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!

Delphi is an incredible destination—you're in for a treat! The archaeological site and Temple of Apollo are awe-inspiring, but be sure to also explore the Tholos at the Sanctuary of Athena Pronaia, just a short walk away. It's less crowded but equally captivating.

To avoid the busiest times, aim to visit early in the morning or later in the afternoon, especially during summer. Spring and fall are ideal seasons for fewer crowds and pleasant weather. Hiring a local guide can enrich your visit; look for certified guides through Delphi's tourism office or reputable travel websites.

For authentic Greek food, try To Patriko Mas, known for its warm atmosphere and traditional dishes. As for accommodations, consider staying in nearby Arachova—a picturesque village with cozy guesthouses and stunning mountain views. It's a great place to visit!
 

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.

More Museums in Athens?

Our family visits Athens almost every year, and we love exploring its amazing museums. Last year, we had a great time at the Acropolis Museum and the National Archaeological Museum. This year, we’re heading back in early spring for a family event and are looking for new museums to visit.

We’d love to find places that might be more focused on art or something unique that would appeal to all ages. Any recommendations for must-see museums or hidden gems in Athens? Bonus points for something interactive or family-friendly!

We’re always excited to hear about places we haven’t been yet. Let me know your favorites—thanks in advance!

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.

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!

Time of year to visit Greece?

The tourist season for this year has been over and it's been a while since I've gone. I want to take my family. When is the best time to go? My kids are home schooled so I don't have to worry about that. I’ve heard different opinions depending on the season, so I’m a bit torn. Summer seems to be popular for island hopping and beach days, but I’m worried about the crowds and high prices. On the other hand, spring and fall sound appealing for fewer tourists and pleasant weather, but I’m not sure if everything is open or if I’d miss out on anything special. Winter is also an option, though I know it’s the off-season.

For those who have been to Greece during different times of the year, when would you recommend visiting and why? I’d appreciate any tips or insights!
