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.

Best Greek Islands for Food Lovers?

I’m planning my next trip to Greece and, as a big food lover, I’m hoping to explore the islands with the best culinary scenes. I know every island has its own specialties, but I’d love to hear from those who have traveled around—what are the best Greek islands for amazing food experiences?

I’m especially interested in islands where I can find authentic local dishes, fresh seafood, traditional Greek meze, and maybe even unique island-specific specialties that aren’t as well-known. Also, any tips on islands with great local markets, farm-to-table restaurants, or even cooking classes where I can learn to make some Greek dishes would be amazing.

For context, I’ve already been to Crete, which was incredible, so I’d love to find another island with a similar focus on fresh, traditional cuisine. Any recommendations or must-try dishes would be greatly appreciated—thanks so much for your help!

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!

Public Transportation Mainland Greece

I’m planning a trip to mainland Greece and want to explore beyond just Athens. I’ve heard that public transportation, like buses and trains, can be a great way to get around, but I’m not sure how easy it is to navigate, especially as a tourist who doesn’t speak Greek.

Can anyone share tips on using public transportation in places like Thessaloniki, Delphi, or the Peloponnese? Are the buses and trains reliable and frequent, or is renting a car a better option for flexibility? Also, is there a good website or app for checking schedules and buying tickets in advance?

I’d love to hear about your experiences and any recommendations you might have for making the most out of traveling through Greece’s public transport system.
