Aegean Islands Travel Planning
Paros is a relatively popular Greek island, lying in the middle of the Cyclades archipelago. Unlike its neighbors Santorini and Mykonos, it is a pretty laid-back destination. Most tourists visit Paros for its sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters. Thus, it can be crowded in the summer months. If you are into culture, great food, and…
Mykonos is a fancy island where tourists from all around the world come to show off. Of course we have nothing against beautiful people having fun. Most shops, restaurants, bars and discos have a posh feel with hardly any budget options around. It was so much fun strolling about the city’s cobbled streets looking for…
If there’s one image that most of us associate with Greece, it’s that of a whitewashed village on a Cycladic island. The unique architecture of these stunning islands is one of the reasons why we fell in love with Greece. Everybody knows Santorini and Mykonos. They are among the most popular Greek islands. However, there…
Rhodes is one of our favorite islands. We’ve visited in all seasons and always had a great time. The island has it all: spectacular nature, UNESCO sites, delicious food, fantastic hotels and warm hosts. Rhodes Town with its ancient sites will take your breath away. Lindos is one of Greece’s most beautiful towns. Besides, the…
The first time we got to Mykonos we were not that impressed. Granted, the beaches are super nice and the vibe is fun. However, we thought it was a bit overpriced and crowded. What made us change our minds was Delos, one of the most important archaeological sites in Greece. In fact, going to Delos…
Ermoupoli is one of the most beautiful small towns in Greece. Founded during the Greek War of Independence by refugees from other islands, it soon became the country’s main port and a major commercial center. The city flourished throughout the 19th Century, and many buildings from that period give it a distinct neoclassical appearance. Though…
The first time we visited Tinos we were shocked to discover that it’s one of the less touristy Greek islands. Even though it’s part of the Cyclades Archipelago, it receives far less tourists than Mykonos, directly in front. You see, Greece is so beautiful and has so many islands that you can always find the…
Rhodes is one of the most popular and famous Greek islands. And for good reason: it’s truly stunning. The island combines breathtaking nature with superb historic architecture. Not only that, but its restaurants and bars are some of the best in the country. We visited Rhodes several times, including in winter. Once, we went with…
If you dreamed about the perfect little town, in the perfect Greek island, then Parikia is for you. The settlement has all that makes Greece famous: archaeology, beaches, blue domes, cute plazas, whitewashed houses, delicious food and warm hosts. Parikia is one of our favorite spots in the Cycladas. Though not fully under the radar,…
Serifos has a special place in our hearts. It was one of the first islands we visited before moving to Greece. Now that we live in Athens, we visit regularly. Since it’s only 62 miles (100 km) from the port of Piraeus it’s easy for us to go. In fact, we try to go to…
You have to go on a day trip to Lindos from Rhodes Town. Now, if you have time, spend the night. Lindos is one of the cutest and most impressive little towns in all of Greece. Besides, the atmosphere is magical. Lindos has everything Greece is famous for: pristine beaches, historic architecture, gorgeous nature, delicious…
We moved to Greece 6 years ago. One of the first islands we visited was Rhodes and its beautiful capital. There are so many things to do in Rhodes Town that we go back all the time. Greece’s fourth biggest island has it all: culture, food, archaeology, beaches and warm hosts. Not only that, but…
