Planning a Trip to Greece: Essential Travel Tips & Insights

Get expert travel insights for Greece - discover the best time to visit, ideal trip duration, and must-visit destinations to help you plan and customize your perfect tour.

When to go to Greece

While Greece has a pleasant climate and is a joy to visit throughout the year, the high volume of tourists during the peak summer season may dent your enjoyment of a Greece custom tour. Therefore, the best time to visit would be during the “shoulder months” of April-May and September-October. In addition to having fewer tourists, these months will greet you with warm and balmy temperatures, between 24°C and 29°C, making them the perfect time to visit and enjoy the coastal areas and many islands of Greece. Learn more .

How long to stay in Greece

Greece is filled to the brim with both excitement and relaxation. So, no matter how long your Greece custom tour is, it will never seem to be enough. However, a seven-day tour that takes you from historical sites, like Athens, to the coastal regions like Santorini should give you an ample taste of Greece’s essence. Likewise, a two-week trip would give you the freedom to explore well-known highlights like Delphi as well as the more obscure ones like Ikaria at your own pace.

Must-visit destinations in Greece

Greece is no less than a paradise when it comes to breathtaking destinations comprising picturesque coastlines, historic landmarks, and bustling cities. Marvel at the monasteries (and the Byzantine art pieces that they are home to) that stand precariously on the edge of giant rock formations in Meteora. Take either an energetic swim or a soothing walk on the pristine beaches of Rhodes. Hire a boat and go island hopping across the North Aegean islands of Chios, Lesbos, Samos, Icaria, and Lemnos—each holding its own set of attractions, from brisk medieval villages to quiet sandy coves. When in a country with a rich cultural history like Greece, it would be a cardinal sin to leave without experiencing some of it. So, makes sure to include sightseeing excursions through historic landmarks, like the Temple of Zeus in Athens, the ruins of Knossos in Crete, and the Temple of Apollo in Delphi, in your next Greece custom tour.

I was born and raised in Istanbul, as were my parents, however my family roots are from Trabzon in the Black Sea area. Apart from travel, I also love to sail, and this is something I make sure I do every year. I have been working in travel with the same company since I was a student at university, where I worked part-time as a trainee. I have moved in many different departments; I started as a receptionist and moved to operations, then customer relations, and I’ve even been a tour leader! But I love being a travel consultant and designing new tours and custom itineraries for our travelers. Since I have been working in the same company for the last 13 years, I guess I am doing the right job!

Excellent tour leader, driver and local guides. Very good coverage of ancient archaeological sites and history. Interesting included free activities such as the bee farm and olive farm with typical Greek food and dancing. Welcome and farewell dinners were included. Hotels were very good.

We'd so enjoyed Walking the Corfu Trail - North previously that we returned to walk the south and we were not disappointed. The trail is great and takes you away from most of the main resorts into a more hidden Corfu. It offers a mix of coastline, hills and villages with wonderful views and we enjoyed the flora and fauna encountered along the way too. I cant say that some stretches were a bit demanding but the good natured guide and group helped us all along! Accommodation was fine, some offering more frills than others, but all entirely adequate for a trip like this. The guide, Spiros, was excellent, managing the group well, offering practical help and support as well as his insights into Corfu’s history and culture - he really made the trip a success!

We like Explore! because of the small group mode of all the tours we've done with Explore! (5, so far). The Greek Island Wanderer was 5 guests and a guide, and we had 3 in our party. So, it was the smallest group ever for us. But it was like friends taking a tour and one of them happened to be a local expert. Panajotis was a brilliant tour guide who is passionate about his adopted country. I can't say enough about the tour guide, Pan. The calm nature he presented while the gears were turning in his head to find us the best places for history, the views, the coffee shops and restaurants plus the people of the places we visited. He figured out how to accommodate me and my need for MORE and my wife who's a marathoner but a shopper too. Plus, our cousin Gary with a physical limitation and a lady fresh out of an April surgery who was a total Champ. Folks could dial into all they wanted or chill out with the options Pan offered for 2 weeks. Just brilliant. Overall, the tour was fantastic, so my inputs are really only the stand-out goods or bads. Starting in Athens, the Evripides Hotel was a great choice. The location and the facility offered everything we needed. Initially, it seemed to be in a bad part of town, but it turns out that Athens just looks like that all over and its just fine. The location is unbeatable. We loved the long walks through Athens despite the heat. My wife would have added a few more water or refreshment stops. We absolutely loved the ferries. That's something new for Americans. The schedule was nice between islands allowing just enough time to really see the top spots. We also loved taking the night ferry to Paros. The Mykonos option was fun because of the Super Express Ferry, and we skipped the ruins stop. I’d have been happier staying on Naxos for that day but, indeed, Mykonos is a must-see on most folks list, so I’d do it again. I’d call it marginal. The Francois Hotel on Syros was a low spot. Its very small and the shower stall was ridiculous. We were glad to move on. Each island had its own charm, and the accommodation was just right in all the other places. On Santorini, Pan took us into an art Gallery where he knows the proprietors. I'm a rather-be-hiking guy but my wife and our cousin thoroughly enjoyed that visit. They both suggested more museum and gallery stops. Again, Panajotis made the trip what it was. I’m glad we had him almost all to ourselves even though we usually consider that the other guests and their experiences and conversation to easily be 50% of the reason for traveling in the first place. We’ll be perusing the Explore! Website soon for our next adventure.
