Classic Greek Islands
The most-loved Greek route, Athens' ancient heart, Mykonos' beaches and Delos, and Santorini's caldera sunsets.
Ancient history and island light
Greece is the cradle of Western civilization, where ancient wonders meet dazzling islands and turquoise seas. The Acropolis crowns Athens, while Santorini's caldera views, Meteora's cliff-top monasteries, and the ruins of Delphi and Olympia span millennia of history and myth. Whitewashed villages, sun-soaked beaches, and celebrated cuisine draw travelers year after year. Warm hospitality and a relaxed island pace complete the appeal.
The landmarks that shape a journey through Greece, explore them on the map.
The best times to visit Greece are late spring, in May and June, and early autumn, in September and October, when the weather is warm, the sea is swimmable, and crowds are thinner than midsummer. July and August are hot and very busy, especially on the popular islands. Winter is mild in Athens and the south but quiet on the islands, with many services reduced. Shoulder seasons offer the best balance of climate and value.
