On this week’s destination special we are heading to one of the world’s most popular travel destinations. We're off to the South East of Europe, to a country of thousands of islands dotted throughout the Aegean and Ionian Seas. The cradle of Western civilization, its capital, Athens, is home to ancient landmarks dating back to the 5th-century B.C. like the Acropolis and the Parthenon. A country of magical natural landscapes, turquoise seas and secret beaches, with the longest coastline in Europe and the most welcoming locals. It is of course, Glorious Greece. Unsurprisingly, Greece, and in particular the Greek Islands have been a hugely popular choice by my podcast guests over the last seven seasons and what I’ve especially enjoyed is really how many of them are hidden gems that I personally wasn’t hugely familiar with.The first half of today’s episode is a tour around the islands featuring some of my favourite guests over the last few years, and then, afterwards, we’ll be joined by Greece travel expert, fellow podcaster and Greece resident, Heidi Fuller-Love who’ll be sharing her extensive expertise, tips, and recommendations for your next Greek holiday.Destination Recap:Tom Kerridge - Agistri Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall - AeginaFiona Duncan - Koufonisia and AmorgosDavid Loftus - ParosYotam Ottolenghi - FolegandrosRaven Smith - MilosJo Malone - RhodesHeidi Fuller-Love’s Destination Recap:CreteE4 trail, CreteSitia Geopark, CreteSamaria Gorge, CreteKato Zakros, Crete Akoritiri, Santorini MarBella Elix, PargaNana Princess, CreteAgistriAeginaThirassia Thirassia Paradise SuitesAlonissosKarpathosEpirus MountainsFor more information about Greece head to visitgreece.gr and follow @GreeceGrammable on Instagram.With thanks to…Small Luxury Hotels of the World - Ease yourself into a holiday headspace and visit slh.com/travelcomfortzones to find out moreClinique UK - Discover Clinique at World Duty Free today. If you’re enjoying the podcast, then it would be wonderful if you could leave a rating or a review on your podcast app - it really makes a big difference because it helps other people to discover the podcast. And to hear future episodes as soon as they’re released don’t forget to hit subscribe or “follow” on your podcast app of choice.To find out who’s joining me on next week’s episode, come and follow me on Instagram, I’m @hollyrubenstein - I’d love to hear from you.  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
