Greece: Blue Skies, Zero Worries, Island Paradise
If your dream spring break involves whitewashed villages, sparkling seas, and endless blue skies, Greece is calling. April and May bring perfect temperatures—warm enough to bask in the sun, but without the summer crowds.
Why fly private?
With hundreds of breathtaking islands, Greece is best explored by private jet. Fly direct to Mykonos, Santorini, or even the lesser-known Paros, cutting out the ferry journeys and getting straight to paradise.
Where to go
– Santorini – The ultimate romantic escape, with clifftop infinity pools and jaw-dropping sunset views.
– Mykonos – Chic beach clubs, boutique hotels, and a glamorous yet relaxed vibe.
– Crete – A blend of history, nature, and stunning beaches, perfect for those who want variety.
Bank holiday highlights
– Stay in a private villa overlooking the Aegean with your own pool and butler service.
– Charter a yacht to explore hidden coves and untouched beaches.
– Enjoy a leisurely taverna lunch by the sea—grilled octopus, fresh Greek salad, and an ice-cold glass of Assyrtiko.

The Amalfi Coast: Sip, Sunbathe, Repeat
A bank holiday in Italy? Always a good idea. The Amalfi Coast is pure magic in spring—lush lemon groves, pastel-hued villages, and dramatic sea views without the summer crowds.

– Ravello – An artistic retreat with stunning gardens and world-class concerts.
– Capri – A jet-set favourite, just a short boat ride away, with designer boutiques and hidden beach clubs.
Bank holiday highlights
