I want to start discovering some new places to enjoy in Greece - or maybe even rediscover old favorites. I go to Greece fairly often - not quite every year - but I try to go as much as possible. I thought I would make a list of my favorite places. I want to hear about yours, as well!

- Chania, Crete - It's historical, beautiful, and there are some great area beaches. Crete is wonderful.
- Oia, Santorini - so charming
- When I am in a party mood, Super Paradise Beach on Mykonos
- Acropolis in Athens
- Rhodes - it's a beautiful island!

Let's see..

I also love Chania in Crete. In fact, I love the whole island.

I also love exploring the Athens area beyond the city center. Like, I alway make it a point to head to Sounion when in that area to catch the Temple of Poseidon at sunset.

Syros-another dimension on a very beautiful island!.... You know when one loves that feeling which is indescribable...thats how I always felt about Syros....I used to spend many hours alone at the harbour seafront cafenions. ...Been many times of course, lived there for a short time too!
Crete,as mentioned previously....all over!
Fokos beach and Fragia beach in Mykonos!...and Kapari beach! ⛱️⛱️
 
My favorite place is our village. Why? Because it's in the middle of nowhere, so no one speaks English which means there are no tourists!

Outside of the village, I really enjoy ioannina, trikala, and volos.

Visiting Delphi worth it?

I am trying to figure out if visiting Delphi is worth it. I want to fit seeing as many historical sites as I can into my itinerary. I've always been fascinated by ancient cultures and their histories, which naturally puts places like Athens and Santorini on my list. Recently, I've been reading up on Delphi and am intrigued by its significant historical and cultural value, not to mention its picturesque landscapes.

Given its status as the center of the world in ancient Greek civilization and the home of the famous oracle, it sounds like a place full of fascinating stories and ruins. However, I'm also aware that Greece is full of remarkable places to visit, each with its unique allure.

Canyoning Bled Slovenia

Hi guys!!
I'm planning to take a group canyoning Bled but apparently, it is obligatory to use a local guide. I am a canyon instructor (caf and ffme), is this enough to supervise without anyone else? I have several years of experience (climbing and canyoning) and it is obvious that I will not be able to offer this destination if it is not possible.
Thanks in advance

When does tourist season end in Greece?

I am planning my next Greek trip.

I want to go in October but the people I am traveling with - we won't be able to to go until mid-October.

I have been to Crete that late in the year and to Athens, but not anywhere else. On our schedule is to visit some of the smaller islands, like Hydra.

Do places like that shut down? My main concern is, will the tourist shops be closed? I love to browse through them and it's part of my enjoyment.

Is Marathon a good day trip from Athens?

I've been planning an itinerary for my upcoming trip to Athens, and I've always been fascinated by the historical significance of Marathon. Considering its role in ancient history and the famous battle that took place there, it seems like a place that might be worth a visit.

However, I'm on the fence about dedicating a whole day trip to Marathon. From what I understand, it isn’t too far from Athens, but I'm trying to weigh up whether the experience is worthy compared to spending that time exploring more within the city itself.

Has anyone made the day trip to Marathon from Athens? Was it an enriching experience, and what are the can't-miss sights? Is the archeological site/museum there engaging enough for a history buff? Also, how about the logistics – is it easy to get to by public transport, or would you suggest renting a car or going with a tour?

I am just trying to decide if it's worth it, or if I should plan to stay overnight. Thanks!
