Greece Travels Playlist | A One-Hour Escape to the Aegean

This image shows a picturesque coastal village with whitewashed buildings and blue-domed roofs, situated on a cliff overlooking the deep blue sea. The village is characterized by its traditional Cycladic architecture, with structures built close together and terraced on the hillside. The buildings are primarily white, with some featuring orange and yellow accents. The scene is set against a backdrop of a large, rugged cliff and a partly cloudy sky. Palm trees and other vegetation add a touch of greenery to the landscape.

The Greece Travels playlist is an hour-long escape meant to transport you. Whether you have stood beneath the Aegean sun or simply dreamed about it, these songs are an invitation to slow down, put your vacation hat on, and unwind. They trace the feeling of a perfect Greek day, from the lively streets of Athens to quiet moments by the sea on one of the islands. If I could rewind my visits and bring you along, this is the soundscape we’d have with us.

This image shows a vibrant scene featuring a climbing plant with pink and white flowers cascading down a white wall. The plant is growing over a small window with a wooden frame and black bars, partially covered by a white curtain. Below the window, there is a large terracotta pot containing the plant. To the left of the window, there is another green plant with spiky leaves. The wall appears to be made of a light-colored material, possibly stucco or painted concrete.

This image shows a serene outdoor scene with a historical structure in the background. The structure appears to be an ancient temple, characterized by its classical architecture with columns and a triangular pediment. The temple is surrounded by lush greenery, including tall trees and various types of shrubs. In the foreground, there is a low stone wall with a concrete platform, and a small, bushy plant is growing near the edge. The sky above is clear and blue, indicating a sunny day.

It begins with Nana Mouskouri, a nod to tradition and nostalgia that instantly sets the tone. From there, two personal favorites from my travels. I always had these two tracks in my headphones, Rufus Wainwright’s “Greek Song” and Fleet Foxes’ “Mykonos”. Next, the journey shifts to modern Greece with artists like APON, Klavdia, and Michalis Koumbios, each adding fresh rhythm and texture.

This image shows three small boats floating on a calm body of water, likely a sea or a large lake. The boats are moored close to each other with ropes. The boat in the foreground is predominantly white with red accents and has the text "Nikita" visible on its side. The middle boat is also white with red accents and displays the text "MAYPOMATA A.M.1368". The third boat, slightly further back, is white with blue accents. In the background, there is a coastal town with numerous white buildings and some greenery, suggesting a Mediterranean or tropical location. The sky is clear with a few scattered clouds.

As the playlist unfolds, the mood turns oh so chill. Tracks like “Too Late” by Washed Out and “Into the Woods” by Tycho feel like you’re floating in clear water with the sun on your skin. Finally we get into an ultimate state of relaxation with tracks like “Memories” by Tamsui and “Keep On” by Amaraldo. They encourage you to take it slow, and take a few deep breaths.

This image shows an outdoor scene with several people exploring an ancient site. The site features stone ruins and remnants of old structures, suggesting a historical or archaeological location. In the background, there are modern buildings, including a pink house with a distinctive architectural style. A group of people are walking around the ruins, some are standing near a large bush with purple flowers on the right side of the image. The sky is clear and bright, indicating a sunny day.

This image shows a serene scene where a person is holding a cup with a striped pattern, possibly enjoying a beverage. The cup is held close to the camera, creating a blurred effect. The background reveals a balcony with a white railing, overlooking a vast, calm ocean. The ocean stretches out under a clear sky, with a distant silhouette of mountains on the horizon. The overall atmosphere suggests a moment of relaxation and tranquility by the sea.

This mix is made for beach mornings, exploring, poolside afternoons, or simply dreaming of the sea from wherever you are. Press play, let the sunlight in, and drift away to Greece with me.

This image shows a serene beach scene with clear blue waters gently lapping onto the shore. The beach has a mix of sand and small pebbles, with the water creating a white foamy edge as it reaches the land. In the background, there is a rugged, rocky coastline with varied terrain, including cliffs and slopes. The sky above is mostly clear with a few scattered clouds. The overall atmosphere suggests a tranquil and picturesque coastal environment.
