Greece

Rhodes gets overlooked next to Santorini and Mykonos. It’s also the only Greek island that never really shuts down for winter — a milder climate keeps its season running from April through November. Santorini needs a car to see properly. The sights are spread out and hard to reach on foot, so we did one day on the water with Omega Travel’s catamaran and another driving around with the same company on land.

AthensWas sits at the base of ancient Athens, in a city that feels genuinely lived-in rather than preserved as a museum piece. And Andronis Concept, in Santorini, leans into wellness rather than just the view — though the neon sunsets and whitewashed cliffside homes are still exactly what you’d expect.
