GREEK ISLANDS FOR
CULTURE

SEEKERS

As it has been for thousands of years, the Greek Islands is a cultural
hot spot. Here, it’s possible to spend the morning in a local museum,
the afternoon at an atmospheric and crumbling castle, and the
night watching a movie under the vines at an outdoor cinema.

Ancient Footsteps
A trip to the Greek Islands
provides the chance to follow
the trail of Odysseus and
wander in the footsteps of
the Minotaur. The palaces of
Knosos (p260) and Phaistos
(p265) are deservedly popular,
but Hellenistic or Roman ruins
on Rhodes, Kos and Delos also
merit a ferry ride.
