GREECE & CYPRUS ADULT-ONLY GREECE DESTINATIONS
amily holidays in the Med are all well and good, but sometimes the prospect of screaming children, tumbling waterslides and towels on sunbeds at 7am isn’t quite what your clients are after. If that’s the case, and you’ve

got a couple or group looking for an adult-only getaway without venturing too far afield, suggest Greece. Cities steeped in history, secluded islands, stunning hikes, world-renowned parties and a plethora of 18-and-over resorts combine to create the perfect kid-free break. Whether it’s a beach holiday, active getaway, culinary adventure or cultural expedition they’re after, Greece is likely to have the answer.
w ADULT-ONLY RESORTS For clients seeking a complete break from family resorts, look to the likes of Rhodes, Crete, Kos
and Santorini, where you’ll find a handful of hotels dedicated to all things adult.
Among those worthy of
recommendation is the new luxury property Lindos Blu in Rhodes, built in the style of an amphitheatre on a hill overlooking the Med. It’s especially good for active travellers, according to Travel 2’s Lauren Ross, with water sports, diving, tennis, horse riding, hiking and cycling available. But it’s also worth highlighting to foodies, as its Five Senses Art Kouzina restaurant focuses on innovative ‘art gastronomy’ dishes. Over in Zante, Classic

suites. Zante Town is easily accessible for those after a spot of culture, so it’s a good suggestion for older couples wanting a secluded retreat away from the hustle and bustle. If a buzzy atmosphere is
what your clients are looking for though, suggest the village of Laganas. Jet2holidays recommends the three-star- plus, adult-only Agrilia Hotel for groups of youngsters looking to live it up in the area without
blowing their drinks budget on accommodation. Set just outside the main resort, it’s low-key, good value and modern, with a pool bar and occasional evening entertainment. At the other end of the budget scale, Olympic Holidays recommends the adult-only Diamond Deluxe Hotel in Kos. This new resort is ultra-stylish – all glass stairways, marble sculptures, Amazonian flowers and ornate chandeliers – and well located, with a secluded beachfront setting, making it a honeymoon haven. And if it’s romance that clients
are looking for, you can’t go wrong with Santorini and its whitewashed houses, iconic red beach and caldera views. Suggest Sun Rocks Hotel for a five-star, couple-friendly stay surrounded by Cycladic architecture, vaulted ceilings and expansive verandas above the sparkling blue
