Greece Travel Insights
Top 10 Activities in Greece
Whether you're interested in seeing classical ruins and centuries-old monasteries, scrambling through gorges filled with wildflowers, sailing on the Ionian Sea, or getting involved in a little bit of everything, you'll find what you're looking for in Greece.
Best Time of Year to Visit Greece
Greece has a Mediterranean climate with four seasons and a long, dry (and very popular) summer. There's never a bad time to visit, but depending on how hot you like it, the most pleasant temperatures are in late spring (May) and early fall (September and October). The weather is warm, the crowds are lighter, and conditions are ideal for sightseeing and island hopping. Winter, meanwhile, is cooler, quieter, and rainier, offering a more local feel in mainland cities, though many island services slow down.

8 Best Places to Visit in Greece
In Greece, the highlights are many. From pinnacles topped with ancient monasteries to the buzzing capital of Athens, paradise islands to ruins once considered the center of the world, here are the country's essential places to visit.
How Many Days to Spend in Greece
Spend at least seven days in Greece, and you'll be able to comfortably explore Athens plus one or two Greek islands—pair Mykonos and Santorini, for example, or stick to the culture and cuisine of Crete. With more days to spend, add a few less-visited islands to your itinerary or explore the mainland, from the mountains of the Peloponnese to history-rich North Macedonia. If you're planning a quick getaway, base yourself in Athens with mainland day trips (and an overnight on Naxos, if there's time).

Your holiday will be even more memorable if you spend your nights inside a castle, cave, or within the stone walls of a historic seaside windmill. Here are five suggestions for the country's best one-of-a-kind lodging options.

First, you can split your time between vibrant Athens and one additional destination, like the seaside town of Nafplio or the island of Naxos. Or, devote your entire trip to one locale, such as Crete or Rhodes, to truly understand the complexities of a specific island or region. See more options for your trip below.
