Greece

The best time is April to June (spring) and September to October (fall) when the weather is pleasant, and crowds are smaller. July-August is peak season but very hot and busy.

Greece is part of the Schengen Zone. EU citizens do not need a visa, while travelers from the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, and others can stay visa-free for up to 90 days. Check visa requirements based on your nationality.

The top destinations to visit during your Greece Tour include: Athens (Acropolis, Parthenon), Santorini (Oia, Fira), Mykonos (beaches, nightlife), Crete (Chania, Heraklion, Elafonissi Beach), Delphi (ancient ruins), Meteora (monasteries on cliffs),  Zakynthos (Shipwreck Beach).

The perfect Greece Tour is from 5-7 days: Athens + 1-2 islands (e.g., Santorini & Mykonos) or 10-14 days: More islands + mainland highlights (Delphi, Meteora).

You can get around Greece during your Greece Tour by Ferries (the main mode between islands, book in advance), Domestic flights (Athens to Santorini/Mykonos/Crete)

Buses & trains (affordable for mainland travel), Renting a car (great for Crete, Peloponnese, but not needed on small islands)

Greece uses the Euro (€). Credit cards are widely accepted, but carry cash for small shops & islands.

You should pack Light, breathable clothing (summer is hot!), Comfortable walking shoes (cobblestone streets), Swimwear, sunscreen, hat, A light jacket (for evenings or spring/fall), and EU power adapter (Type C/F plugs)

Yes, especially in tourist areas, hotels, and restaurants. Learning basic Greek phrases (like "Efharistó" = Thank you) is appreciated.
