The best time to visit

Local tips for a stress-free trip
Book ferries early
In July and August, ferries sell out. Book your boat, and your ride to the port, as soon as your dates are set.
Taxis are few
Islands have only a handful of taxis. In summer the queues at ports and airports get long, so pre-book your transfer.
Mind the meltemi
The summer north wind can be strong. On windy days, south-facing beaches are usually calmer.
Leave a buffer
Flying into Athens and sailing the same day? Allow at least 2.5–3 hours between landing and your ferry.
Eat like a local
Skip the menus with photos. Lunch late, dine after 9pm and always ask for the dish of the day.
Sunsets fill up
Famous sunset spots get crowded an hour before sunset. Arrive early, or ask us for a quieter alternative.

Good to know
What is the best time to visit the Greek islands?
Late May to late June and September are ideal: warm weather, a swimmable sea and fewer crowds than July and August.
Which island is best for a first visit to Greece?
For a first trip, combine Athens with Paros or Naxos. Both are easy to reach, great value and close to other islands. Add Santorini or Mykonos if you want the iconic views or the nightlife.
How do I get from Athens to the islands?
By ferry from the ports of Piraeus or Rafina, or by a short domestic flight. All six destinations in this guide have an airport. We can take you from Athens Airport straight to your ferry gate.
Do I need to rent a car on the islands?
Not necessarily. On smaller islands you can combine local buses, transfers and boat tours. A car helps on bigger islands like Naxos if you want to explore the villages.
