Why Book a Golf Break in Greece

Jetting off to sunny Greece has long been a favoured option for chilly Northern Europeans, and with the advent of some first class championship golf courses, the Greek Islands in particular are of increased interest to travelling golfers.

Crete and Corfu are synonymous with beach holidays, offering the relaxed atmosphere, idyllic beaches and laid back leisure that are so attractive.

Both islands are also home to excellent golf courses, and are emerging as excellent alternatives for mixed parties including non-golfers.

Water sports, delightful hotels and fresh seafood are among the highlights of an escape to the Greek isles, which are now a golf holiday destination of international class.
