Best Greek Beaches for First Time Visitors?

I'm basically asking for a friend — it's been decades since I was a first-time visitor to Greece, so I don’t really remember what that fresh, wide-eyed perspective feels like anymore. I’m definitely biased when it comes to Greek beaches… Elafonissi in Crete is hands-down my favorite, and of course I already told my friend to put it on their list.

But I figured I’d ask you all: what are the best beaches in Greece for someone visiting for the first time?

They’re looking for something beautiful, memorable, and not too hard to get to. Bonus points for spots with nearby tavernas or charming villages. I’d love to pass along some of your suggestions so they can make the most of their trip.

So — what beaches made you fall in love with Greece the first time you went?

Has anyone visited Delphi?

I’m planning a trip to Delphi and would love some advice from anyone who has been there. I’m particularly excited to see the archaeological site and the famous Temple of Apollo, but I’d also like to know if there are any hidden gems nearby worth exploring.

Do you have recommendations for the best times to visit to avoid crowds? Are there local guides you’d suggest? Also, I’m curious about nearby restaurants or cafes that serve authentic Greek food.

Any tips on where to stay in the area or how much time to set aside for a visit would be fantastic too. Thanks in advance!

Good Greek Mainland Destinations to Stay At?

Hey all, I am wondering if there are any good places to stay in Mainland Greece that are beyond Athens. I’ve done the typical island-hopping thing before, but I feel like the mainland is full of gems that often get overlooked. I’d love recommendations for towns or regions that are beautiful, culturally rich, and good for staying a few days.

I’m into history, local food, and scenic views, and I would also love a nice area nearby with restaurants and cafes. I’ve heard good things about Nafplio and Metsovo, but I’m open to all suggestions—whether it’s coastal, mountain, or something totally off the radar.

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.

Visiting the Peloponnese Again

It's been a few years since I've been to the Peloponnese and I've been thinking about it lately because I love the food! I want to return and want some tips. Last time I went, I spend most of my time in Monemvassia. I want to go back, but I don't want to spend all my time there.

Do you have suggestions? I want a well rounded trip with beaches, going out, and seeing historical places. For example, I want to visit some of the archaeological sites like Mycenae - I haven't had a chance to do that yet. Any advice you have for me is welcomed!
