Gemma, 41, has been giving her fans a sneak peek at her holiday in a series of social media posts this week.
The TV star jetted off with two of her female friends to the sunny Mediterranean destination, where the latest series of hit show The White Lotus was set.
The Diva Forever star could be seen posing in one snap on top of one of the rolling hills, overlooking the stunning view.
Gemma smiled wide as she appeared to go make-up free for the snap, wearing a long flowing summer dress.
She placed her hands on the railings overlooking the view, comparing herself to actress Jennifer Coolidge.
Jennifer, 61, who won a gong at the Golden Globes for her White Lotus role last week, plays lead role Tanya in the series.
Gemma penned to show bosses: “I’m the original Tanya, I was here in 2019 and I knew this place was special.”
She went on to follow up with a series of snaps from her trip, including a number of delicious-looking dinners.
One saw Gemma head for sandwiches in a local pastry shop, while another saw her sat at a dinner table with her two pals.
The women smiled wide for the camera as she drank glasses of white wine, before being treated to a Michelin-star meal.
Gemma also shared snaps of her hotel, including the view of the valleys, as well as the local beach on her Instagram.

The TV star and her pals also looked to have visited a local market, as well as a stunning church in a nearby town.
It marks Gemma’s second holiday of the year, as she returned from a trip to Israel with fiance Rami Hawash this month.
Flying out ahead of the New Year, Gemma enjoyed the trip of a lifetime as she travels across Israel.
She even stopped for an emotional moment in Bethlehem to visit the birth place of Jesus, where she broke down in tears.
The country has an extra special meaning to the couple, who have been joined by Rami’s five-year-old son Tristan on the trip, as it’s Rami’s birthplace.
A source explained to The Sun: “Rami wants to introduce Gemma to his roots and his family that still live there, so they’re spending New Year there.
“It’s a big step in their relationship for him to introduce her to everyone ahead of their wedding next year.”
Gemma said ahead of her getaway: “I haven’t seen Rami’s family for nearly 10 years. It’s going to be really nice.
“Now I’m getting older, I like to be a bit of a tourist. I would love to see Bethlehem. I’m really excited, so that’s my Christmas present.”
Gemma and Rami first dated in 2011, enjoying an on-off romance for three years before splitting in 2014.
They got engaged in 2013 when he proposed by hiding a diamond ring in a Christmas pudding.
They briefly reconnected in 2017, but Gemma was back with James Argent soon after. However, she called time on that rocky relationship for good in 2020.
