Optimistic POVs

Throughout the years, the Greek Islands have kept their village feel, slow, and charming pace of life. Most of the islands have complete, well-suited atmosphere that tourists find relaxing while absorbing themselves in the passionate history and character of Greece.

Planning a vacation in Greece is not tight on the budget because it is one of the cheapest countries to travel in Europe. Reasonable food and accommodation costs can be found at almost any place you stay in.

The Best Time to Take a Trip to the Greek Islands

Summer heat in Greece invite people from different parts of the globe and it can be intense! The crowds can be extreme this time of the year. On the other hand, winter may be met with few travelers because restaurants and hotels close this time of the year. However, vacation packages still cater visitors with winter sports activities. April, May (spring) and September (autumn) can be regarded as the best time to spend your holidays at Greece and the Greek Islands.

The Top 4 popular Greek Island vacation destinations include:

Splendid Santorini

The best place in Athens is Santorini. Check out the black volcanic sand at Kamari Beach and Perissa Beach. Enjoy the historical villages of Akroti and Pyrgos. Indulge and unwind in the volcanic hot springs that is just one boat away!

Santorini is one of the best places to spend a romantic evening. Decide on one of the dozens of
restaurant available at a near distance. Watch the sun set on the Aegean Sea while enjoying your drink and meal together. Hotels offer great views of the ocean all to set a romantic ambience for you and your special someone. It feels like you’ve just been part of a wonderful fairytale!

Truly, Santorini will be one of those places in your travels that you will never forget. No other word can best describe it - it is just stunningly beautiful.

Infamous Mykonos

Party fanatics will surely enjoy Mykonos. The best time to visit Mykonos will be in May or September.

Paros is worth a couple of days stay. A few minutes isn’t enough as you experience its relaxed pace and its great beaches. Strolling along the hills and coastline after visiting the picturesque village of Naoussa is a great way to unwind. Greek Island Vacation Tips

Greek Time is Chill Out Time. Relax, give yourself time to mingle and get around. Loose yourself to the carefree lifestyle of the Greeks.

Protect yourself and pack sunscreen. You’re in for a heat-scorching summer (and even spring) in Greece.

Eating late. Greeks are known for 10pm dinners. Choose whether you dine late or early. Greek cuisine is to die for!

Greek Ferries. Sailing through the Greek Islands is more economical with Greek Ferries. Service is good and fares are reasonable. All you have to do is pick an island!

Pack your suitcases! Jumpstart your summer and spend your vacation in Greece!
