I am traveling to Greece this summer and flying into Athens. I will spend a few days there, then head out for a cruise. I am trying to figure out where to stay. When I ask, no one tells me to stay in Piraeus, which would be the most convenient option. Is there a reason no one is stying near Piraeus? Or am I missing something?

So far, I am thinking of booking a hotel by the Acropolis - but I want to consider all my options.

So, I love history and I plan to go to Greece this year. I know I will be visiting in Athens and Crete. I will have time for one other place, but with such a distance between Crete and other places, I am not sure what makes sense. Some possibilities:

Explore mainland Greece after Athens and before Crete
Head to Rhodes after Crete
Visit Thessaloniki and the surrounding area after Athens and before Crete
Head to Santorini or Mykonos after Crete so I can visit Delos

Is it easy to visit the likes of Monemvasia from Kythira? I will be starting my journey in Athens. From there, I will head to Kythira on a ferry from Piraeus. After spending some time on that island, I want to go to Monemvasia. Does this itinerary make any sense or should I make some adjustments? Like, should I go to Monemvasia and maybe explore more of the Peloponnese before heading to Kythira instead of vice versa?

I just saw a post for a place n Greece I have never heard of - Aitoliko. This is fascinating because when I think of visiting Greece, I think of the main places - Thessaloniki, Athens, Santorini, Mykonos, Crete, Rhodes, etc... I would love to start visiting some of these smaller places! Does anyone have recommendations? Something top of mind that I should prioritize?

What are your favorite islands to visit in the Cyclades? I have been to Santorini and Mykonos many times, but I want to branch out and was thinking of visiting Tinos next time I am in Greece. Has anyone ever been to Tinos, Naxos, Antiparos, or any of the others and have any advice for me? I will be in Santorini for a little bit but then I would want to take a ferry to somewhere else.

Is it scary to drive in Greece?

I have heard some horror stories of driving in Greece, but many of these stories took place in cities like Athens. Is this observation true?

The reason why I am asking is because I am going to be visiting Tinos soon and would like to rent a car to explore the island. I heard that this was a fantastic way to get around. Tinos is small, and to me this means the driving might not be bad.

I had a bad driving experience in Italy while in Rome, but once leaving Rome and entering the countryside it was totally fine. I'm hoping Greece is like this, too!
