I'm planning a trip to the Peloponnese, and I'm debating whether it’s worth stopping in Corinth on my way there. Has anyone made a similar trip? If so, could you share your experiences?

I'm particularly interested in:
  • Historical Sites: Are the ancient ruins and historical sites in Corinth worth visiting?
  • Scenic Views: Is the Corinth Canal as impressive in person as it looks in pictures?
  • Local Culture: What’s the vibe of the town like? Any local shops or markets worth checking out?
  • Travel Tips: Are there any specific recommendations or things I should be
Thanks in advance!
 
Corinth is definitely worth a stop on your trip to the Peloponnese.

Historical Sites: The ancient ruins, including the Temple of Apollo and Acrocorinth, are fascinating and rich with history.

Scenic Views: The Corinth Canal is impressive and offers stunning views. It's a unique engineering marvel that’s worth seeing in person.

Local Culture: The town has a charming vibe with friendly locals. Check out local shops and the central market for authentic souvenirs and fresh produce.

Travel Tips: Wear comfortable shoes for exploring the ruins and consider a boat tour through the canal for a unique perspective. Don’t miss the local tavernas for delicious Greek cuisine.

Has anyone visited Delphi?

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!

Greece to tax cruise ship arrivals to protect popular islands from overtourism!

My my,there is also another tax in Pireaus for docking of cruise ships, hasn't the landscape of Tourism Industry changed?!..I like that bit 'To protect the islands!'Now I wander how charging would 'protect the islands'?!🤣... Just the other day Mykonos had 8 cruise ships docked simultaneously with no over crowding!!....so stated the Mayor!🤣🤣The sadest,as always about this is ask anyone who works day in day out if they are rewarded directly for their efforts, especially in the islands which are extortionately costly for the workers for living and accommodation expenses!

The ‘Greek Caribbean’ island where you can holiday like a celeb on a budget.

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.

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!
