    Have you visited the Museum of Prehistoric Thera?

    If you go to Santorini it is a must see even if you are not in to archeology and do it with a guided tour. I would also recommend you go to Nea Kameni volcano Island, walk up to the top where the craters are. If you have spare time take the ferry to Thirasia and have lunch at the waterfront...

    Does anyone know if Mount Ainos is open?

    Regardless of active fires it has been closing at times during summer months for several years now. I would think it should be open from now on. If you haven't been there before, you can drive all the way to the telecommunication tower and the view is amazing on a clear day.

    Loutraki

    I think it will be better to contact a local photographer in Loutraki. I usually stay in the Club hotel casino there at least 3-4 days but not this year, we can't travel o/s. If I had a house there I would be going at least every couple years...

    Is it easy to find parking in Rhodes Town?

    Kosta , I think you will find it difficult to find one that will allow you to ferry a car. I have been dealing with them for many years, I rent a car for the whole time I spent in Greece (4-8 weeks, almost every year) and they look after me, that's the reason I still use them. I book a few weeks...

    Is it easy to find parking in Rhodes Town?

    The vast majority of rental companies will not allow their cars on ferries, you will find that on your contract. Several reasons for this and one is insurance. When I'm in Greece I always rent from the same company in Athens and they allow me to take their car on ferries but I have to tell them...

    What European countries do you stop at on the way to Greece?

    You can fly to Athens direct from Newark but not to either of the other two not even from New York. Limited direct flights from Athens to Valletta but no direct flights to any Croatian city from Athens. You have to fly from Rome . If you wanted to visit all tree, Valletta first then Zagreb...

    What European countries do you stop at on the way to Greece?

    That depends on where you are coming from, how much spare time you have and what your preferences are. I would recommend Malta and Croatia if you haven't been there before

    Why are taxis to and from the Athens airport so expensive? Any way to avoid this?

    Just like everywhere else there is a charge for Taxis picking up and dropping off at the airport, I think they charge them 3 Euro but not sure on the quantum. How much would the Taxi fare be in your country for traveling the same distance? As I pointed out in Sydney Australia it is more...

    Why are taxis to and from the Athens airport so expensive? Any way to avoid this?

    Well it depends what countries you are comparing with. Greece is a European country and as such you have to compare prices with Europe or other first world countries . Taxi fares compare favourably with most others in Europe. Years ago pre EU Greece was much cheaper than the rest of Europe but...

    Why are taxis to and from the Athens airport so expensive? Any way to avoid this?

    It should be about 65-75 Euros but it is over 50 km, it is reasonable for a taxi in my opinion. I don't know where you live, I live about 38 km from Sydney airport and I pay the equivalent of about 70-75 Euros. I would rent a car if I was you, pick up at the airport and drop it back there when...

    Are there trains from Thessaloniki to Athens?

    Sorry the only time I used a train in Greece was Metro in Athens . Others have told me about the train, apparently a fast train but it can't be that fast if it takes 4 hours to cover the 500 km. I usually pick up a car at the airport and use that for our stay in Greece, I even take the car of...

    What are the best islands to sail to from Corfu?

    Not just the pool, the outdoor breakfast and dinning area is just as nice. The hotel is family run, numerous family members work there. Some nights they even entertain guests with Greek dances. They grow their own vegetables there and they have lots of fig trees. They allow guests to to pick if...
