I'm currently planning a trip to Thessaloniki and I'm eager to explore this city's rich history and vibrant culture on foot. From what I've gathered, walking tours seem like an excellent way to immerse oneself in the local atmosphere and learn about the city's historical significance, its...

I want to document my next trip to Mykonos with some great photos. Does anyone have personal favorites or insider tips on the best spots for photography in Mykonos? I'm interested in both, the well-known attractions and those off-the-beaten-path locations that offer unique perspectives of the...

When I am about to visit a destination, I like to watch video content. It has been a while since I have been to Corfu. I kept trying to go, but it keeps falling through. Ignore the several-minutes long plug for a product! That part I know was necessary because they were a sponsor. Once you...

I am planning my next Greek trip. I want to go in October but the people I am traveling with - we won't be able to to go until mid-October. I have been to Crete that late in the year and to Athens, but not anywhere else. On our schedule is to visit some of the smaller islands, like Hydra. Do...

I thought I would make a list of some great places in Greece. Some I've visited, some I'd like to visit. Any recommendations on what I should add to the list? Thanks! 1. Athens: Athens provides the perfect contrast to the beautiful island vibe of Greece. Athens is the capital city of Greece and...

I love the photos I see of people who are wearing that beautiful flowing dress, and the photo is taken with the backdrop of the gorgeous island. I love the photo and want to do one for myself. How can I do this? I heard that it is actually a business? Does anyone have any details?

I have friends who travel to Greece for months at a time and I am thinking about it. However, if I did, I would have to work at least part of the time. I have a full time job and even though I would have plenty of time to see the sites, I do have to tend to my job. Otherwise I would only really...

I love to shop while in Greece and I go about once or twice a year. I always bring things home! Some are household staples, like olive oil, wine, honey, and herbs, and others are great gifts - like worry beads. Here's a look at what I love to bring home. Olive Oil - I love bringing back...

I will be traveling to Greece this Christmas and I want to make some Christopsomo to give to my family when I go. I have never made it and want to run something by you - do these ingredients look right? It looks very similar to tsoureki to me but with a lot of spices. I am also nervous there's...

I've been to Corfu plenty of times. I am writing down some of my notes so that I can sort out what I want to see next time I visit. I have friends there and might visit again next year... Old Town Corfu - It's a NESCO World Heritage Site and has an impressive collection of Venetian-era...

Oh! Yes - that is so fun. I'll have to look into visiting some of the best gyro and souvlaki spots, as well as some of the best bars. I haven't explored Monastiraki as much as I would like.

Athens is one of my favorite places to visit! It's so rich in history, culture, and even has a spirit of adventure. What I find most impressive are the ruins, museums, and other attractions. I thought I'd give list of my favorite places. What are your favorite places? History If you’re...

I think you are on the right track with this line of thinking! But even in larger islands, like Crete, the island is so big that there are "out of the way" places on that islands alone. Same goes for Athens - there are the touristy areas but there some sections that are more out of the way that...

I don't have a pic to share but I want to chime in about Mykonos. It can be nuts, especially in peak season. If any in your party are reluctant I vote to skip it. The ones who don't like chaotic party scenes will drag the whole party down. This happened to me. I had someone in my group drag us...

I love football culture! It's a thing to experience - and there is some rowdiness but there are a lot of families that go so I have never felt unsafe at a game.

Yes thank you for sharing! This looks like an excellent list. I love shopping when I go to Greece.

I have friends who did this hike, as well. I wanted to do it! However, after reading this thread, I think I might consider heading to that village and poking around. I heard the water at that beach is very warm and the black sand is really cool. The portion of the hike that leads to the gorge...

I second that! It seems like it would be more fun to really dive in and learn about the Greek culture. It's something to think about.

Great tip! I went off-season so this didn't happen to me - so it's good advice! I will use it myself next time I go!
