Sophisticated Greek Island hopping

Greek Island hopping doesn’t have to be for the very young, with Greek villa specialist, Travelux providing luxury self-catering holidays on the stunning Islands of Lefkada and Meganissi with boat hire available to explore the plethora of neighbouring islands at a leisurely pace.

With over 40 luxury villas and apartments, each with private pools, on the Ionian Islands, every holiday is tailored to suit, with time spent in both locations a possibility.

A perfect time of year to enjoy a more sophisticated island hop experience is September and October, with the intense summer sun slightly cooling and a somewhat quieter way of life in Greece. Travelux can also arrange a variety of boat hire from small 25 horsepower speed boats to luxury yacht charters. This way, guests can cruise around the vast array of uninhabited islands in the area as well as the better known ones such as Skorpios, the private holiday island of the shipping billionaire Aristotle Onassis. There are also a number of beautiful bays surrounding Meganissi and Lefkada where guests can moor up and actually explore.

With the Ionian islands offering great diversity, from long sandy beaches and hidden coves to olive-clad hillsides and mountain ranges, guests can enjoy the rare flora, fauna and wildlife around the islands and do as much or as little as they wish.

Properties available this September and October include:

Villa Lemoni, Lefkada
Sleeping up to four people, this beautiful villa is perfect for those wanting to avoid steep hills or steps. Just two kilometres from Lefkada town, Villa Lemoni sits in grounds with extensive gardens, a private swimming pool and views across olive groves to the distant hills. A great location to explore on bike with ancient windmills and salt lakes nearby. Prices start from £980 for a week in October.

Villa Andromeda, Meganissi
Villa Andromeda is a delightful house with accommodation conveniently located on one level. With an infinity swimming pool and panoramic views across the village of Spartohori, to the hills and sea, no one overlooks this villa which provides the ultimate privacy. Only a five minute walk to Spartohori, there are a few tavernas offering fresh local food as well as local shops for those who wish to prepare food for themselves. Prices start from £1,371 for a week in October.

Discounts of 25% are available on selected September and October departures (subject to availability).
