When Should You Travel to Greece?

While you can visit many of Greece’s most beautiful islands year-round, from Crete to Corfu, the winter low season brings closures for less popular spots. Peak summer season has the crowds descending, so the best time to visit Greece is the shoulder season – more specifically, the end of spring (May) and early autumn (September), when you can still expect warm, sunny days with fewer crowds and plenty of time to enjoy the scenery.

Where Should You Visit in Greece?

If you’re booking a trip to Greece, it’s safe to assume you’ll be passing through the capital. A sprawling cultural hub, stuffed with ancient ruins, Athens is as appealing to history buffs as it is to avid foodies and lovers of nightlife. Island-hoppers should book to walk the white-washed streets of Santorini, and the adventurous may choose to visit the spectacular shipwreck cove of Zakynthos. Mykonos is a must-visit for night-owls, while the more reflective crowd may wish to travel to the north of the mainland on a pilgrimage to the soaring monasteries of Meteora. For aspiring archaeologists, Crete cannot be missed with its plentiful ruins.

Greece’s Best Beaches

It’s nearly impossible to narrow down the list of Greece’s best beaches. On Zakynthos, Navagio Beach boasts crystalline waters, dreamy sands and an exciting shipwreck to boot. Among the many options on Mykonos, Platys Gialos is one of the most easily accessible and resort-ready for travellers seeking a one-stop Greek Islands shop. In the popular resort region of Paleokastritsa, nearby Corfu Town, the sigh-worthy beaches are the stuff of legend – specifically the myth of Odysseus. On Crete, pink-tinged sands stretch along Elafonisi, welcoming weary travellers eager for a refreshing dip in the shimmering waters.
