Greece – A travelogue
Greece, is beautiful any time of the year, though summer is the best time to visit for a quintessential Greek experience. While Athens is the ideal place to learn about Greek Mythology, the Greek Islands should be your go-to for truly authentic Greek culture and beauty. It’s difficult to discuss all the Greek islands in a blog post, so I’ll talk about Mykonos and Santorini.
Season to visit – The best season to visit Greece is during summer. This is when you can make the most of the beautiful beaches in Santorini, and Mykonos is in full swing with all its parties and a lot of young crowds that visit the place every year. Since Greece has some of the most beautiful beaches, the best parties and most tourists come around during the summer months.
Transportation to the islands – There are two ways to reach the islands in Greece, from Athens: Ferries and flights. These ferries are more like tiny cruise ships, with comfortable seating inside, Wi-Fi available on purchase, and restaurants, as well as storage space and space to transport vehicles on the cruise. Each cabin accommodates four people. Also, Flights are a viable option for transportation in case if you wish to avoid the hassle of ferries.
Places to stay – In Santorini, the best places to stay are Fira or Oia, though the hotels here are quite expensive. If you’re willing to consider anything beyond the typical tourist spots. In Mykonos, opt for a hotel that’s close to the bus stop. From beach cabins to apartments, you can pick one that works for you.
Food – The food that you can try is Souvlaki, Gyros, Greek Salad served with Pita Bread, Taramosalata at a local tavern. Do not forget to try Moussaka. The Greek food is delicious, fresh vegetables and olive oil are widely used.
Here I share a small video on my Greek experience, I was so much in love with the place that I wish this whole corona crisis gets over and I get to re-experience this beautiful land once again.
Very useful information one need to see before travelling to Greece.
