Why Cape Sounio is one of the Athens Riviera’s most rewarding spring escapes

04 May 2026

The Athens Riviera has long been a favourite for travellers looking to combine coast and culture, and Cape Sounio is one of its most distinctive settings. Overlooking the Aegean and close to the Temple of Poseidon, it offers a stay that feels both relaxed and connected to Greece’s history. At Grecotel Cape Sounio, the experience is shaped by its natural surroundings, with sea views, sandy beaches, and a strong focus on wellbeing, dining, and time outdoors. Spring and early summer is an especially appealing time to visit, when the landscape comes into bloom and the pace feels calm and unhurried.

A guide to some of the best villas in Sardinia for a relaxed Mediterranean escape

04 May 2026

Sardinia is known for its clear water, rugged coastline, relaxed pace, and unique charm that sets it apart from mainland Italy or Sicily. While hotels are a popular choice, staying in a villa offers a more private and flexible way to experience the island. From coastal views to peaceful countryside settings, these villas give you the space to enjoy Sardinia at your own pace, whether you’re travelling as a couple, with family, or in a small group.

One day you can be in the middle of a busy food district, the next you’re watching the landscape open out into mountains or coastline. These journeys aren’t about rushing through a checklist, but about choosing routes that naturally link places together and give each stop a bit more meaning.
