The Rack Railway journey was excellent
This trip had two guides, Katya for the first week through Delphi, Olympia, et. al., Peter guided in the second week through Naxos and Santorini and was spectacular....
Well organised, good standard of hotels.
Impossible to choose just a single highlight, but Sapfo was extraordinarily good.

ALL of the guides were truly amazing. From the beginning you were very responsive to our desires, and everything you promised was delivered.
Ioannis.quickly arranged a custom tour for us in Crete. We really enjoyed it. Hiking in Naxos and lunching in Naxos and Crete in out of the way family tavernas were the best memories. Very well planned and executed making all aspects of trip very comfortable and memorable for us.
Where to go in Greece
Greece: Close to Our Hearts
Our Greek team consists of experienced locals who have traveled extensively across Greece and have a genuine love for the country, its traditions, history, and people. We believe in encouraging sustainable travel and promoting more authentic itineraries. Mykonos and Santorini are very much worth seeing, but we'd love to show you Greece's other sides.
We are dedicated to offering a lesser-known experience to our guests. This is why we’ve also highlighted some carefully curated off-the-beaten-path tours. A perfect Greece trip can be a beautiful combination of both worlds, the world-famous and the undiscovered. Greece is a year-round tourist destination. Whether you're there to relax, swim, ski, eat, explore the history and cultural heritage, or celebrate your love, Greece has endless offerings.
Journey Through The Centuries
The ancient Greeks contributed significantly to philosophy, medicine, mathematics, science, astronomy, architecture, and all forms of art. These predominant influences continue to shape our lives. Greek artists created some of the ancient world's most spectacular architectural works, creating styles common today. Fittingly, Greece boasts a rich collection of some of the world’s most famous UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
A trip to Greece entails an array of worldly experiences. Follow in the footsteps of the ancient forefathers, and climb up to the Acropolis of Athens , parts of which date back 5,500 years. Find out if the center of the world did actually exist here in Greece. Visit the ancient oracle of Delphi and discover the mysteries and tales revolving around this important archaeological and mystical site. Delve deeper into the fascinating realities of the Minoans, an advanced civilization doomed by the eruption of what became Santorini , by visiting Akrotiri, Greece's own Pompeii. Round up your experience by visiting Crete , their homeland, where these technologically advanced seafarers constructed remarkable palaces, especially at Knossos.
If the tales of legendary Alexander the Great spark your curiosity, then we invite you to follow in his footsteps and explore the north of Greece. Journey from Thessaloniki - named after Alexander’s half-sister Nike (victory) to Pella where he first set out on his world-changing campaign, to Vergina, home to royal tombs, including his father's. Greece is equally famed for its religious landmarks, many of which dot the country’s multifaceted landscape. Witness the magical soaring limestone pinnacles of Meteora , home to some of the world's most famous, and scenic, monasteries.
Over the course of centuries, Greece’s history has been shaped by numerous conquests and defeats. As a result, many historical characters have left their mark on the country’s cultural identity. One of these historical figures is Ali Pasha, a controversial Ottoman ruler whose name often appears in the stories of Epirus. In the capital of the region, Ioannina , his beheaded body was laid to rest (his head was sent to the Sultan of Constantinople, after a failed rebellion). Several landmarks in the coastal town of Parga also carry his name.
See The Best Islands
Greece is home to 6,000 islands. Even if you just focused on the 227 that are inhabited, you would still need more than a lifetime to explore Greece's archipelagos. Choosing the right island is a tricky task. This is why we've hand-picked a selection of our favorites to include in our Greek vacation packages. Naturally Santorini, the mecca of romance, with its postcard-perfect sunset views and unique wineries, and jet-set Mykonos , famous for its party beaches and glamorous nightlife, make the list. But we know that you simply cannot resist a quintessential Greek experience.
The Iconic Rocky Cyclades
The Cyclades islands (Mykonos, Santorini, Naxos, Paros, and more) are known for their rocky, barren landscapes and perfect whitewashed cubic houses with colorful doors and shutters. This architectural style has inspired artists, designers, and photographers across the globe. The largest of the Cyclades islands, Naxos offers laid-back vibes, picturesque traditional mountain villages, pristine beaches, and fantastic cuisine. It is also a perfect base for visits to nearby islands. One such neighbor, Paros , offers a vibrant nightlife, yet is more affordable than Mykonos. Paros also boasts a selection of fun-packed activities for the whole family. We highly recommend experiencing the surrounding islets and coves on a full-day sailing trip. The Aegean Sea's refreshing turquoise waters and raw natural beauty guarantee a rewarding experience.
Verdant Ionian Corfu
In contrast to the stark Cyclades, the Ionian islands are blessed with a luscious green landscape, with hilltops covered by pines and olive tree groves. The architectural style on these islands is notably inspiring. Grand mansions, royal palaces, and Venetian fortresses are just a few of Corfu’s highlights. This Ionian jewel is also wonderful to experience during Greek Orthodox Easter. The local customs of the Corfiot Easter are unlike anywhere else.
Diverse and Vibrant Crete
Wild, beautiful, and authentic Crete is almost a country in its own right! Greece's largest island, this place deserves at least a week. The charming Old Town of Chania , with its cobblestone streets and gorgeous architecture, is a popular travel destination. We urge you to explore eastern Crete too, especially the towns of Agios Nikolaos and Heraklion . The island is characterized by spectacular landscape, with breathtaking beaches, gorges and plateaus, traditional small villages, and imposing historical monuments. Escape the crowds and find your own little paradise in this unpretentious corner of Crete.

Frequently Asked Questions about travel to Greece
Greece is an all-year-round destination, depending on your interests the country offers an array of activities and experiences. For example, if you are visiting Athens or Thessaloniki, you can pretty much come at any time of year. Over the years Athens has gained popularity as a winter destination too, especially during the Christmas holidays. Greece enjoys mild winters and approximately 300 days of sunshine. It is also less crowded than during the summer, which means you can enjoy the Acropolis and museums without the queues. Winter is also a great time to visit destinations like Meteora, Delphi, and Ioannina.
The hotels and businesses on the islands usually start their operation around Greek Orthodox Easter, this varies from year to year depending on whether Easter falls early April or towards the end of the month. Islands like Santorini have a longer tourism season and some businesses remain open until December, but not all.
If you wish to enjoy the warm weather, swim in the sea, and indulge in outdoor dining, the best months to do so are from June to early October. But again this can change as warm weather in Greece can stretch until early November. If sightseeing is what interests you the most, March to November is a great time. July and August are the peak and most expensive months to visit Greece. September is a wonderful month to visit the Greek islands, there are fewer crowds and the weather is still hot. Shoulder season (April, May, October, and November) is generally more affordable when it comes to booking hotels.

Fit for the gods
From the coasts of the Mediterranean to the top of Mount Olympus, Greece is a place grand enough for mythical gods and friendly enough for travelers alike. Uncover its ancient ruins and relics and take in an iconic landscape of whitewashed homes. This is only the beginning of the endless wonders you’ll find when you first set foot on Greek soil.
Destination Must-See's
This is the most spectacular destination in the Mediterranean and holds the most prehistoric settlement in the region. The ancient town of Akrotiri was once destroyed and consequently preserved by a volcanic eruption around 1450 B.C. The excavation site of this city is known as the “Minoan Pompeii.” But perhaps the island’s greatest draws are its vineyards, whitewashed chapels, volcanic cliffs, and famous wines of Santorini.
Known as the “whitewashed jewel of the Cyclades islands” or the “Island of the Winds,” it is said that the island was formed from the petrified bodies of giants killed by Hercules. It also gets its name from the grandson of Apollo - “Mykonos.” In the island’s capital town you will find the church, town hall, castle, the Archaeological, Folklore, and Maritime Museums, and a shopper’s paradise – Matoyianni Street.
Athens is the capital city of Greece and the historical capital of Europe. It is home to many celebrated ancient monuments including the imposing Acropolis, the ruins of the Temple of Zeus, the Royal Palace, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Olympic Stadium, and Hadrian’s Gate – the symbolic entrance to the city. It also has the charming Plaka neighborhood which has been without interruption since antiquity.
One of the most well-known tourist destinations in Greece, Olympia is located in the western Peloponnese, known as the “Valley of the Gods.” Surrounded by beautiful scenery from the Arcadian Mountains, it is home of the first Olympic Games that were held in 776 B.C. You can walk through the ruins of the ancient Olympic stadium, witness amazing sculptures at the museum, or even attend one of the many festivals held throughout the year.
Destination Must-Do's
Meteora Monastery:
Over 600 years ago Byzantine monks chose to build their monastic community atop limestone rock “towers” that extend nearly 900 feet into the air, making them virtually inaccessible. It is one of the greatest monuments in the world, and is the most important monastic center in Greece. You can climb these rocks and travel the paths hidden behind the massive rocks.
Delphi ruins:
Delphi was regarded as the center of the world and had the most famous oracle of ancient Greece. The site includes two sanctuaries dedicated to Apollo and Athena, and other buildings that were mostly intended for sports. The earliest finds in Delphi date back to 4000 B.C. from the Korykeion Andron, a cave where the first rituals took place. The ruins are filled with an enormous amount of history and beauty.
Greek Olive Farm:
Olives and olive oil are staples of the Mediterranean diet, and Greece is a major grower and producer of olive products. A visit to a Greek olive farm can provide a taste of Greek culture and serve as a window into everyday life in the country. Tours, tastings, meals, and cooking classes hosted at olive farms are all wonderful options on the table when venturing into Greece’s countryside.
Travel back in time with a visit to Athens’s old city – the Plaka. The hilly cobblestone streets are lined with historic buildings housing small shops, sidewalk cafes and family-owned restaurants making this neighborhood Athens’ crowned jewel. The neighborhood comes alive at night. The alleyways fill with music and dancing and locals and visitors alike dine on their favorite traditional dishes.
Expert Advice
Getting around is easier than you would expect. Greeks can speak English enough to assist travelers, and street signs are in both Greek and English.
Much of your trip may focus on the ancient past yet I suggest you also take time to explore the vibrant traditions that still live in today’s Greek culture.
Greece is a welcoming destination year-round. Consider visiting October through May to beat the summer bustle, and with Greece’s 250+ days of sunshine in an average year, don’t forget your sunglasses.

” We were very happy with the hotel choices made for us. We came away knowing the basics of Peloponnese history, we enjoyed the antiquities, the food, and a pleasant holiday experience as a bonus.. “
Barry Roberson
“It was unforgettable. We appreciate Angela’s advice on when to visit Greece. Thanks to her opinion we should come mid April, we saw an amazing spread of wild flowers and peach blossom throughout the mountains and sites.”
Elizabeth Jones
” It was fantastic! Nikos our driver was intelligent, informative and passionate about Greece in general and the Peloponnes in particular. He was also an extremely good driver and genuinely nice guy – essential as nearly each day’s trip involved driving over mountains! Angela from the operator was also great – she responded helpfully and professionally to any requests and took us on the hike in the mountains (and made a local cheese savoury picnic lunch) which was a memorable highlight.. “

” It was an amazing trip. The only way to see the Peloponnese. Let someone else do the driving and just set back, relax and enjoy. “

What is the best tour company for Greece?
It’s not necessary to use a travel agency or tour company for planning travel in Greece. You’ll pay more and get a worse selection of hotels. The best way to book Greek ferries , hotels, flights, tours, and rental cars is through specialized websites that will find the best deals and most options. And regardless of how you book, please avoid doing a cruise to Santorini or Mykonos as they are an awful way to experience the magic of the incredible Greek islands . But if you still decide to use a travel company then the following list of travel agencies are good, reliable, and trustworthy.

Travel Agencies in Athens
Fantasy Travel is located in Athens, Greece and is a reliable company for booking packages, hotels, ferries, flights, and tours. (But once again, this is relatively easy to do on your own.)
Greece Travel Agent in the UK
Ionian & Aegean can arrange holiday vacations for all United Kingdom departures. Fantasy Travel in Athens is also a good choice for travelers from Britain, including London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Bristol, Edinburgh, and Glasgow.
Thomas Cook Alternatives
With the collapse of Thomas Cook Holidays many hotels and resorts in Greece are scrambling to fill rooms. There’s never been a better time to get great deals online (and avoid the large package and all-inclusive travel companies).
Do I need a travel agent to book my vacation to Greece?
Absolutely not. There is so much good online information for Greece and the Greek Islands that it’s easy to arrange a Greek vacation on your own. Travel agencies promote the hotels and tours that they’ve arranged special deals with. If you book through a travel agent you’ll often have a small selection of resorts to choose from – sometimes these are still very good but it’s much better to choose based on your interests and not be limited by the previous arrangements the agency has made.
But isn’t it a lot of work to figure out a Greece holiday?
I guess if you want to make it hard, you can make it hard. But it certainly doesn’t have to be. Pretty easy actually.
So, how do I book a vacation to Greece by myself? Where do I start?
I’ve written a lot about travel in Greece – start there. On almost every page you’ll find a comments section where you can ask me questions about traveling in Greece. Don’t be shy! I’ve never had a question that I thought was stupid or silly. (OK, maybe a few stupid ones, but I’m pretty open-minded.)
What are the best islands for a first-time visitor to Greece?
Santorini is an absolute must for all first-timers. It’s the most beautiful island in Greece – and maybe the whole world. Mykonos is a great island if you like beaches and nightlife. Naxos is perfect if you like beaches, culture, and a slower pace. Paros is somewhere in the middle – good beaches, trendy restaurants, and bars, but no big club parties. Crete is a wonderful island loaded with beaches, history, culture, and wonderful towns but it’s quite a bit bigger than the other islands I mentioned so go here if you have more than a week to explore it. There are regular ferries between all of these islands (from April to October) and island hopping is one of the most fun things you’ll ever do.
What websites should I use for booking my trip to Greece?
Kayak.com – Easy flight search. Booking.com – Huge selection of Greece hotels and the best prices. FerryHopper.com – The best site for booking Greece ferries. RentalCars.com – Renting a car in Greece.
When is the best time to visit Greece?
For sightseeing April, May, October, and November are great. For swimming, suntanning, partying, island hopping, and sightseeing then June, July, August, and September are best. From late November until March most Greek islands go into hibernation and have very little open. Crete, Santorini, Rhodes, Syros, and Corfu are the exceptions. For certain, they are much quieter during the winter but they will always have enough open to have a pleasant visit. Crete, in particular, has a large year-round population and plenty of activity in the winter. Whenever you visit and however you book it, I do not recommend doing a cruise to Santorini and the Greek islands.

About Santorini Dave
Hi Dave, it’s great that you take such time to answer Greece travel questions. So appreciated. My husband and I will be traveling to Greece for two weeks from late Sept into Oct. We are traveling with another couple who will have to end the vacation early(8 nights vs our 13 nights). I have planned our time as follows – Fly into Athens from Newark NJ spend 2 nights in Athens, ferry to Mykonos for 3 nights from there ferry to Santorini for 3 Nights. After Santorini our friends will fly back to Athens to catch the return home. My husband and I will ferry from Santorini to Crete for 4 nights then fly back to Athens for the return home. Does this itinerary make sense from a time standpoint? We want to avoid long ferry rides (6 hours +). Is 2 nights enough in Athens? Our friends wanted to do an extra day in Athens, but since they have to end the trip early, I don’t think it’s a good idea. Thanks so much for the help.
That sounds like a great itinerary. Two nights in Athens is enough time for most people but do plan for a busy visit to try to pack in the highlights.
When Island hopping, how do I plan on how much time/days to spend on each Island. This is my first time coming. My family is from Greece. I know I fly into Athens and need to book a hotel there. Do I book Hotel for each Island we go to?
Yes, book hotels for each island you plan to visit. Spend at minimum two nights on each island you visit – 3 or 4 nights is usually best. Be sure there are ferries running on the day you plan to travel between your current and next island.
Hi Dave, We’re planning 3 – 5 weeks in Greece in May, 2022. Hope you can answer a few questions. We’d like a relaxed pace, are thinking to do the minimum time in Athens, then more relaxed pace on Santorini, Naxos, and/or Milos & Crete. We’re don’t need time to hang out on any beaches but will visit beaches to sightsee and swim.
What’s the minimum time we should spend in Athens?
Does 3 – 5 weeks give us enough time to give the other destinations a relaxed visit? Or should we prune one stop?
We live near the beach in Honolulu, so we’re looking for some contrasting mountain time on this trip as well; can we get this in say, Naxos, or should we tack on another country? We’d like to go to Croatia but it doesn’t have to be on this trip.
We’re most likely to tack on a couple days on each end of the trip in London to visit family as well as reduce the number of connections on the long flight between Honolulu. Should we fly between Crete and Santorini? I’m assuming both have flights to London and possibly Dubrovnik?
Thanks for your advice, Scott
3 to 5 weeks will give you a good amount of time to explore Athens and those islands. Obviously, more is better. I’d fly London to Crete, ferry to Santorini, ferry to Milos, ferry to Naxos, ferry to Athens. Spend at least 3 nights in Athens. More if you want to include short trips to Nafplio, Delphi, or the Meteora (all highly recommended).
Hi Dave, So much great information! We are trying to book a honeymoon for the Greek islands for June / July 2022. We had a travel agent make an itinerary and I tried to price it myself for August 2021 since the calendars for these places/travel don’t stretch to July 2022 yet. His price came in roughly 25% higher. He said that everything is expected to just be more expensive next summer as a opposed to this summer because of lifted restrictions. I have 2 questions. 1) is there an expected big price increase from 2021 to 2022? 2) how much markup approximately do you think travel agents charge? Thanks for your help! Andres Hartman
1. Prices have actually been surprisingly high this year in Greece due (I think) to the unpredictable nature of booking and limited supply. 2. I have no idea what travel agents mark up the price, but 25% does not seem unreasonable.
Hello. I’m considering either Fantasy Travel or True Trips for an upcoming 3 week trip around the Greek islands. Do you have any comments on True Trips? Thanks.
I’ve heard different reviews of True Trips but have not had any direct experience with them. Like all vacation planning for Greece I recommend DIY. You’ll get the best trip and best prices by booking hotels, tours, and ferries yourself.
We are traveling to Athens at the end of July and have 2 weeks. We are flying direct into Athena and then would like to head to the islands. We love amazing beaches and are so drawn to the architecture of Santorini but also are more interested in the quieter side of the islands. We need to fly from an island to Rome as Rome is where we catch our flight home to the US. We’d like to spend 2 nights in Italy. Can you recommend a starting point of an island from Athens, then possibly another island, the probably ending in Santorini for two nights? Do you think Santorini is a good place to fly from to Rome or would you recommend another island?
Thank you so much! Jen
Yes, Santorini is a great island to catch flights to Italy (Mykonos and Crete are also good). There are many great islands between Athens and Santorini: Naxos, Paros, Mykonos, Milos are all wonderful. Sifnos, Serifos, or Folegandros if you want something a little quieter.
Do you know anything about Hellenic Holiday Tours in NYC? He gave me a price which seems to be a lot higher than if I booked everything myself.
How much does a travel agent typically make for a 11 day trip? How much are the ferries approximately and vehicle transfers? Obviously a travel agent deserves to make money for their work. Is this a trustworthy agency? He also included a walking tour in Athens, a cataraman dinner cruise, 2 domestic flights, and ferry rides and all vehicle transfers.
I do not recommend people use a travel agency to book a Greek vacation. Obviously, I’d need all the details to compare your holiday package to a DIY vacation, so I can’t comment directly, but in general you will get better rates and (just as important) better quality tours and hotels by booking everything separately.
We’re travelling with a big group next summer – mostly couples but there are 2 families – One with 2 kids (7 & 9), one with 3 kids (ages 4,6,8). Any recommendations of a Santorini hotels that can accomodate 2 family rooms with caldera views?
The villas at Aria Suites are absolutely wonderful and can accommodate a range of different-sized groups. (The suites are also great but don’t have the same caldera views.)
Can you recommend a Cave house for 4 in Santorini?
The villas at Aria Suites in Fira are wonderful. Cave houses with private jacuzzi. Great location steps from restaurants, shopping, and nightlife.
Do ferries run in March? I’m having a hard time finding the schedule for March from Athens to Crete, Mykonos, and Santorini?
Yes, ferries will run from Athens to all of those 3 islands but there might not be ferries between those 3 islands – those ferries start in March but the exact date differs every year and could be the 2nd half of the month.
Hi Dave, We’re looking for a place to stay on Santorini in May. There are 5 of us in our family, all adults. We’d like a nice view, 2 bath, 3 BR, $300-$500 per night. Any suggestions?
Nothing comes to mind in that range. 3 bedrooms are rare. 3 bedrooms with view are rarer still. And 3 bedrooms with view in that price range are non-existant. Sorry.
Hi Santorini Dave, We are planning to stay in Chania on our trip to Crete. Is that airport easy to get in and out of, with many flights available? Or better to use the Heraklion airport? Thanks for your continued assistance. You’re the best!
You’ll find more flights to and from Heraklion but Chania has a better more comfortable airport.
Hi Dave, We live in Boston and are planning a trip to Santorini and Crete May 15-25. Is there a best airline to travel? Should we fly into Athens then book another airline to the islands? Or fly direct? Best to fly into Santorini and then go to Crete, or vice versa? Which island has the most accessible airport? Appreciate any guidance. Love your site!
There are no direct flights from Boston to the Greek islands. You can either fly direct to Athens then fly (or ferry) to Santorini, ferry to Crete, then fly back to Athens. Or fly through a western Europe hub like Paris, London, Rome, or Amsterdam, then fly to Santorini (skipping Athens), ferry to Crete, then fly back to western Europe. The only difference between doing Santorini or Crete first is the timing of the ferries. Crete to Santorini ferries leave early in the morning. Santorini to Crete ferries go in the late afternoon. Otherwise there’s no difference.
Hi Dave, incredible site, glad I stumbled upon it. 4 of us (wife, 2 boys, 12 and 10) are starting the beginning stages of planning a trip to Greece next year, late June/early July. We thought about using a travel agent, but after reading your site, feel we can do it on our own. We’re looking to do 10 days, coming from DC. 1) The travel agent suggested Athens, Patmos, and Rhodes. Seems to be a lot of traveling in there between spots and I hadn’t really heard about Patmos. Any opinion on Patmos? 2) Our thought is Athens, Santorini, Naxos, and maybe Crete. Wondering if that is too much though. 1 day in Athens, 2 in Santorini, 2 in Naxos, 3 in Crete and 1 in Athens. That leaves 1 day, wondering if we need that extra one in Athens to view the Acropolis. Wondering if we should eliminate Crete as much as it pains me. 3) Our priorities our exploring the Greek Mythology, food, History tours (Ruins, Castles, Gods, and Olympics), cooking classes, volcanoes, snorkeling, boat ride, donkey tour, olive oil tour. Are the islands listed above good for these activities?
1. Patmos is rich with Christian history (primarily St John) and is a great island but it wouldn’t be my first (or second choice) for first-time visitors to Greece. And yes, that itinerary has a lot of travel – Rhodes is 6 hours away by ferry, Athens is 7 hours, and those ferries do not run every day. There’s no airport on Patmos. 2. With only 10 days, Athens is deserving of 1 day but no more. Santorini and Naxos would be what I would recommend but Knossos on Crete is a wonderful introduction to Greek myth (be sure to get a guide at the entrance gates), so it would be tough to drop Crete. No clear answer here. Try to fly one way to save time – e.g. ferry to Naxos, ferry to Santorini, ferry to Crete, then fly Heraklion back to Athens. Or even better you can fly from Santorini or Heraklion back to western Europe and not have to return to Athens at all – that will save you even more time. 3. Yes, those 3 islands are a perfect mix for your interests.
I’m planning a Greece honeymoon in September. We’re coming from the east coast of the USA. The plan is to fly into Mykonos for several nights there, then ferry to Naxos for several nights, then ferry to Santorini for 4-5 nights.
How easy it to get on and off the ferries with luggage? Since we’ll be traveling for a week and a half we’ll probably have 3-4 suitcases. And do Greek ferries charge per carry on item like airlines?
Also, thank you so much for dedicating your time and making this such an informative site. It’s very much appreciated.
There are no limits to how many bags you can take on a Greek ferry. (OK, technically, there probably are some restrictions but for practical purposes you can have as many bags as you want.) And there’s no charge for bags in any way. But you do need to be able to carry them on and off in one shot, so don’t plan on returning to grab that 3rd suitcase. It is a little tricky getting on and off with luggage (rollers don’t work on the grated ferry floor) but you don’t/shouldn’t take large bags upstairs. There’s storage on the entry level (with the cars) for all large baggage.
I’m in Greece from 18 November to 26 November. I have already booked myself at Elite Luxury Suites from 23 to 26 at Oia. Wonder if it’s the best choice that I have made!!??
Can you help planning the other days that I am left with? Some of the queries I had are: 1. Is it worth taking a ferry to Santorini one way and flying back? Or should I stick to flying both ways? 2. Would Paros be worth visiting during this time? If yes, how many days should I plan there and where can I stay while keeping in budget? 3. Is Hydra worth visiting? 4. Any day trip recommendations from either Athens or Santorini? 5. Must see historical sites in Athens? Do not wish to spend a lot of time in Athens. 6. Any must do in Greece during this time that I am missing? 7. Any other island that is worth considering given the duration and time of the year? I am more interested in good food and romantic/quiet time. I really wanted to visit Mykonos for it’s beauty of town but I don’t think it’s a good idea in November.
I hope that’s not too many questions for a single post!
1. With only 3 days there I would fly both ways. 2. Paros or Naxos are both good in November (though will be quiet). 2 nights there would be good. Or 3. 3. Yes, Hydra is great. But also quiet in November. 4. Nafplio is one of the best day trips from Athens. With only 2 full days on Santorini, no time for a day trip. 5. Read: Best Things To Do in Athens . (Do a food tour if you have time.) 6. Specific to late November, no. 7. Athens, Santorini, and Naxos or Paros will keep you plenty busy. No time for anywhere else (beyond one day trip to either Hydra or Nafplio).
This is great information. Could you tell me anything about Xenones Filotera? I am traveling with 5 in my family and through this looked nice but didn’t see any comments or information about it on your page. Martha
Xenones Filotera is a very nice place with incredible caldera views. The defining feature (for deciding whether to stay there) is the location. You’re not in any town but a 20 minute walk from Imerovigli and an hour from Oia (in the opposite direction). Few restaurants are within a quick walk (though the brand new Cavo Tagoo is next door and they have a great bar/restaurant). There is a bus stop (with buses going to both Fira and Oia) about 2 minutes from the hotel.
Do you know what is the best/most reasonably priced way to travel from Chicago to Santorini? We plan to visit in June. Currently, flights are not available, but want a place to start when they do become available. Thank you!
Use kayak.com to search for the cheapest flights to one of the major hubs in western Europe: London, Paris, Rome, Frankfurt, or Amsterdam. Then search for a cheap flight on a European budget airline (e.g. Ryanair, Easy Jet, Transavia, Volotea) to Santorini. If you want to visit more than one island or city in Greece then be sure to fly in and out of different airports so you don’t have to double back – e.g. fly Rome to Santorini, ferry to Mykonos, fly Mykonos to Rome.
Just wondering what you think of Dream Island Hotel? Is it close to the city centre of Fira? Is it a good hotel to stay at? We’ll be in Santorini in August. Leigh
A good value hotel with a very nice pool area and a 5 minute walk to Fira’s main square and caldera views. The views from the hotel are to the east (not the caldera).
We will be traveling with a large family group to Mykonos. We need 5-6 bedrooms and think we need to be able to walk to restaurants and bars as half the group are boys in 20s but would also like to be close to beaches. A villa would be great but are there any that are walking (really close to town) near beaches or pools? Your site very helpful but didn’t see much on villas or large group accommodations.
Nothing comes to mind right in Mykonos Town. A good compromise would be getting a couple of family rooms at Acrogiali Hotel on Platys Gialos Beach (several beach bars within walking distance and a short bus ride to nightlife of Mykonos Town).
I’d like to visit Greece in September (probably Athens, Santorini, and Mykonos). When should I book my flight and reserve my hotels? Is it getting too late to find good hotels?
Too late to book for September? No. Should you get looking for flights and start booking hotels? Yes. The earlier you book the better, but you still have plenty of time. The best hotels on Santorini can get fully booked 6 to 8 months in advance but there’ll often be something available right up to the last minute. If a caldera view is important then try to book a hotel at least 4 months in advance.

“Fly Me To The Moon" was terrific! I enjoyed a personalized tour that allowed for a relaxing, informative visit. Elena was a joy to be around, and she tailored my visit perfectly. I would highly recommend "Fly Me To The Moon" for visitors looking for personalized touring of Greece by someone who really knows Greece!!” Laura Stavridis, USA
“Elena's service was so far above and beyond anything we could have hoped for - we felt so taken care of, she was so accessible at any time of day or night and so conscientious, called to double check on us at every location and activity to ensure smooth sailing and that we had everything we needed. we are so thankful and feel so lucky to have met her and ABSOLUTELY we will be booking many future trips with her as will our family and friends!!!!!!”

“So this beautiful week is finished. It has been a pleasant experience to go in Greece for the first time. (with you) Everything was perfectly organized. Thank you Elena!. “
Clisthen & Sophie Guillot, France
“FLY ME TO THE MOON proved an impeccable host for our business guests who visited Athens in June 2014. From the start, the company took a personal interest in meeting our guests' needs and desires. They put together a very interesting program of visits for them, both in Athens and its vicinity that was original and gracefully executed. All in all, FLY ME TO THE MOON managed to convey the "spirit of Greece" while taking care of the smallest detail. This combination of professionalism and inspiration makes the company unique and valuable to every demanding visitor to Greece.”
The Constantine G. Karamanlis Foundation, Athens - Dimitris Keridis
“Elena came to my rescue when I needed to do some major last-minute changes to our summer travels. She figured out the best way to get us from and to some remote locations but most of all quickly understood that the trip we planned wasn’t right for us and helped us dramatically re-configure ALL of the trip. What we ended up with was much more our style, much more real and full of wonderful people, food and places. She understood what we wanted and needed from our trip and had ideas at her fingertips that were perfect solutions.
Elena has a big heart, a sense of humor and the insight to understand the needs of her clients. Combine that with her encyclopedic knowledge of Greece and you have a not just a travel planner and concierge but a friend who’s there for you when you need help. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and look forward to exploring more of what Greece has to offer.”

“I was introduced to this small Greek island in the Cyclades by Elena Papanicolaou, a self-styled travel designer who quit a busy corporate life to set up a small agency delivering bespoke trips within Greece. Exclusive private houses, yachts, cooks, cars, hotels, guides – you name it, she can organize it, tailoring elaborate itineraries for those who want the undeliverable delivered or who want the pain of organization extinguished from their holidays.”
Pamela Goodman 03-18TravelSerifos4 , House & Garden UK

Mary Lussiana, FT – How to spend it, UK
We had the trip of a lifetime and it was surely made that much more special by your coordination and deep knowledge of Greece. Your selections on our behalf were excellent.We would not have changed a thing and we are so impressed by the attention we continued to receive each day of our trip. When we realized you were monitoring in the background this gave us even more comfort knowing that if anything went haywire that you would step in to assist if needed. Frank Wright family
Thank you for an absolutely magical holiday in Greece! Your good advice regarding the itinerary ensured that we were able to truly make the most of our trip. My girls received a wonderful introduction to the culture, history, food and landscape of your beautiful country. It truly was perfect! Mitra Morgan
I don’t know how I can thank you for all you have done to give Oskar and me a near perfect visit to Greece. We have felt cared for in the most comforting ways. Our hotels have been extraordinary. Your recommendations spot on. The restaurants we tried delicious. We adored Hydra and as you said being there for the Miaoulia Festival was a delight. I just want you to know how lucky I am that you are in my life and how much I appreciate your extraordinary care and handling. Laurie Eustis
Services provided by FMTTM: WONDERFUL. They will never be equaled. Even before we set a toe in Greece, thanks to our voluminous exchanges with Elena, we knew we were in excellent hands and that all would go smoothly. And with Elena and Roger on What'sApp constantly--not that anything ever went wrong--your great service continued throughout our trip. We really appreciated the fact that we were constantly monitored and that nothing important could go wrong. Overall trip experience: Extraordinary. Fantastic. Could not possibly have been better. We will be very good ambassadors for FMTTM and for Greece. Roger and Brenda September, 2021

There are a lot of great ways to travel in Greece. You can take domestic flights or even go on a road trip. However, nothing beats Greek cruises that travel up and down the Aegean Sea all year-long. Cruises are fantastic for sight-seeing as well as outdoors activities.
If you are a first timer in Greece then Athens could be a bit too overwhelming for you. We suggest starting at either Mykonos or Santorini. Mykonos has excellent night-life that will keep you busy and Santorini’s wineries and safari tours are world-famous.
Greece has a lot of variety in their cities and each city has something unique to offer. Athens has its own sense of culture and tourism, Crete is an island paradise, Santorini is known for its architecture and wineries and Mykonos will give you a luxurious nightlife.
Greece is a country that is rich in history, mythology, culture and natural beauty. A visit to Acropolis or Delphi will shroud you in myths and legends while places like Mykonos and Santorini are excellent for an authentic cultural experience.

Still need tickets to the 2024 Grand Prix of Long Beach? Here's how much they cost
Apr. 11—The Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach is almost here — so if you haven't bought tickets yet, you better do so soon.
The Grand Prix, which organizers have dubbed "Long Beach's 200-mph beach party," is expected to attract more the 180,000 people during its three-day run, from Friday to Sunday, April 19-21.
And whether you're thrifty or extravagant, the Grand Prix of Long Beach has a ticket package for you.
The various packages in fact, run from as little as $40 — all the way up to $1,275.
Below is a breakdown of available ticket packages and their cost. To buy tickets, go to gplb.com/tickets .
Related: Here's what's happening, and when, during the 2024 Grand Prix of Long Beach
General admission
General admission tickets come with unreserved seating on the first two days of the Grand Prix, but not during the Sunday finale. Tickets:
* Friday: $40.
* Saturday: $82.
* Sunday: $87.
* Three-day package: $120.
Reserved seating
The Sunday tickets for this package vary based on where your seats are, though children 12 and under get a discounted price. Tickets:
* Saturday: $90 for adults.
* Sunday: $98 or $114 for adults, and $72 or $86 for juniors, depending on the seats.
* Three-day package (no reserved seating on Friday): $131 or $185, and $102 or $144 for juniors, depending on the seats.
Paddock access
These packages provide access to the NTT IndyCar Series paddock. But they do not provide admission to the circuit, so you have to buy those tickets as well. Tickets:
* Friday, Saturday or Sunday: $32.
* Three-day package: $75.
Super Photo Ticket
This is the package for you if you want to take great photos of the racing.
The Super Photo Ticket includes three-day admission, paddock access, access to three special photo locations and limited access to the racing pit during practice and qualifying.
Minors aren't not allowed, however, and there are other conditions. For more information, go to gplb.com/super-photo .
This package costs $360.
Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. One Turn Club
With this package, you can hang out at the iconic restaurant during the races. Bubba Gump Shrimp, 87 Aquarium Way, has views of multiple turns, and will also have television screens broadcasting the action. The package also comes with free buffet breakfast and brunch.
This package costs $285 for Saturday and $300 for Sunday.
This club is hosted by the Committee of 300, a nonprofit that has worked to benefit the community for more than four decades.
The club has a live television feed of the circuit, a dance floor, free breakfast and lunch, and other amenities.
This package, like the Bubba Gump Shrimp one, is an add-on, so you must first buy a reserved ticket. Tickets:
* Saturday: $210.
* Sunday: $240.
* Three-day: $430.
Hospitality clubs
There are three clubs from which to choose: Vista, Seaside and Pit Lane.
The Vista Club is on the 17th floor of the Hyatt Regency Hotel and offers a view of the pits, the oceanfront straightaway, and turns 1 to 6, as well as the harbor and Long Beach skyline.
The Seaside Club is on the Seaside Way back straight and is usually the first to sell out, according to the Grand Prix Association of Long Beach website.
The Pit Lane Club is the most-exclusive, putting you right above the pit and the straightaway. It also comes with limited pit access.
While the complimentary meals vary at each club, all three offer a full bar with complimentary beer, wine and soft drinks on Saturday and Sunday.
But you can't buy these tickets the way you do the others. Instead, you must fill out an order form, which is available at gplb.com/vip-club-packages . Tickets:
* Vista Club: $450 for Friday/Saturday only; $525 for Sunday only and $850 for all three days.
* Seaside Club (all three days): $850.
* Pit Lane Club (all three days): $1,275.
Parking is at a premium during the Grand Prix of Long Beach. There are so many cars trying to get in and out of downtown Long Beach during the event, in fact, that you might find it easier to take public transportation — even if you live as far away as Pasadena.
But if you do drive, there are parking packages available:
* Shoreline parking: $20 a day or $50 for all three days.
* Pike parking: $60 for all three days.

Solar eclipse maps show 2024 totality path, peak times and how much of the eclipse people could see across the U.S.
By Aliza Chasan
Updated on: April 9, 2024 / 5:00 AM EDT / CBS News
A total solar eclipse crossed North America Monday with parts of 15 U.S. states within the path of totality. Maps show where and when astronomy fans could see the big event as skies darkened in the middle of the day Monday, April 8.
The total eclipse first appeared along Mexico's Pacific Coast at around 11:07 a.m. PDT, then traveled across a swath of the U.S., from Texas to Maine, and into Canada.
About 31.6 million people live in the path of totality , the area where the moon fully blocked out the sun , according to NASA. The path ranged between 108 and 122 miles wide. An additional 150 million people live within 200 miles of the path of totality.
Solar eclipse path of totality map for 2024
The total solar eclipse started over the Pacific Ocean, and the first location in continental North America that experienced totality was Mexico's Pacific Coast, around 11:07 a.m. PDT, according to NASA. From there, the path continued into Texas, crossing more than a dozen states before the eclipse enters Canada in southern Ontario. The eclipse exited continental North America at around 5:16 p.m. NDT from Newfoundland, Canada.
The path of totality included portions of the following states:
- Pennsylvania
- New Hampshire
Small parts of Tennessee and Michigan also experienced the total solar eclipse.
Several major cities across the U.S. were included in the eclipse's path of totality, while many others saw a partial eclipse. These were some of the best major cities for eclipse viewing — though the weather was a factor :
- San Antonio, Texas (partially under the path)
- Austin, Texas
- Waco, Texas
- Dallas, Texas
- Little Rock, Arkansas
- Indianapolis, Indiana
- Dayton, Ohio
- Cleveland, Ohio
- Buffalo, New York
- Rochester, New York
- Syracuse, New York
- Burlington, Vermont
Map of when the solar eclipse reached totality across its path
The eclipse began in the U.S. as a partial eclipse beginning at 12:06 p.m. CDT near Eagle Pass, Texas, before progressing to totality by about 1:27 p.m. CDT and then moving along its path to the northeast over the following few hours.
NASA shared times for several cities in the path of totality across the U.S. People could have also checked their ZIP code on NASA's map to see when the eclipse was to reach them if they were on, or near, the path of totality — or if they saw a partial eclipse instead.
How much of the eclipse did people see if they live outside the totality path?
While the April 8 eclipse covered a wide swath of the U.S., outside the path of totality observers may have spotted a partial eclipse, where the moon covers some, but not all, of the sun, according to NASA. The closer they were to the path of totality, the larger the portion of the sun that was hidden.
NASA allowed viewers to input a ZIP code and see how much of the sun was to be covered in their locations.
Could there be cloud cover be during the solar eclipse?
Some areas along the path of totality had a higher likelihood of cloud cover that could interfere with viewing the eclipse. Here is a map showing the historical trends in cloud cover this time of year.
You could have checked the latest forecast for your location with our partners at The Weather Channel .
Where did the solar eclipse reach totality for the longest?
Eclipse viewers near Torreón, Mexico, got to experience totality for the longest. Totality there lasted 4 minutes, 28 seconds, according to NASA.
Most places along the centerline of the path of totality saw a totality duration of between 3.5 and 4 minutes, according to NASA. Some places in the U.S. came close to the maximum; Kerrville, Texas, had a totality duration of 4 minutes, 24 seconds.
What is the path of totality for the 2044 solar eclipse?
The next total solar eclipse that will be visible from the contiguous U.S. will be on Aug. 23, 2044.
Astronomy fans in the U.S. will have far fewer opportunities to see the 2044 eclipse they had on April 8. NASA has not yet made maps available for the 2044 eclipse but, according to The Planetary Society , the path of totality will only touch three states.
The 2024 eclipse will start in Greenland, pass over Canada and end as the sun sets in Montana, North Dakota and South Dakota, according to the Planetary Society.
