Greece

Greece is where ancient history and sun-drenched island life converge in one of the world's most storied travel destinations. From the marble ruins of Athens and Delphi to the whitewashed villages clinging to volcanic cliffs in Santorini, every corner of the country offers a layer of civilization waiting to be discovered. Add a coastline that stretches across hundreds of inhabited islands, and Greece rewards travelers who come for a week just as generously as those who return for a lifetime.

  • Ancient ruins & mythology
  • Aegean island-hopping
  • Fresh Mediterranean cuisine
  • Iconic blue-domed churches
  • Olive groves & vineyards
  • Crystal-clear turquoise waters
Best time to visit
Late April through June and September through October offer the most pleasant weather — warm and sunny without the intense heat and peak crowds of midsummer.
Ideal trip length
10–14 days, giving you enough time to explore Athens and its ancient sites, ferry between two or three islands, and still settle in long enough to enjoy each place at a leisurely pace.
Pairs well with
ItalyTurkeyCroatia
Good to know
Island-hopping is best navigated by ferry, and booking ahead during summer months secures your preferred routes and cabin class — the Cyclades (Mykonos, Naxos, Paros) and the Dodecanese (Rhodes, Kos, Patmos) each have a distinct personality worth exploring. A few words of Greek go a long way; locals light up when visitors make even a small effort with "efharisto" (thank you).
