Gerald Durrell
A true story about ten-year-old Gerald living with his eccentric family in Corfu. Transports you to the Greek Island through its wonderful descriptions of nature, wildlife and landscape. Hilarious, inspiring and uplifting
Patricia Wilson
A mother and daughter come back together after years of separation. Perfectly transports the reader to the stunning paradise setting of Santorini
Louis de Bernières
A challenging but ultimately rewarding read set on Kefalonia. Vast in scale, detailed and poetic; it's about the horrors of war and the chaos it brings, human spirit, the fragility of love and the struggle to survive during WW2. You'll be glad you persisted through the first few chapters - this is a novel which stays with you long after you've completed it
When to visit
October
The more southerly islands are still the perfect place to relax and unwind in October. Visit the Dodecanese and Cyclades where it's still hot and sunny with beautiful beaches and magical vistas

Exploring Rhodes, Greece with Marco Polo GuidesIt’s about time that I posted about our Summer holiday to Rhodes. We actually got an amazing all-inclusive deal through On The Beach to stay at the Mitsis Village Beach Hotel & Spa in the small resort of Kiotari. I actually visited Rhodes when I was younger but it was Stefan’s first visit. I’ve been obsessed with re-visiting as I could remember Lindos was just a stunning place. Thankfully, it definitely didn’t disappoint. We also hired a car for our week in Rhodes as we really...

Milos travel guide: The most beautiful island in GreeceMilos is an unspoilt and lesser-known Greek island without half the crowds of other places in Greece, and I had been eager to visit for a while. So, we finally went to Milos this summer and it has easily become one of my favourite European destinations. It was the perfect mix of unusual scenery, incredible beaches, charming towns and wonderful food. Whitewashed towns are nestled along the cliffs, each made up of tiny lane ways full of character and history, and brightly coloured bougainvillea...
