Are you thinking about renting a villa this summer?
Maybe you already know that you will rent one but you don’t know where?
Hopefully, by the end of this post, we will have convinced you why renting a villa in Greece should be high on your list.
Here are five reasons why it is so.
1. The Weather
Greece is located in the Mediterranean and thus it has a Mediterranean climate.
The Mediterranean climate is the ideal climate for most people and their summer vacations. Dry and hot summers, but not too hot, means that you can enjoy the day wearing just your swimsuit while at the same time, high humidity will be a non-issue.
Sunny and warm days followed by cool nights with a nice summer breeze will set the mood for your experience. So, go ahead – bring your sweatshirt but you will probably won’t need that umbrella!
2. The Islands
Greece has 6,000 islands and islets, of which 227 are inhabited. And the last decade, thanks to the ever-booming Greek industry, many of these islands have their own luxury villas. Accordingly, you will find luxury villas in Mykonos, Skiathos, Santorini, Kefalonia, Zakynthos, and most of the popular islands. You have tens of options to choose from both the Aegean and the Ionian Sea. Also, let us not forget Creta, the biggest Greek island located in the South part of the country.
If you are looking to rent a villa, you will probably want to do so on an island. And when it comes to islands, there no other place in Europe than Greece.
3. The Beaches
Here’s a thing that happened a few years ago: I was googling some beaches on the laptop and a friend from England happened to look at my screen and said “Huh, would you look at that? I can’t believe all these different beaches are from a single country”. And I said, “No, all these beaches are from a single island, Kefalonia”. Such is the diversity of the Greek landscape and its beaches.
Now, what do beaches have in common with villas? Well, many villas are built near these beaches! So not only you will have beautiful coastlines in the view from your villa, but you can also visit these beaches, should you get bored of the luxury of your own pool.
4. Greek Hospitality
Greek hospitality is well-known around the globe and for good reason.
In the Homeric times, an individual’s worth and honor were connected to how he treated a guest. Hospitality, or philoxenia,meaning “friend to a stranger”, is of high importance to all Greeks. No matter if you visit an obscure village in a high mountain to the West or visit a seaside town in the Aegean to the East, the natives will treat you with generosity and kindness.
Especially when it comes to the tourism industry, Greeks transform their cultural tendency into professionalism. So next time you visit Greece, let them spoil you a bit!
5. Home Away from Home
Villas in Greece feature state-of-the-art facilities that ensure your ultra-comfortable stay. They combine luxurious elegance with the comfort of your own home. It’s the best of both worlds! What’s more, villas are the only true option for those who really value privacy.
So, whether you are looking for a place to stay with your friends, family, or both, a villa in Greece is the perfect destination!
