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

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.
- Crete — with things to do, which part of the island to stay on, and Chania in depth.
- Rhodes — plus Lindos and a day trip to Symi.

Planning the trip
