From Athens and its Acropolis to the monasteries of Meteora; from the whitewashed Cycladic villages to Crete\u2019s Venetian ports and the Ionian Islands, each region has a strong identity. Expect deep-blue seas, golden coves, thyme-scented mountains, olive groves and blazing sunsets \u2014 a setting made for trips that mix culture, swimming, hiking and effortless relaxation. Archaeology lovers will treasure Delphi, Epidaurus, Mycenae and Knossos; island-hoppers can alternate Santorini, Paros, Naxos, Milos, Rhodes or Corfu; while mainland Greece reveals gems such as the Peloponnese, Epirus and Halkidiki.<\/p>\r\n<p style=\"color: #000000;font-size: medium\" data-start=\"990\" data-end=\"1591\">Greece also wins hearts with its convivial lifestyle: seaside tavernas, feta-bright salads, grilled fish, meze, olive oil, local wines and honeyed pastries. The main season runs April\u2013October (peak in July\u2013August); May\u2013June and September offer kind weather with fewer crowds. Ferries, domestic flights and scenic roads make it easy to combine mainland and islands. With accommodation for every budget \u2014 guesthouses, boutique hotels, cave suites and family villas \u2014 and landscapes that change from rugged coasts to alpine peaks, it\u2019s simple to craft a tailor-made trip for couples, friends or families.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"color: #000000;letter-spacing: normal\" data-start=\"1593\" data-end=\"1635\">\ud83d\uddfa\ufe0f Practical information about Greece<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"color: #000000;font-size: medium\" data-start=\"1637\" data-end=\"2341\">\ud83d\udccd <strong data-start=\"1640\" data-end=\"1651\">Capital<\/strong>: Athens<br data-start=\"1659\" data-end=\"1662\" \/>\ud83d\udc65 <strong data-start=\"1665\" data-end=\"1679\">Population<\/strong>: Around 10.3 million inhabitants<br data-start=\"1712\" data-end=\"1715\" \/>\ud83d\udcb6 <strong data-start=\"1718\" data-end=\"1730\">Currency<\/strong>: Euro (\u20ac)<br data-start=\"1740\" data-end=\"1743\" \/>\ud83d\udde3\ufe0f <strong data-start=\"1747\" data-end=\"1768\">Official language<\/strong>: Greek (English widely spoken in tourist areas)<br data-start=\"1816\" data-end=\"1819\" data-is-only-node=\"\" \/>\u23f0 <strong data-start=\"1821\" data-end=\"1834\">Time zone<\/strong>: UTC +2 (winter) \/ UTC +3 (summer)<br data-start=\"1869\" data-end=\"1872\" \/>\ud83c\udf21\ufe0f <strong data-start=\"1876\" data-end=\"1887\">Climate<\/strong>: Mediterranean \u2014 hot, dry summers; mild winters; cooler and mountainous inland<br data-start=\"1966\" data-end=\"1969\" \/>\u26f4\ufe0f <strong data-start=\"1972\" data-end=\"1998\">Getting there &amp; around<\/strong>: Major airports in Athens, Thessaloniki, Heraklion, Santorini, Rhodes, Corfu; dense ferry network between islands<br data-start=\"2112\" data-end=\"2115\" \/>\ud83c\udfdb\ufe0f <strong data-start=\"2119\" data-end=\"2133\">Highlights<\/strong>: Athens (Acropolis &amp; museums), Delphi, Epidaurus, Mycenae, Meteora, Peloponnese (Nafplio, Monemvasia), Cyclades (Santorini, Paros, Naxos, Milos), Crete, Dodecanese (Rhodes), Ionian Islands (Corfu), Halkidiki<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"color: #000000;letter-spacing: normal\" data-start=\"2343\" data-end=\"2376\">\ud83c\udfe8 Find a good hotel in Greece<\/h2>\r\n<p style=\"color: #000000;font-size: medium\" data-start=\"2378\" data-end=\"2677\">Whether your itinerary focuses on Athens and ancient sites, the Cyclades, Crete, the Ionian Islands or the Peloponnese, there\u2019s a stay for every style (sea-view, boutique, family, eco-friendly). \ud83c\udf1f <strong data-start=\"2578\" data-end=\"2616\"><a class=\"decorated-link\" href=\"https:\/\/booking.tp.st\/aRr17V52\" rel=\"noopener\" data-start=\"2580\" data-end=\"2614\">See the best hotels in Greece<\/a><\/strong> to compare offers, reviews and prices for your travel dates.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"color: #000000;letter-spacing: normal\" data-start=\"2679\" data-end=\"2708\">\ud83d\uddfa\ufe0f Articles about Greece<\/h3>\r\n<p style=\"color: #000000;font-size: medium\" data-start=\"2710\" data-end=\"2882\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Below, you\u2019ll find our <strong data-start=\"2733\" data-end=\"2771\">selection of articles about Greece<\/strong>, followed by the <strong data-start=\"2789\" data-end=\"2805\">latest posts<\/strong>, to help you plan your trip and explore the country\u2019s most beautiful places.<\/p>","link":"https:\/\/destinations-europe.com\/en\/category\/visit-greece\/","name":"GREECE","slug":"visit-greece","taxonomy":"category","parent":0,"meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Travelling in Greece | Guides and tips, from Athens to Santorin<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Traveling to Greece guarantees a piece of summer all year round.
