Which island to visit?

If you only had time to visit one of these islands which would you choose? I am in negotiations with my family to pick only one of these... There's 8 of us traveling and we each have different opinions.

1. Mykonos
2. Santorini
3. Zakynthos
4. Crete
5. Naxos

I am personally leaning towards Zakynthos or Naxos because I have never been... Thanks in advance!

Exploring Mycenae as a Day Trip from Athens?

I’m planning my next trip to Greece and am trying to work out my itinerary. I’d love to visit Mycenae, as I’ve always been fascinated by ancient Greek history and the stories of Agamemnon.

I’m currently thinking of making it a day trip from Athens—does this make sense, or is it better to stay closer? I’m also planning to spend time in Monemvasia again (it’s one of my favorite spots!). Would it be practical to fit Mycenae into this trip as a stopover on my way to or from Monemvasia?

I’ll have a rental car, so I’m flexible, but I don’t want to feel rushed or miss out on fully exploring Mycenae. Any tips would be great!

More Museums in Athens?

Our family visits Athens almost every year, and we love exploring its amazing museums. Last year, we had a great time at the Acropolis Museum and the National Archaeological Museum. This year, we’re heading back in early spring for a family event and are looking for new museums to visit.

We’d love to find places that might be more focused on art or something unique that would appeal to all ages. Any recommendations for must-see museums or hidden gems in Athens? Bonus points for something interactive or family-friendly!

We’re always excited to hear about places we haven’t been yet. Let me know your favorites—thanks in advance!

Tips for Visiting the Dodecanese Islands

Hi everyone! I’m planning a trip to the Dodecanese Islands and could use some advice on which islands to prioritize. There are so many to choose from—Rhodes, Kos, Symi, Patmos, Karpathos, Astypalaia, and more—but I won’t have time to see them all.

I love a mix of history, beautiful beaches, authentic Greek food, and charming villages. I’d love to visit at least one island with a lively atmosphere and another that’s more off-the-beaten-path. If you’ve been, which ones stood out to you the most?

Also, any general tips for visiting the Dodecanese? Is island-hopping easy between them? Are there ferry routes that work well for multiple stops, or would it be better to focus on just 1–2 islands?

Best Greek Beaches for First Time Visitors?

I'm basically asking for a friend — it's been decades since I was a first-time visitor to Greece, so I don’t really remember what that fresh, wide-eyed perspective feels like anymore. I’m definitely biased when it comes to Greek beaches… Elafonissi in Crete is hands-down my favorite, and of course I already told my friend to put it on their list.

But I figured I’d ask you all: what are the best beaches in Greece for someone visiting for the first time?

They’re looking for something beautiful, memorable, and not too hard to get to. Bonus points for spots with nearby tavernas or charming villages. I’d love to pass along some of your suggestions so they can make the most of their trip.

So — what beaches made you fall in love with Greece the first time you went?
