Greece Travel Guide
Greece's islands each have a distinct character — Santorini's caldera views and Mykonos's nightlife are both technically "Greek islands" but deliver very different trips. Ferries and short domestic flights connect the islands to Athens, the usual gateway.
Best time to visit
Late May to early June, or September to October, avoid July and August's peak heat, prices, and crowds.

Athens
Greece
The Acropolis rises directly over the modern city, with the Parthenon visible from rooftop bars and narrow Plaka lanes alike — Athens rewards two or three days of its own before continuing on to the islands.

Santorini
Greece
Whitewashed villages cling to volcanic cliffs above the Aegean Sea, with every alley in Oia framing another view built for sunset. Beyond the postcard shots, the island hides black-sand beaches, ancient ruins, and some of Greece's best wineries.
