Someone suggested that Tinos is a gorgeous place, and I recently bumped into some photos and I agree.

I want to spend a week somewhere quiet in Greece when I go this year. Do you think there is enough to do on Tinos?

I figure I will spend most of my time on the beach. Does anyone have recommendations for beach and restaurants?

My husband, son and I spent several days on Tinos. It was wonderful. I would highly suggest renting a car so that you can visit around the island. I would also suggest checking out Matt Barrett's Greek website. He has some great information about the island.

That is a great tip about the car. I heard that the driving in Greece can be crazy, but only in the bigger cities. Driving around a smaller island is totally fine. I hope this is true because I think your advice is fantastic!

I have never been but when I read your question, I looked it up. It's so pretty! I would totally rent a car so you can explore.
 

Best historical destinations in Greece?

So, I love history and I plan to go to Greece this year. I know I will be visiting in Athens and Crete. I will have time for one other place, but with such a distance between Crete and other places, I am not sure what makes sense. Some possibilities:

  • Explore mainland Greece after Athens and before Crete
  • Head to Rhodes after Crete
  • Visit Thessaloniki and the surrounding area after Athens and before Crete
  • Head to Santorini or Mykonos after Crete so I can visit Delos

Visiting Monemvasia from Kythira?

Is it easy to visit the likes of Monemvasia from Kythira? I will be starting my journey in Athens. From there, I will head to Kythira on a ferry from Piraeus. After spending some time on that island, I want to go to Monemvasia. Does this itinerary make any sense or should I make some adjustments? Like, should I go to Monemvasia and maybe explore more of the Peloponnese before heading to Kythira instead of vice versa?

Hearing Great Things About Milos

I have never been to Milos, but lately I have been hearing so many great things I am thinking I want to visit.

I have been to most of the major destinations in Greece like Athens, Crete, Santorini, etc. I want to explore some of the off the beaten track places!

Milos fans - do you have any stories, advice, or tips?

Anything to actually do in Piraeus?

I am traveling to Greece this summer and flying into Athens. I will spend a few days there, then head out for a cruise. I am trying to figure out where to stay. When I ask, no one tells me to stay in Piraeus, which would be the most convenient option. Is there a reason no one is stying near Piraeus? Or am I missing something?

So far, I am thinking of booking a hotel by the Acropolis - but I want to consider all my options.
