Golf in Greece at a glance
Golf holidays in Greece are all about quality over quantity. Costa Navarino, in the Peloponnese, has four championship courses on one estate with 5-star hotels and a free shuttle to every tee. On Crete, Crete Golf Club sits in the hills above Hersonissos, with the hotel right next to the course.
Both are true stay and play destinations, so you spend your time golfing, not travelling. We put the whole trip together: hotel and tee times in one booking, with small deposits and each golfer paying their own share.

Planning a group golf trip to Greece
We've organised group golf trips for over 24 years. Here's how a Greece trip works with us:

- Individual payments mean each golfer pays their own balance. No chasing your mates for money.
- One booking covers your hotel and tee times, plus golf shuttles at Costa Navarino.

- Golf societies are welcome. See our GroupiaGolf Society page.
When is the best time to play golf in Greece?
| Months | What to expect | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| March to May | Warm days, wild flowers and courses in great condition. | The best golf |
| June to August | Hot and sunny. Tee off early and spend the afternoon by the sea. | Golf and beach |
| September to November | Warm sea, fewer crowds and ideal golf temperatures. | The sweet spot |
| December to February | Mild and quiet, with some rain and fewer direct flights. | Value |
Short break or a full week?
Crete is perfect for a long weekend at one great course. For a week, Costa Navarino lets you play all four courses without leaving the estate:
Getting to Greece
- Costa Navarino: fly to Kalamata, around 3.5 hours from London. The resort is about 45 minutes to an hour from the airport.
- Crete: fly to Heraklion, around 4 hours from London. Crete Golf Club is about 25 to 30 minutes from the airport.
- Winter: direct UK flights are limited, so you may need to fly via Athens.
Beyond the golf
At Costa Navarino, swim at Voidokilia beach, explore the old towns of Pylos and Methoni or visit ancient Olympia. On Crete, visit the Minoan Palace of Knossos, take a boat to Spinalonga, or enjoy seafood and Cretan wine in Heraklion's Venetian harbour.
