Last Minute Holidays from Glasgow to Greece

Island holidays give you the clearest sense of Greece, but ferry links and seasonal timetables mean the choice of island shapes both cost and transfer time.

• Naxos Chora: Few islands in the Ionian offer quite the same blend of Venetian-era charm and sheltered sea views as Corfu, and nowhere captures that better than Kassiopi. This small fishing village on the island's northeastern tip rewards visitors with a pretty harbour lined with tavernas, clear turquoise coves within easy reach, and sunsets that draw a crowd each evening. Travelodeal's package holidays to Corfu include ATOL and ABTA protection, so you can settle into island life with complete peace of mind. It is exactly the brief our Greece holidays deals are built around.
• Paros: Paros is less crowded than the best-known Cycladic islands and centres on a traditional harbour town, with beaches along the west coast. Its ferry connection to the mainland makes it a practical island for a short-notice trip, as you can reach it without a domestic flight. We recommend it to couples who want a genuine Cycladic town and quieter beaches rather than the busiest scene.
• Santorini: This island is one of the most visited in Greece, known for its caldera cliffs, whitewashed villages and sunsets over the water. The trade-off is cost and crowds in peak season, so a last minute booking here is best judged on value against cheaper islands. Ferries and flights connect it, and we check the onward transfer carefully when we build the trip. Santorini holidays remain popular, so availability can be tight.
• Milos: Milos is a volcanic island in the Cyclades with coloured rock formations and beaches that feel less busy than some neighbouring islands. It is reached by ferry from the mainland port, which means a longer journey than a short domestic hop but a quieter arrival. It suits travellers who value scenery and space over a packed social calendar.
• Kastellorizo: This small island lies close to the Turkish coast and is reached by ferry from the Dodecanese port of the larger island nearby, with a colourful harbour and very few visitors. Its remoteness means the journey takes effort and ferry timings can be limited, so it is a choice for travellers who want to be off the main route. We would suggest it as a deliberate add-on to a stay on the larger island rather than a short-transfer booking. It is exactly the brief our Greece Last Minute Holidays deals are built around.
