SKIATHOS
OUR PICK FOR Beach bums
THE ISLAND Emerald pine-wooded
Skiathos, memorably featured in the original 2008 lm Mamma Mia!, is endowed with over 60 beaches – a surplus of silky sand in exquisite settings that few islands can match. Most of the beaches are on the south coast, culminating in Koukounaries, a stunning mile-long crescent of cream-colored sand and shallow turquoise waters, backed by a wooded lagoon. The island’s one town, Skiathos Town, is a jewel. Embracing a bijou harbor, it’s packed full of top-notch restaurants, bars, and night spots.
THE STAY Peacefully isolated on a cliff overlooking the sea, yet only a minute walk from the buzzing heart of Skiathos Town, Chrysoula’s Guest House was originally the summer villa of a wealthy family. The 10 guest rooms, furnished with marble and dark wood, ooze traditional character – and many of them have balconies and enchanting views over nearby islets. You can walk a few minutes to the nearest beach, or if you can’t wait to take a dip, swim straight from the rocks below. Double rooms at Chrysoula’s Guest House from £102, including breakfast; skiathoscluborsa.gr
SANTORINI
OUR PICK FOR Romantics
THE ISLAND Santorini is unmatched for sheer otherworldly beauty. Molten white villages and bubble-domed churches ooze over the island's tremendous curl of blackened cliffs. Endless views stretch over the waters of the immense inky blue caldera, formed around 1650 BC when the island blew its top in one of the biggest volcanic eruptions in history.

The Princess of Wales has always felt the pressure. Marrying into the most famous family in the world has been far from easy, but capable Catherine seemed to take it in her stride.Though the glamorous carapace, whether decked in Alexander McQueen or Zara, has hidden a more anxious young woman who didn't want to put a foot wrong. This past year has arguably been the toughest of Catherine's life - dealing with major abdominal surgery followed by a cancer diagnosis and treatment. But it has also given her the time to reprioritise and reassess what really matters.
