The Mediterranean jewel where myth meets the sea
Greece is where it all began: democracy, philosophy and the idea that beauty is every person’s birthright. That beauty endures in the white Cycladic villages perched on volcanic cliffs, the emerald coves of Crete and the legendary sunsets of Oia. Just 2.5 hours‘ flight from Switzerland, the country offers the perfect setting for an unforgettable luxury holiday in Greece and a booming luxury hotel scene, from Santorini for romance and Mykonos for glamorous beach-club life to Amanzoe in the Peloponnese, one of the most exclusive resorts in Europe.
As your personal Greece travel consultant in Basel, we tailor your luxury holiday in Greece to you. We know the difference between a suite with a caldera view in Oia and one without, which bay on Crete is still undiscovered, and which island-hopping programme suits you perfectly. From Business Class flights from Zurich, ferries and catamaran charters to private wine tours and guided archaeological visits, every detail is arranged personally. Protected by the Swiss Travel Industry Guarantee Fund and planned with more than 30 years of experience.
Direct flights from Zurich to Athens (ATH) with SWISS and Aegean Airlines (approx. 2.5 hours). To Santorini (JTR), Mykonos (JMK) and Crete/Heraklion (HER) with Edelweiss, Aegean and SWISS (seasonal, 2.5–3 hours). Connections are also available from Basel and Geneva. Within Greece, short flights (Aegean, Olympic Air, Sky Express) and ferries link the islands in 30–60 minutes (flight) or 2–8 hours (ferry). As an IATA agency, we book all flights and ferries and coordinate the entire island-hopping logistics.
We organise island hopping by domestic flight (fast and comfortable) or high-speed ferry (SeaJets, Hellenic Seaways). On the islands: private chauffeured transfers, premium hire cars or, on request, private helicopter transfers. On Santorini and Mykonos, the hotels are within easy reach. On Crete, we recommend a hire car for excursions inland. All our holidays in Greece include airport transfers.
Euro (€). Credit cards are accepted in hotels and larger restaurants, but cash is often preferred on the small islands and in tavernas. Greece offers excellent value for money by European standards: even top hotels cost less than comparable properties in the South of France or on the Amalfi Coast.
During your luxury holiday in Greece, glide through the legendary caldera on a private catamaran, past the white cliffs of Oia, the hot springs of Nea Kameni and the island of Thirasia. Swim in crystal-clear volcanic waters, enjoy freshly grilled fish and local Assyrtiko wine on board and watch the world's most famous sunset from the water. We book private catamarans for 2 to 12 guests: no other passengers, with your own skipper and chef.
Santorini produces some of the most unusual wines in the world: the vines grow in volcanic soil, trained into traditional basket shapes (kouloura) to protect them from the wind. As a special highlight of your luxury holiday in Greece, you visit the Santo Wines and Estate Argyros wineries and the historic Boutari estate with a private sommelier. Taste the mineral Assyrtiko, the rare Nykteri and the sweet Vinsanto, accompanied by local cheeses and a view that makes every wine taste even better.
See the Parthenon, the Erechtheion and the Temple of Athena Nike before the crowds arrive, accompanied by a private German-speaking archaeologist who brings 2,500-year-old stories to life. Afterwards, stroll through the new Acropolis Museum, whose glass floor reveals the archaeological excavations below. A cultural prelude that gets your holiday in Greece off to an unforgettable start.
Oia is famous for the most beautiful sunset in the world, but the public viewpoints are crowded. We arrange an exclusive dinner on a private terrace with a caldera view, served by a private chef: fresh fish, local wine and handmade desserts, while the sun bathes the cliffs in flaming red and gold. An experience reserved just for you.
