Why choose Greece
- Islands for every taste — over 200 inhabited islands: from cosmopolitan Santorini and family-friendly Crete to peaceful Zakynthos. Each island has its own unique atmosphere and landscapes.
- Living ancient history — the Acropolis, Delphi, Olympia, the Palace of Knossos: democracy, philosophy, and the Olympic Games were all born here. Excursions are available from any resort.
- Mediterranean cuisine — fresh seafood, Greek salad with real feta, moussaka, souvlaki, and olive oil straight from the trees. Greek gastronomy is on UNESCO's heritage list.
- Pristine beaches and sea — Greece consistently ranks in the top three countries for Blue Flag beaches. Crystal-clear water, sandy and pebble coves, and picturesque grottos.
- Mild, sunny climate — over 300 sunny days a year. Warm summers without extreme heat and comfortable water temperatures from May through October make Greece ideal for a holiday.
Popular Greek resorts
Crete
The largest island in Greece with stunning variety: the pink beaches of Elafonissi, the Samaria Gorge, the ancient Palace of Knossos, and cozy mountain villages. Crete suits both family holidays and active travelers. This is exactly where direct charter flights from Almaty land in summer.
Rhodes
The island of the knights with a remarkably preserved medieval old town listed by UNESCO. The east coast with its sandy beaches is perfect for a peaceful holiday, while the west attracts windsurfers. Rhodes is the second main charter destination from Almaty.
Santorini
The most recognizable island in Greece with snow-white houses against blue domes and breathtaking sunsets. Santorini is the place for romantic getaways, honeymoons, and volcanic beaches with black and red sand.
Halkidiki
A peninsula on mainland Greece with three "fingers" stretching into the Aegean Sea. Kassandra is famous for its lively nightlife, Sithonia for secluded coves, and Athos for ancient monasteries. An excellent choice for those who want to combine the beach with excursions to Thessaloniki.
Corfu
The greenest island in Greece in the Ionian Sea, with Venetian architecture, olive groves, and azure bays. Corfu wins visitors over with its mild climate, refined atmosphere, and beaches for every taste — from busy to completely wild.
When to go
The beach season in Greece runs from May to October. Summer air temperatures reach +28...+35 °C, and the water warms up to +24...+27 °C. The best months for a holiday are June and September: it's warm enough for swimming but without the exhausting July heat, and prices are lower than in peak season. May and October are ideal for sightseeing trips — comfortable +22...+26 °C and fewer tourists. Charter flights from Almaty to Greece operate from June through September.

- Meteora — monasteries perched atop sheer cliffs in central Greece, one of the most striking sights in the world. Six active monasteries are open to visitors.
- Santorini and the volcanic caldera — a walk along the rim of the crater from Fira to Oia with views of the volcanic islands. The sunset in Oia is considered one of the most beautiful in the world.
