Getting Money from ATMs in Greece?

I have a friend who just came back from Greece and she told me she had issues using the ATM machines.

I have never had a problem, but I am curious as to what is going on.

Does anyone know why her ATM card, which works int he US, might not have worked in Greece? It is making me wonder if I need to also do something with my bank before I go to Greece again.

She said the machine kept giving her an error that said it wouldn't work because the card wasn't hooked up to a savings account?

Seeing an Ancient Greek Play while in Greece?

Hi everyone! I’m planning a trip to Greece and would love to see an ancient Greek play while I’m there—something staged in an open-air ancient theater, like Epidaurus or even Herodes Atticus in Athens. It’s been a dream of mine to experience a classic tragedy or comedy under the stars in the kind of venue it was originally performed in.

I was wondering if anyone has tips for how to plan for this. Do these performances only happen during certain months or festivals? Do I need to buy tickets far in advance? Also, are the plays typically performed in modern or ancient Greek—and is it still enjoyable if you don’t speak fluent Greek?

Any advice on what to bring, where to sit, or how to make the most of the experience would be amazing. I’d really appreciate any recommendations or personal experiences. Thanks!

Which Cyclades Islands to Visit?

I’m thinking of going to the Cyclades next time I’m in Greece and would love some advice. There are so many islands to choose from, and I’m not sure which ones are really worth visiting.

I’m open to both the popular spots and some of the quieter, less touristy islands. I’d love a mix of beautiful beaches, good local food, charming towns, and maybe some history or nature. I’m not big on nightlife, so peaceful and authentic vibes are more my style.

If you’ve been to the Cyclades, which islands stood out to you the most? Are there any hidden gems you’d recommend? And which ones might be a little overrated or not quite worth the hype?

Would love to hear your thoughts and personal favorites. I want to make the most of the trip and really get a feel for the best the Cyclades have to offer.

Tips for Visiting the Dodecanese Islands

Hi everyone! I’m planning a trip to the Dodecanese Islands and could use some advice on which islands to prioritize. There are so many to choose from—Rhodes, Kos, Symi, Patmos, Karpathos, Astypalaia, and more—but I won’t have time to see them all.

I love a mix of history, beautiful beaches, authentic Greek food, and charming villages. I’d love to visit at least one island with a lively atmosphere and another that’s more off-the-beaten-path. If you’ve been, which ones stood out to you the most?

Also, any general tips for visiting the Dodecanese? Is island-hopping easy between them? Are there ferry routes that work well for multiple stops, or would it be better to focus on just 1–2 islands?

Tips for Exploring Mainland Greece by Car?

I’m of Greek descent and have visited Greece many times, but I’ve always stayed in one place or traveled by bus and ferry. This year, I’m thinking of doing something different, renting a car and exploring the mainland! I’d love any tips or advice from those who’ve done it before.

Are the roads easy to navigate? What areas are especially worth driving through—Peloponnese, Zagori, Meteora? I’m hoping to see some smaller villages, mountains, and historical sites I wouldn’t reach otherwise.

Is it better to rent in Athens and drive out, or start from a smaller city? How’s parking in towns? I’m also a little nervous about signage and rural driving.

Would really appreciate any recommendations on routes, stops, or driving tips in general. I want this trip to feel both adventurous but I don't want to feel stressed. I heard driving in Greece could be stressful.
