Book Greek Islands

An endless expanse of sparkling waters coupled with unparalleled Greek hospitality awaits visitors to the Aegean islands. Each island is home to a unique spirit and mythology. From Patmos (the Aga Khan's favourite) to Hydra (which captivated Henry Miller, Leonard Cohen and Sophia Loren), the islands are imbued with an alluring sense of history, tradition and adventure. Several movies over the decades have been shot on them, including Boy on a Dolphin (1957) on Hydra, The Big Blue (1988) on Amorgos, and The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005) on Santorini. Sources of inspiration for millennia, ancient ruins, cliffside monasteries and volcanic rims are all must-sees.
