Greece Travel Guides

Island-hopping, ancient ruins, and long evenings by the Aegean

I fell hard for Greece — the light, the food, the pace of life on the islands. These guides cover everything from navigating the Santorini crowds to finding the quieter beaches of Rhodes and Symi, exploring Chania’s Venetian harbor in Crete, and making the most of a few days in Athens.

More about Greece

The islands

The Greek guides here concentrate on two islands rather than the Cyclades circuit, both large enough to spend a week on without moving every night.

Getting between them

Island hopping is the part that catches people out. The ferry system guide covers how the routes and bookings actually work, which is what determines whether an itinerary is realistic.

Planning the trip

Start with the complete Greece guide, then best places to visit to narrow the islands down. If you are staying longer, the nomad guide covers visas, costs and where to base yourself.
