Heading to the Med is always Summer smart – great deals, excellent food, guaranteed sun and multiple islands and beaches to choose from.   Smarter still is taking an insider's view on where all that's available..with a little space. From the team that offers 34 Greek Islands from 27 UK airports, here's their pick of the “more for you – less of them” non-obvious Greek location picks:

ITHACA: Despite it being just a short ferry-journey away from the ever-popular Kefalonia, this scenic destination is often over-looked .The largest village of Ithaca, Vathy, remains unspoiled with an array of beaches, fishing spots and olive groves. A picturesque gem, Ithaca is perfect for seekers of natural beauty, including vineyards and orangeries as far as the eye can see. Beyond the beach, it's a great hiking location with rolling hills and insta-worthy scenery. SAMPLE BEST DEALS:
