Samos is one of the most beautiful Greek islands and exploring the forests and mountains on foot, then again back to the charming town of Samos a good dinner is a real pleasure. Crete is another excellent option – its southern location means it enjoys a milder winter than the rest of the Greek islands, and its size makes it less vulnerable to strong winds that can affect the islands in winter.
Easter week
