Greece

Late spring and early autumn suit sightseeing and island trips; some island services are reduced outside summer.

Summers are generally hot and dry; carry sun protection and water, especially when visiting exposed ruins.

Island accommodation and peak-season ferries can be costly; booking ahead and travelling outside summer may save money.

Ferries and domestic flights link islands, while buses serve many mainland routes; rural connections can be limited.

Visit Athens’ Acropolis, Delphi’s sanctuary and Meteora’s monasteries; island highlights include Santorini and Crete.

Take care on hot, uneven archaeological sites and check local advice during periods of wildfire risk.
