Villa holidays in Greece are the perfect way to escape in 2025 and 2026. There are so many wonderful and unique places to stay in the Greek Islands and on the mainland, from a soft sandy beach in Thessaloniki to the beautiful Ionian Islands. Here is our guide to finding your ideal Greek villa holiday.
While staying in a resort can be fun, there's nothing quite like the freedom and space of you own place. From hillside homes to whitewashed villages, holiday villas can be perfect so many options available. Locations can be walking distance to the beautiful beaches or up in the hills to enjoy the surrounding views.
In terms of the villas, along with having plenty of freedom, many villas can have features including air conditioning, private swimming pools, games rooms, roof terraces, hot tubs, and much more.

The stunning island of Santorini has to be on everyone's bucket list, but it's not all about the Instagram photos you see. There is so much more to this incredible island, just waiting to be exploring on a villa holiday.

Rhodes is a popular option for holidays in the sunshine, but also is a fantastic destination for a villa holiday. This great Greek Island offers something for everyone, from families to couples and groups of friends.

Whether it's the impressive scenery, rich culture, crystal clear water, or simply the Greek sunshine, villa holidays to Corfu are the perfect self-catering escape, with a wide range of holiday villas to choose from.

The largest of the Greek Islands, Crete certainly has all you need from a villa holiday. With a wealth of accommodation dotted around the island, you can head out and explore its beautiful beaches, amazing scenery and much more.
Brands like Jet2villas and the TUI Group provide flight inclusive holidays, and Villa Plus offer hand picked ABTA and ATOL protected packages as well as extras like low deposits, check-in luggage and even car hire. Many also now have flexible booking policies should your plans change. Always check the booking conditions before you book as they can vary from tour operator to tour operator. If you book your flight and accommodation separately, like booking flights with Ryanair and then the villa through Airbnb, your trip won't be as protected.
It's worth keeping an eye on villa reviews when you book, especially if you've never stayed at a particular property before. While you won't necessarily find individual villas on the likes of TripAdvisor, many top companies hand pick their properties, ensuring they are at a certain standard for their customers.
It's important nowadays to have financial protection when booking a trip. Cancellations can be caused by all sorts of reasons, from travel companies going into liquidation, to airline staff strikes and everything in between. We always recommend booking a package with ATOL protection through the ATOL scheme. Always check the latest travel advice on the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office website.
