LAVISH villas, luxurious yacht trips and naked dips in the pool… no, we're not talking about the Kardashians – this is a typical summer holiday for the Greek royal family.
The glamorous clan have been busy documenting their antics in exotic locations on social media – and it's certainly a case of 'wish you were heir'.
The Greeks are no longer working royals, after their family was booted out by a military coup in 1973.
King Constantine II, who died earlier this year, was the last king of Greece.
But his descendants – son Crown Prince Pavlos and his children – maintain their royal titles and continue to enjoy the perks that come with them.
Unlike their British counterparts Prince William and Kate Middleton, who might prefer a shoot on the Sandringham estate or a family day out to the beach in Norfolk, the Greek royals take a much wilder approach to their holidays.

Last month Pavlos' eldest son Prince Constantine shocked his Instagram followers when he posted a video showing his model girlfriend Poppy Delevingne enjoying a naked swim while on holiday in Tuscany.
The clip shows Cara Delevingne's older sister topless, covering her modesty with her hands as she prances around the poolside before diving into the water.
She is then seen swimming in the buff alongside several of their friends, while his younger brother Prince Achileas breaks typical royal conventions royal by puffing on cigarettes.
Another Instagram video shows Poppy and pals horseback riding through olive groves of the Sierra Morena mountains in Andalucia, Spain, clad in designer tweed, crisp white shirts and chic boater hats.

The 24-year-old royal began dating Poppy, who is 13 years his senior, in March this year.
Their romance began after her separation from her husband, former model James Cook.
Poppy is no stranger to royal life – her maternal grandmother, Janie Sheffield, served as Princess Margaret's lady-in-waiting.
She appears to have bonded with Contantine's older sister Princess Olympia, who joined them in Tuscany.
The 27-year-old is now a bonafide model and has walked for brands such as Dolce & Gabbana and Michael Kors and became the face of Pretty Ballerina in 2019.
She has also been posting her own round of glam holiday shots from the Italian destination.
In one snap she poses in front of a mirror showing off her toned mid-riff while wearing a tiny blue bikini.
In another, Olympia, who is reported to have previously dated Prince Harry, is seen lounging on a sun bed with a pal in a silk floral dress.
This summer Olympia also partied at Glastonbury festival with pals including Kate Moss' daughter Lila.
Olympia has also shared sizzling snaps from Sicily, Paris, and was tagged at Wimbledon with Poppy last month and attending the Valentino show in Chantilly.
Meanwhile Prince Achileas, 22, shared a video earlier this summer from the Yankee stadium in New York.
Achileas is a budding actor and recently had a small part in the comedy film No Hard Feelings starring Hollywood royalty Jennifer Lawrence.
He graduated from New York University in May, and his family flew out to support him at his ceremony.
Achileas, Olympia and Constantine have two other siblings – Prince Odysseas, 19, and Prince Aristidis, 15.
Holiday homes
Meanwhile their parents – Prince Pavlos and his wife Princess Marie-Chantal – have been enjoying some summer getaways of their own, albeit a little closer to home.
Last month Marie-Chantal shared a snap of Queen Anna-Maria and Constantine from the island of Spetses.
In June she shared a birthday tribute to son Aristides with a photo of them together, captioned: "Just loving our birthday week in Paris."
Crown Princess Marie-Chantal has been married to Crown Prince Pavlos since 1995 and the couple have holiday homes spread across multiple continents.
According to the Sunday Times Rich List, Marie-Chantal – the daughter of American investor and 'duty free king' Robert Miller – is worth around £2billion.
They own a £2.4million property in London's exclusive Chelsea neighbourhood styled by renowned designer François Catroux.
With a huge living room, stylish furniture and high ceilings, one would be forgiven for mistaking it for a royal palace.
They also own a huge estate in the Cotswolds where they often spend mini-breaks.
In 2017 they hosted Olympia's extravagant 21st and Pavlos' 50th birthday party at the property, which attracted much attention thanks to its A-list guests and a topless party-goer.
It was attended by the likes of King Felipe of Spain and King Charles' goddaughter India Hicks.

It has been reported the family also have a house in the Hamptons, New York, which has been described as the playground of the rich and famous.
They also get to bask in the tropical sunshine whenever they visit their incredible pad on Harbour Island in the Bahamas, where they've spent many Christmases.
