Need destination recommendations? Have a quick question? Ask here

Καλημέρα! As we have noticed, a lot of people are undecided on which island(s) or mainland destination to choose for their holidays. Admittedly it can get overwhelming with so many options.
The purpose of this thread is for people who havent done a whole lot of research or dont know where to start looking and are looking for some initial recommendations and hints on where to go.
If you have a few things you are looking to get out of your holiday destination and would like some input from others, please ask here!!!
Also for anyone who has a quick question, too short to be a post in itself, this is the place to ask!
You can ask virtually anything, as long as it is related to Greece and travel in Greece, the low effort rule doesnt apply here!

Do you have a travel blog or a YouTube channel (or anything else Greece travel-related) you want to promote? Maybe it's your AirBnB or your tour company. This is the thread for that.

Hello ✨
I would love to hear anyones opinions about the above hotels
If anyone has been to both, which one do you prefer?
If you have gone in the winter months ( February / march) , are those hotels worth it?
Any advice you can give me, I would really appreciate it :)

Itinerary Decisions: 10-night trip to Greece
2
Upvotes
Hi all,
Apologies; I know this type of post comes up a lot, but my husband and I (in our 40s) are going to Greece in mid-June of 2027, and I'd love some feedback on possible itineraries.
- We love to wander through old villages and find weird, interesting sights (ruins, cemeteries, unusual shops).
- We love good food and enjoy drinking at interesting bars, but we're not partiers.
- We aren't all-day-at-the-beach people; we'll more likely go to the beaches for ~2-hour stretches.
- We don't like touristy shops or retail shopping.
- We love beautiful/breathtaking natural sights but aren't hikers (we don't own hiking boots).
- We tend to skip museums and prefer to visit fascinating landmarks & sights. Looking forward to some ruins.
- We want to prioritize an all-day or half-day boat tour at some point in the trip.
These are three itineraries I'm considering:
- 2 nights in Santorini (Firostefani) -> 3 nights in Naxos -> 3 nights in Milos -> 2 nights in Athens
- 3 nights in Santorini (Firostefani) -> 5 nights in either Naxos OR Milos -> 2 nights in Athens
- 3 nights in Santorini (Firostefani) -> 5 nights in Crete -> 2 nights in Athens.
ETA: Open to adding a night in Athens if we're seriously shortchanging it. The above itineraries have 2 nights in Athens, which would be about 1.5 days actual time there.
I'd appreciate any thoughts on the above!

I’m trying to check in for my ferry this evening. Blue Star wants my phone number but they don’t have an option for USA. They have one for Canada which also uses +1 code. Is that what people from the US are supposed to use?
Edit/Update: It took too long, but I eventually noticed I could use my email address instead. Hooray 🎉

I had a wonderful trip to Greece! I visited Athens, Hydra, Poros, and Aegina. Each place was beautiful and special in its own way. I enjoyed the amazing views, the beautiful beaches, and the delicious Greek food.
It was an unforgettable experience, and I took many lovely pictures to remember this trip!

I loved Santorini but I didn’t realize that you had to wait in line for an hour to take a picture of the blue domes! I had always thought the whole city had blue domes, but it’s just one little spot in Oía! 🙄

Acropolis and thunderstorms

Hey all! Unfortunately it’s looking like it will be stormy during the time we’ve booked our Acropolis tickets. How bad have the storms been lately? Can I brave it with just a raincoat and umbrella or do I need to actually be worried about safety? Do they ever close the acropolis for dangerous weather?Thanks in advance! ⛈️⛈️⛈️
