The Greek Islands are within reach
Earlier this month, Greek Tourism Minister Harry Theocharis shocked headlines with his announcement of the country’s plan to bring tourists back to Greece by May 14, touting that "Tourists will be welcome if before travel they are either vaccinated, or have antibodies, or test negative (for COVID-19).” While do not know the exact entry details for US travelers quite yet, needless to say, Greece is on our minds! Andiamo rounded up some of our favorite destinations in the Greek Isles.
Mykonos:
Perhaps the most famous (or infamous), renowned for its rolling hills, white beaches and the high-rolling international crowd that vacations there.
Where to stay: Santa Marina, a Luxury Collection Resort

Santa Marina invites you to soak in the glamorous lifestyle of Mykonos in the island’s most fashionable and sophisticated setting. Home to Mykonos’ only private sandy beach, the Santa Marina provides the ultimate exclusivity and privacy. The 101 guest rooms and suites, along with 13 private villas, offer beach-chic interiors with modern, natural luxuries, many with balconies opening to views of the hypnotic Aegean Sea.
Andiamo Pro Tip: When visiting during peak season, be sure to let us arrange a table or one of the fabulous egg cabanas, for you at Buddha-Bar Beach situated right on the water.
Santorini:
This island feels like no other place on earth. Everything is brighter from the whitewashed villas to the Lapis Lazuli Sea or the sunsets that light up the caldera.
Where to stay: Canaves Oia Suites

Arguably the best accommodation in Santorini, Canaves Oia Suites offers just 25 suites in total, ensuring that every expansive suite will provide the sweeping dramatic views from your private veranda. Many accommodations feature exterior plunge pools or larger swimming pools. This luxury hotel in Oia has created the ideal setting for guests to enjoy the fairytale atmosphere on the Aegean Sea.
Andiamo Pro Tip: Allow Andiamo to book a private excursion aboard Canaves’ private yacht where you can even spend an unforgettable night in the middle of the sparkling waters. It’s hard to imagine a more romantic setting.
Naxos:
Imagine yourself on this private slice of island paradise with far less bikini-clad bustle than busier Mykonos and Santorini. Expect imposing mountains and green valleys, beautiful beaches and immerse yourself in the culture of the local villages.
Where to stay: Naxian On The Beach

Experience barefoot luxury at its finest at Naxian On The Beach, conceived exclusively for couples. This romantic bohemian oasis features only 10 suites that are only steps from the beach. Plaka Beach is one of the more happening beaches on the island and Naxian on the Beach has taken over a quiet, exclusive spot with its own sun beds so you can enjoy the very best of the island.
Andiamo Pro Tip: Allow Andiamo to book a day of sight-seeing to the nearby rural villages for a true taste of Greek culture and cuisine!
