Hidden Greek Island Escape

YOUR HIDDEN

GREEK ISLAND

ESCAPE AWAITS

INTRODUCTION

I’m excited to share this carefully curated collection of small Greek island escapes, bringing

together a selection of truly special destinations for those seeking something a little more

authentic, peaceful and off the beaten path. Inside, you’ll discover a beautiful range of lesser-

known islands, from the whitewashed charm of Astypalea and dramatic landscapes of Amorgos,

to the secluded elegance of Folegandros, Sifnos and beyond. Each itinerary has been

thoughtfully crafted in partnership with Greece specialists Sunvil, who have been creating

authentic holidays to the real Greece since 1970. Their unrivalled knowledge of the islands,

combined with carefully planned itineraries and trusted local partners, ensures you'll enjoy a

seamless and truly immersive experience from beginning to end.

Whether you're dreaming of a late summer escape or planning well ahead for 2027, now is the

perfect time to book. Late summer in Greece is a wonderful time to travel – the sea is

beautifully warm after months of sunshine, the peak-season crowds have eased, and the islands

settle into a more relaxed rhythm, giving you the chance to experience the true meaning of

Greek filoxenia – the warm hospitality the country is so well known for. With these smaller

islands growing in popularity and accommodation often limited, booking early is the best way

to secure your ideal escape.

As a Which? Recommended Provider and Feefo Platinum Trusted Service Award winner, Sunvil

offers exceptional service alongside outstanding local expertise, while their trusted in-

destination partners are there to support you throughout your holiday. From boutique hotels

and traditional guesthouses to effortless multi-island adventures with flights, ferries and

transfers included, every detail has been thoughtfully considered.

From choosing the perfect island to tailoring your itinerary and accommodation, I'll be here to

help every step of the way. Take a look through these featured escapes and start imagining

where your next unforgettable Greek island journey could take you.

Something of a hidden gem, Folegandros remains true

to the austere beauty of its rugged landscape, with its

sun-bleached, woodless terrain leading to precipitous

cliffs that seem to fall directly into a dazzling ocean.

Consequently there is a sense of privacy and seclusion

that is quite unlike other islands, and lives up to

Folegandros' soubriquet of 'the island of peace'.

Set on a superb cliff‑top above Chora, Fata Morgana

enjoys panoramic views across the Aegean. Studios are

arranged amphitheatrically around a pool, each with a

sea‑view terrace or balcony. Just a short walk from the

heart of the village, it combines comfort, character

and unforgettable sunsets - an ideal base for soaking

up the island’s relaxed charm.

AGISTRI -

A GREEN ISLAND ESCAPE

Close to Athens yet wonderfully unhurried, Agistri is a small, pine‑clad island where emerald

waters meet forested shores and life moves at a gentle pace. Yet there is plenty to do: the

crystal‑clear seas are perfect for snorkelling - especially in the southern bay of Aponisi, famed for

its Caribbean‑like waters - while nearby Aegina can be reached in just 10 minutes by sea taxi or

hydrofoil, and Athens itself is easily within reach. Friendly, laid‑back and distinctly Greek, Agistri is a

quietly captivating island you will not regret discovering.

Perfectly positioned above Skala’s sandy beach, the Oasis Scala Beach Hotel combines comfort

with an enviable seafront setting. Just moments from the village centre, it offers bright,

well‑appointed rooms with balconies, a seawater pool overlooking the Aegean and inviting spaces
