I am a total spa lover!! I love going to a spa to unwind and relax while on vacation and treating myself to a complete spa experience. I am debating on where to go in Greece this year and I would love to see some great spa locations, preferably a hotel with a spa attached so it is most convenient (I don't like to rent a car). Does anyone have recommendations and personal experiences at a great Greek spa? I am looking to get a massage and perhaps sit in a sauna and jacuzzi. Extra services are a bonus!

Where in Greece will you be? There are a lot of Hammam places in Athens but I have never tried any of them. They look amazing, though. There are also some spa hotels all over Greece. It depends where you are going!

 
Here you can find a list of hundreds of hotels with spa in Greece and a lot of information about each spa. This is a hotel search engine with advanced category filters and spa is one of them, so it must be very interesting to spa lovers.

Thanks for sharing the list of the best spas. I will be visiting a hotel in the Khalkidhiki region of Greece in a month, and I hope to find a good spa there. Some say there are places with healing waters, and I really hope to find them. My skin has been feeling not so well lately, and I hope this trip will help me improve that.
It’s been a tough year, and only procedures from https://onsitemedspa.com/services/ helped me to stay more or less good-looking. It’s hard to stay a fine-looking woman when you’re in your 40s. I don’t want to grow old too soon, and I’m ready to pay for it.

Andronis Concept Wellness Resort is my favorite spa resort in Santorini. They offer all the spa procedures, yoga sessions, detox lunches, and a lot more.
 
Greece is an amazing destination for relaxation. Last summer, I discovered a hidden gem at Blue Mountain Hotel on one of the Greek islands. Their spa was heavenly, with massages that melted away all my stress and a sauna and jacuzzi to unwind in. Plus, the convenience of having it right at the hotel made it even better.

Hiking Vacation in Greece?

I’m thinking about planning a more active vacation in Greece next year, something different from the usual beach-and-island-hopping trip — and I’d love some advice from people who have actually explored Greece’s hiking side. I keep hearing that the country has some incredible trails, from coastal paths to mountain routes to old stone footpaths connecting villages, but I’m not sure where to start.

If you’ve hiked in Greece, what were your favorite trails? Are there specific regions that really stand out for outdoor lovers, places like Crete, Zagori, Pelion, Naxos, or the Peloponnese? I’m open to everything: multi-hour hikes, easier scenic walks, or even multi-day routes if they’re worth the effort.

Also, how is trail signage, and do most hikers use apps or local guides? Thanks in advance!

Festivals of Note for 2026 in Greece?

My family and I are starting to think about a possible trip to Greece in 2026, and this time we’re considering planning part of the trip around a festival or cultural celebration. We’ve been to Greece before, but we’ve never really organized a trip around a specific event.

I know Greece has so many interesting traditions throughout the year. Because of that, I’m starting to gather ideas early while we figure out where we might want to go.

Have any of you traveled to Greece specifically to experience a festival? If so, which ones would you recommend? It could be religious celebrations, food festivals, music events, or local village festivals.
I’d love to hear about any memorable festival experiences that might help us shape our 2026 plans.

Ferry vs flying between islands, what’s better?

I’ve always been a ferry guy when it comes to Greece, something about pulling into a port and seeing the island come into view just feels right. But this trip is a little different because I’m traveling with someone who gets pretty motion sick, so now I’m seriously considering flying between islands instead.

Curious what you guys think, ferry vs flying, what’s actually better?

I know ferries are part of the whole island-hopping experience, and they’re usually more flexible, but I’ve also had a couple rough rides when the water wasn’t calm. On the flip side, flights seem quicker and smoother, but maybe more hassle overall.

If you’ve done both, what would you recommend, especially in a situation like this? Is flying the smarter move, or are ferries still worth it if you plan carefully?

First-time visitor from Europe seeking late-night limo service at Columbus CMH Airport

I’m a citizen of Greece visiting the United States for the first time and will be arriving late at night at Columbus CMH Airport. Since this is my first visit, clear communication, safety, and a smooth luxury pickup process are very important to me. A friend of mine had a luxurious experience with a limo service called Luxury Ride LLC in Columbus, so that has set a good reference point for what I am hoping to find. I’m looking for a reliable limo or car service that is punctual and familiar with airport pickups, especially during late hours. Any recommendations or tips would be greatly appreciated.

When do you like to visit Greece?

I’ve been to Greece many times over the years, and while every season has its own kind of magic, I’ve fallen in love with the fall. The sea is still warm, the light turns golden, and the crowds have thinned just enough to make everything feel calm and intimate. There’s something about late September and October, that mix of relaxed locals, mild weather, and perfect taverna evenings, that keeps pulling me back.

But I’m curious what other travelers think. Do you prefer the high energy of summer, when beaches are buzzing and festivals are in full swing? Or do you love the quiet, authentic feel of winter, when villages slow down and locals have time to chat?

Spring also seems beautiful, with everything blooming and Easter celebrations filling the air.

What’s your favorite season to experience Greece, and why?
