Greece

Ancient temples, turquoise water, and white-washed island villages — everything you need to plan your trip to Greece.

Greek islands

Our Guide to Greece

  1. Flair

    Welcoming, sunny, and steeped in history.

  2. Best time to visit

    May to June or September to October — you get great weather without the peak-summer heat and crowds.

  3. Trip length

    One to two weeks — island hopping seriously eats up time, so don't try to rush it.

  4. Currency

    Euro — bring cash for small tavernas on the islands, as many don't accept cards.

  5. Tipping

    5–10% is genuinely appreciated at tavernas.

  6. Getting around

    Ferries between the islands; rent a car on the mainland to get the most out of it.
