If you're hankering for a beach break, you can be certain you’ll find something in Greece. After all, this is the country with more coastline than anywhere else in the Med, stretching around the Greek mainland between its borders with Albania and Turkey and encircling every one of its 6,000-odd scattered islands.
So the question is: what sort of beach experience are you looking for? This isn’t just a choice between pebbles and sand. Do you fancy something urban that's within easy reach of cultural attractions? Would you rather go somewhere busy with beach clubs, loungers, music and cocktails? Or does your dream stretch of shore look wilder, perhaps accessible only by boat, where your footprints mark the sand beside the tracks of nesting turtles?
