14 Tips for visiting Greece!
It's no secret that Greece is often ranked as one of the most beautiful places in the world, so we were excited to finally check it out. After 10 days of island-hopping, I can comfortably say that it easily lived up to the hype. With its natural beauty, ancient archeological sites, and incredible beaches, food, and nightlife, Greece is an easy country to fall in love with.
Taking a slightly unconventional route around the country, we started our trip with a three-day road trip through Albania, before taking a 30-minute ferry to Corfu. From there, we flew to Athens, flew to Santorini, and took a ferry to Mykonos, before flying home. Altogether, we spent 1 night in Athens, 2 in Corfu, 4 in Santorini, and 3 in Mykonos. All of the inter-island travel was super easy and inexpensive, and we highly recommend taking the ferries whenever they are available.
Some of our favorite Greek moments included relaxing at a hammam in Athens (which was highly recommended to us and entirely arranged by our amazing taxi driver), getting lost in Oia and Firostefani on Santorini, experiencing the Mykonos nightlife, and taking in the beautiful sunsets on Corfu.
My advice? Get yourselves to Greece, but make sure to avoid peak season. We heard from all of the locals that Spring and Autumn are the best times to visit the Mediterranean when the water is warm enough to swim, but neither the temperature nor the crowds are too overwhelming. We visited in May, and found it to be perfect.
