One of the most frustrating things I found while travelling and working from home is finding good Wi-Fi at hotels. I've travelled quite a bit around the world ever since Covid hit, and I've been working from home which has been great. I would love to do the same thing in Greece, but I've never actually tried to work from home in Greece. My job requires pretty substantial Wi-Fi use, and I was wondering what everyone's experiences with Wi-Fi while travelling in Greece. Are you able to use hotel wifi or did you have to find another way?

It depends where you go. I've had good experiences, I've had bad ones. I have an unlocked iphone. So, I usually just buy a Greek SIM card to use while in Greece.

You have gone to Hellas, why do you need WI-FI?
Stay home.
 
I love working from home in Greece
 
As far as I know, Wi-Fi works pretty well in Greece! I've never had a problem when I was there.
 
I totally get your concern about finding reliable Wi-Fi while traveling. It can be hit or miss, right? I've had mixed experiences with hotel Wi-Fi in Greece. Some places have been great, while others not so much.If you're looking for a backup plan, I've used Simify for my travels abroad, and it's been a lifesaver when hotel Wi-Fi isn't up to par. Having a reliable connection is crucial, especially if your job requires heavy Wi-Fi usage like mine does.But hey, don't stress too much—Greece is amazing, and I'm sure you'll find a solution that works for you.
 

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!

Staying Near Athens by the Beach?

I'm planning a trip to Greece and will be spending some time in Athens, but I'm also looking to stay somewhere outside of the city that’s near the beach. I’m hoping to find a place that offers a more relaxed atmosphere, where I can unwind by the sea while still having access to some local culture and attractions.

Does anyone have recommendations for coastal towns or beach resorts within a reasonable distance from Athens? Ideally, I’m looking for somewhere that’s not too crowded but still has good restaurants, maybe some historical sites, and, of course, beautiful beaches.

I've heard about places like Sounio, Porto Rafti, and Glyfada—are these good options? Any specific areas or hotels you would suggest? Also, how easy is it to travel back to Athens for day trips if I decide to stay outside the city? Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!
