Im planning my tip to Greece now and I'd love to hear your experience about which airlines are better or worse. I find long trips super tiring so I want to make sure my experience is a good as possible. THanks
 
Great question!

In the past I have taken Lufthansa, Swiss Air and British Airways...out of these I have had the best personal experience flying to Greece using British airways.

Hope this helps!

We flew Turkish Air Line from Atlanta,GA to Istanbul then onto Athens. Its a long flight 11 hrs. Food was very good but seating is cramped, not good for the length of the flight. If the length of flight bothers you then I would suggest a stop over in Dublin, Ireland for a few days.

It all depends on where your flying from in terms of schedule but you can’t go wrong with Seiss, Lufthansa or British.

Flew from US to Germany on Lufthansa, then directly to Greek Island (Santorini). This was a + because the Santorini airport was a piece of cake.

Can do same to other Greek islands via Germany or The Netherlands

I’d like to fly nonstop and have done so in the past from Atlanta and Newark. If I can go again I will do that. I like KLM’s airport better than flying to Germany, Munich, to change planes to fly on to Greece. Munich has the most frightening escalator that goes up to the sky it’s so tall to get to the level where we need to catch our flight to Greece that I freak out! Normally, heights don’t bother me, but that one really makes me want to die!!! LOL!!! My heart stops every time I look up at it and it’s so high it almost seems like it’s going right up into the sky!!!!! Frankfort isn’t so bad. I’ll take the Netherlands any time in that respect! Or nonstop from Atlanta or Newark!?

I've heard great things about KLM as well! It would be so nice to fly direct
 
I used https://travelbusinessclass.com to book business class to Greece and saved a lot on a Swiss Air flight. Their team handled everything, and the comfort was superb. For a stress-free trip with great deals, that service is my go-to.

Ferry vs flying between islands, what’s better?

I’ve always been a ferry guy when it comes to Greece, something about pulling into a port and seeing the island come into view just feels right. But this trip is a little different because I’m traveling with someone who gets pretty motion sick, so now I’m seriously considering flying between islands instead.

Curious what you guys think, ferry vs flying, what’s actually better?

I know ferries are part of the whole island-hopping experience, and they’re usually more flexible, but I’ve also had a couple rough rides when the water wasn’t calm. On the flip side, flights seem quicker and smoother, but maybe more hassle overall.

If you’ve done both, what would you recommend, especially in a situation like this? Is flying the smarter move, or are ferries still worth it if you plan carefully?

A Greek Architect’s Guide to Choosing a Professional CT Limo Service

I’m originally from Greece and work as an architect, and due to a recent job rotation, I’ve relocated to Connecticut for corporate projects. Since I’m still getting familiar with the area, I’ve been researching reliable CT limo service options for business travel, airport transfers, and professional meetings. I’ve noticed there are several technical factors people often overlook, such as fleet maintenance standards, chauffeur training, proper licensing, insurance coverage, and real-time ride tracking, all of which seem important for safety and reliability. I came across Wood Black Car Service during my comparisons, which piqued my curiosity about how different companies manage their operations behind the scenes. For those who regularly use limousine services in Connecticut, what features or standards do you think matter most when choosing a truly professional provider?

Favorite small towns in Greece?

I realized recently that some of my favorite places in Greece haven’t actually been the major destinations everyone talks about, but smaller towns that just had a completely different atmosphere to them.

Sometimes it’s a mountain village with one main square and old stone houses, other times it’s a tiny coastal town where everyone seems to know each other and life moves slower. A few of the places I still think about most weren’t even places I had originally planned to visit.

I’m curious what small towns or villages have really stayed with people after traveling in Greece. Could be because of the scenery, the food, the people, the history, or just the overall feeling of the place.

Would love to hear everyone’s favorites, especially places that don’t always make the typical travel lists.

Family Car Services for First Timer in Boston

Hi everyone, I’m planning a family trip to Boston from Athens and was searching for car service from options airport to my hotel online. While exploring, I came across Blue Nile Livery. I also noticed their service is featured on Google and even highlighted on Forbes, along with positive reviews on several travel sites. Based on what I’ve seen there, their service seems good to me... Since this trip is with my family, I want something safe, comfortable, and punctual for airport transfers and city travel. I’d love to hear from anyone who has used a ride service in Boston. Do you think this would be a good choice for family travel?

Festivals of Note for 2026 in Greece?

My family and I are starting to think about a possible trip to Greece in 2026, and this time we’re considering planning part of the trip around a festival or cultural celebration. We’ve been to Greece before, but we’ve never really organized a trip around a specific event.

I know Greece has so many interesting traditions throughout the year. Because of that, I’m starting to gather ideas early while we figure out where we might want to go.

Have any of you traveled to Greece specifically to experience a festival? If so, which ones would you recommend? It could be religious celebrations, food festivals, music events, or local village festivals.
I’d love to hear about any memorable festival experiences that might help us shape our 2026 plans.
