Every destination has its own personality. Here's our honest, local take.
Ask any of our drivers for the best taverna on the island. That's how you find the Greece that isn't in the brochures.The Happy Move team

Our tip: late May, June and September. The sea is warm, the islands are alive and you skip the August crowds.
In July and August, ferries sell out. Book your boat, and your ride to the port, as soon as your dates are set.
Islands have only a handful of taxis. In summer the queues at ports and airports get long, so pre-book your transfer.
The summer north wind can be strong. On windy days, south-facing beaches are usually calmer.
Flying into Athens and sailing the same day? Allow at least 2.5–3 hours between landing and your ferry.
Skip the menus with photos. Lunch late, dine after 9pm and always ask for the dish of the day.
Famous sunset spots get crowded an hour before sunset. Arrive early, or ask us for a quieter alternative.
Private airport and port transfers in Athens, Mykonos, Santorini, Paros, Naxos and Milos.
Late May to late June and September are ideal: warm weather, a swimmable sea and fewer crowds than July and August.
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.
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.
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.
