Skopelos, the island in the first "Mamma Mia!" movie, is also becoming a popular honeymoon destination in Greece.
Everyone that watch this movie can appreciate the beauty of this island.

The Yacht is Quarantine of Delos.....she is amazingly versatile did many events in different circumstances, some too risky in serious weather conditions but we were experienced and the crew too!...In summer months we used to sail to Rhenia(Some body here was asking can they go to Rhenia?) as the captain's grand father had an old house which they cannot live there anymore I think but a place to have a barbecue and that island feeling with a handful people swimming in crystal clear waters, privacy and fun.

Not cheap!.... Depends on your budget, another option see the other one in the picture?, they do evenings and sunset mini cruising, some nice wine, canapés that sort of thing.
Or you can share with people and go beach barbecuing, remote inaccessible beaches....in Syros my friend has boat too!.. Good Morning from Thailand..

Good, remember golden rules,do not over load your schedule, don't go in July and August, don't get stressed about booking Excursions, they never get sold out...(I formulated and managed them), there is always something else to do, leave plenty of time to do nothing, remember it is a holiday and you are celebrating, not come home and need another holiday to recover from the previous over loaded one!...Have fun.❤️..... Good Morning from Thailand....In Mykonos there are fishing boats(Very cheap) travelling from Ornos and Platis Yalos beach until Kalo Livadi beach, you can go beach hopping, stay a while,move on lunch wherever your budget and feelings take you..!?

If you have very specific requirement about a particular Yacht or helicopters you might have make reservations, but even then an alternative can be located.... Also many choices of different things going on in Mykonos all summer long.... Later on when they are all settled down in reopening the island I will try inform you all here...

Is Greece easy to travel around without renting a car?

I’m trying to figure out whether it’s realistic to travel around Greece without renting a car. I’d prefer not to drive if I can avoid it, especially since I’m not familiar with the roads, parking, or driving customs there.

For those who have traveled around Greece using public transportation, how easy was it? I know there are buses, ferries, taxis, and domestic flights, but I’m wondering how practical they are once you get outside the main tourist areas. Did you ever feel limited by not having a car?

I’m also curious whether it makes sense to rely on public transportation for most of the trip and just rent a car for a day or two when needed. Are there certain types of places that are especially difficult to reach without one?

I’d love to hear from anyone who has done a Greece trip mostly or entirely without driving.

Is Island Hopping Worth the Effort?

I've been thinking about trying an island-hopping trip the next time I visit Greece, but I'm wondering if it's actually worth the extra planning and travel time. In the past I've usually picked one island and stayed there for the duration of my vacation, which has been relaxing and let me really get to know the area.

Part of me loves the idea of experiencing several islands in one trip since they each seem to have their own personality, food, scenery, and traditions. On the other hand, I wonder if constantly packing, catching ferries, and checking into new accommodations takes away from the experience.

For those of you who have island-hopped, did you feel it was worth it? How many islands did you visit, and did you wish you had spent more time in fewer places? I'd love to hear your itineraries, tips, and whether you'd do it the same way again.

Which Greek island feels the least touristy in the summer?

I know that July and August are busy almost everywhere in Greece, especially on the more famous islands, but I’m curious about places that still feel relatively local and relaxed even during peak season.

I’m not necessarily looking for somewhere completely empty. I’d just love an island where you can still find traditional villages, local tavernas, quieter beaches, and a slower pace without feeling like the entire island is built around tourism.

Have you visited an island in the summer that still felt authentic and not overly crowded? I’d especially be interested in places where locals still seem to set the rhythm of daily life rather than visitors.

Which island would you recommend, and what made it feel less touristy to you? Was it the beaches, villages, restaurants, fewer cruise ships, or just the overall atmosphere?

Family Car Services for First Timer in Boston

Hi everyone, I’m planning a family trip to Boston from Athens and was searching for car service from options airport to my hotel online. While exploring, I came across Blue Nile Livery. I also noticed their service is featured on Google and even highlighted on Forbes, along with positive reviews on several travel sites. Based on what I’ve seen there, their service seems good to me... Since this trip is with my family, I want something safe, comfortable, and punctual for airport transfers and city travel. I’d love to hear from anyone who has used a ride service in Boston. Do you think this would be a good choice for family travel?

Best food towns to visit in Greece?

I’ve started realizing that some of my favorite memories from Greece are connected to food more than anything else. Little tavernas, bakeries, seafood by the water, village meals that seemed simple but tasted incredible. It’s making me think that next time I go to Greece, I’d love to plan at least part of the trip around food.

I’m not fully sure yet if I’ll be going this summer, but I’ve been daydreaming about possible places to visit. What towns or regions in Greece do you think are especially great for food lovers?

I’d love recommendations for places known for traditional cooking, local specialties, seafood, baked goods, or just amazing tavernas in general. Islands, mainland towns, mountain villages — all recommendations are welcome.

Would especially love hearing about places that felt authentic and memorable rather than overly touristy.
