I am traveling to Greece in a group. Some of my family is interested in adventurous activities. We will be in various places, like Athens, Rhodes, I think we might end up on Crete... we will be in Greece for a while.

We can also change locations in order to something. I thought I would ask for suggestions on what to do. People have expressed an interest in jet skiing, hiking, scuba diving ... Any other activities the sporty ones can try? I won't be doing it - not my thing lol.
 
I think Crete is a good bet. The island is big and you an do most things. Rent jet skis, hike, Scuba, there is even a kit surfing scene in the area by Agios Nikolaos. And, there are also a lot of beaches for relaxing, as well as cities with nightlife, sightseeing, shopping, etc. There is something for everyone!
 

What does contemporary fine dining look like in Greece?

I’m planning a trip to Greece and, while I love traditional Greek food, I’m also curious about the modern fine dining scene. I know Greece has a deep culinary heritage, but I’ve heard that some chefs are taking classic flavors and giving them a contemporary twist.

For those who have experienced it, what does fine dining in Greece look like today? Are there any standout restaurants or chefs redefining Greek cuisine? Is it more focused on Michelin-starred establishments, or are there also smaller, innovative spots worth checking out?

I’m particularly interested in tasting dishes that blend tradition with modern techniques, maybe something with a creative take on seafood, local ingredients, or Greek wines. Any recommendations for restaurants in Athens, Thessaloniki, or the islands?

Would love to hear about your experiences and must-try dishes! Thanks in advance.

Recommendations on Greek Cruises?

I’m thinking about taking a cruise to explore the beautiful Greek islands, but I’m overwhelmed by all the options out there! I’d love some recommendations for Greek cruises that offer a mix of stunning scenery, cultural experiences, and authentic Greek food.

I’m particularly interested in smaller cruise lines or ships that give you more time to explore the islands, especially places like Santorini, Mykonos, Crete, and maybe some of the lesser-known islands. Are there cruises that include unique experiences like local cooking classes, wine tastings, or guided historical tours?

Also, I’m curious if anyone has tips on the best time of year to go, what to look for in a cruise line, or any “must-see” stops that I shouldn’t miss.

happy new year

Travelling to Corfu, summer 2025

Hi there

I'm travelling to Corfu, spending a month there in summer 2025. I wondered if I might be able to connect with anyone else with similar plans (male or female, any age) as while I'm excited about the opportunity to explore on my own and do a lot of much-needed reflection on my trip, meeting other like-minded travellers is never a bad idea!

Also, if anyone has any tips about Paleokasistra, or might be heading to Corfu next summer, I'd love to hear from you.

Please do reach out.

Advice for Creating a Greek Itinerary?

I’m planning a 3-week trip to Greece and could use some advice on building the perfect itinerary. I know I definitely want to visit Kefalonia and Athens, but I’m torn about where else to go for my third destination. Should I add another island like Santorini, Crete, or Corfu, or stick to the mainland and explore somewhere like Delphi or Meteora?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on how to balance the time between these spots. How many days should I spend in each place? Are there any must-see attractions or experiences I shouldn’t miss?

Also, any tips on transportation would be really helpful! Should I rely on ferries, flights, or a rental car?

I want to soak in the culture, enjoy amazing food, and see both historic sites and natural beauty. Thanks in advance for your recommendations!
