01Sample routes
Illustrative only. Nights, order and islands all change to fit you.
| Route | Nights | Best | Stops |
|---|---|---|---|
| The classic, done betterYou still get the caldera, for one night at the end, from a good room. Before that come the beaches of Milos and the quiet of Folegandros. | 10 | Late May–June, September |
|
| Green and calm, for high summerOutside the meltemi, with calm coves and boat days, then up into the cool stone villages of Epirus. | 10 | July–August | |
| The mainland and one islandMycenae, Epidaurus and a night inside the walls of Monemvasia, then three car-free nights on Hydra. | 9 | April–June, September–October |
|
| Crete, slowlyOne island, no ferries: a Venetian harbour, a car-free village on the Libyan Sea, and long lunches inland. | 10 | May–June, September–October |
|
| Mountains to the seaAn oracle, monasteries on rock pillars and a gorge walk, then four days of doing nothing on a green island. | 12 | May–June, September |
02Our rules of thumb
- 01 Three nights on most islands A ferry day takes most of a day, so arrive and then stay put. The exception is a single last night somewhere for the view, such as the caldera.
- 02 Two islands, maybe three, in ten days One you have heard of, one you haven’t.
- 03 Spend on the room where you’ll spend the evenings A good terrace matters more than a big lobby.
03When to go
- Warm sea by June, long days, wildflowers on the mainland
- May–Jun
- The warmest sea of the year, fewer families, softer light
- Sep
- Busy, hot and windy in the Aegean: choose the Ionian or the mountains
- Jul–Aug
- Crete, the Dodecanese and the mainland are lovely; smaller islands begin to close
- Oct
04Getting married in Greece?
Civil and religious ceremonies are both possible, but the paperwork depends on your nationality.
It also changes over time. We can introduce you to local planners and help with timing. We won’t promise anything about the legal side until it has been checked for your case.
