I'm planning an adventure to Greece and would love to hear your recommendations. What do you consider the top must-visit places in this beautiful country? Here's my current list, but I'm open to suggestions:
  • Santorini
  • Athens
  • Crete
  • Mykonos
  • Meteora
Looking forward to your insights on these destinations or any hidden gems you think shouldn't be missed. Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences and tips!
 
Your list is fantastic and covers some of Greece’s top destinations! Here are a few additional suggestions and insights for your adventure:
  1. Santorini: Don’t miss the sunset in Oia, the volcanic beaches, and a visit to the ancient ruins of Akrotiri.
  2. Athens: Explore the Acropolis, the Plaka neighborhood, and the National Archaeological Museum.
  3. Crete: Visit the Palace of Knossos, the charming town of Chania, and the stunning beaches of Elafonissi and Balos.
  4. Mykonos: Enjoy the vibrant nightlife, beautiful beaches, and a day trip to the nearby island of Delos.
  5. Meteora: Marvel at the monasteries perched on top of towering rock formations and hike the scenic trails.
Additionally, consider visiting Nafplio for its picturesque old town and Delphi for its ancient ruins and breathtaking view
 

Business declines on two islands!

I personally don't know what to make of this!😂..... Having worked in Tourism Industry for many years I never believe statistics(I take them with pinch of salt! 😂).... Quantifying revenue streams from these two Islands especially Mykonos would be a classified confidential subject, perhaps no one know how it is determined!!😂Just a few weeks ago Santorini was restricting numbers,so says the media!?....and now the tour guide says the opposite!....I am going to wait until the end of the summer.Income wise Super Yachts and high end tourism certainly produces substantial revenue,be it may not spreading across, vacant aircraft seats is an indicator of dissatisfied travellers but this has been long time coming!

Greece with a Romantic Partner?

My partner and I are planning a trip to Greece, and we’re looking for recommendations on the best romantic spots to visit. We’re hoping to find a good mix of relaxation, beautiful scenery, and some adventure. We’ve heard Santorini is a must for couples, but we’re also curious about lesser-known islands or regions that offer a more secluded, intimate experience.

What are some of your favorite places in Greece for a romantic getaway? We’d love tips on romantic accommodations, great spots for sunset views, and restaurants with a cozy, intimate atmosphere. Also, any suggestions for unique activities we can do together—like wine tasting, boat trips, or scenic hikes—would be much appreciated.

We’re looking to create some unforgettable memories, so any advice you have would be wonderful!

July 2024 sets a record as the hottest month in Greece's recorded history!

Yes indeed, additional precautions necessary at all times especially visiting any outdoor archeological and cultural sites,I remember when I used to visit Delos regularly,it was unbearable, always feeling for my lovely tour guides who had go around the sites, sometimes 3/4 times in that blistering heat!
