Greece is a truly amazing country, however rather than staying in a hotel why not arrange to hire a gulet type vessel through Goolets.com. If you do you have the opportunity to be able to explore this amazing country from a completely different perspective.

Each day you could find yourself waking up to some truly spectacular views as the gulet which you have hired travels around the Greek coast.

Hydra – The atmosphere on this island is very unique and even though it isn’t situated far from Athens it has managed to retain a lot of its charm.
