It is likely I will be spending time in Delphi this year - I want to see the site of the Oracle. Athens is my starting point and I was thinking, what else is there in the Delphi area, or within driving distance? I have seen very little of mainland Greece. Also on that trip I want to visit Marathon and Olympia - does it make sense? Delphi is a must-see for this time, but I could let the other two places go if I need to.

I urge you to visit the Hosios Loukas Monastery at Steiri! There are fantastic 11th-c. mosaics! Check out google maps.

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

Easy and safe access to the beaches and the sea is a right that should be guaranteed to everyone. Swimming and enjoying the beach should not be a luxury denied to people with disabilities and those wi

This is a major project and not going to happen everywhere overnight so to speak but it is a beginning very much needed for Greece!

Visit Aegina for a Few Nights?

I know that when in Athens, it is an easy ferry ride to Aegina. One can easily do the outing in a day ... but is that really wise? It seems like Aegina is a great place to visit and that there is actually a lot to do there.

I mean, I love the beach, so I can send a whole day at one beach alone.

My question is, do you think it is a good idea to spend like 3 nights or so there? I think it seems like a nice, quiet retreat. Since I have never been, at this point I am just speculating.

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.
