tell you why one island would suit you better than another.
You can use our interactive map (above) to find out more about each island, or use the dropdown menu below.
