Which Greek island is Boris Johnson holidaying on and where are he and Carrie staying?The absent PM and his wife have opted for a less famous, under-the-radar Greek isle Boris Johnson and his wife Carrie have been spotted in Greece in the past few days, apparently on their second holiday in two weeks.The pair were first sighted at Athens airport at the weekend, then in Nea Makri, a coastal town near Athens, a few hours away from Pelion where his father Stanley has a villa.Now they have moved on to a Greek island, where locals spied them on the beach with children Wilf and Romy. Mr Johnson was described as looking “chilled”.The Johnsons have chosen the under-the-radar island of Evia, or Euboea, for the beach portion of their holiday.

Wish you were here? Greece and Spain offer older Britons escape from soaring billsIt is mid-January, the new year has begun and Heraklion, the Cretan capital, is abuzz with tourists – most of them silver-haired. Over in Rhodes, senior citizens lap up the sun’s rays in the island’s elegant port town, many enjoying trips that began in November.These scenes are not real – at least not yet. Vassilis Kikilias, Greece’s tourism minister, hopes they soon will be as he looks to make the most of an energy crisis, soaring bills and global uncertainty. “Our doors are open 12 months round, our friends in northern Europe should know this. They should head here for the winter.”Next week, Athens will roll out a €20m (£17.5m) advertising campaign urging pensioners to do just that. “Wanna feel 20 again?” asks one of the billboards slated to appear in London and other capitals across the continent. “With warm winter temperatures up to 20C, Greece is the place to be,” it proclaims, next to an image of an older couple lounging on a yacht, wine glasses in hand.
