The timeless appeal of island hopping around Greece - Screeny - There are around two hundred Greek islands to visit and every one of them has something unique to offer. No other country in the world has scattered its treasures so abundantly around itself. So far I’ve managed only about 30 of them, but this year I added three more to the tally by visiting the Sporades archipelago. Skiathos is easily reached – there are direct flights from Gatwick and Manchester – and makes for a good starting point. The island is famous for its superb beaches.
Why Greece Is Best Seen by Boat - Conde Nast - Our journey ended where it began, in Kos Town. Here, the ruins of the ancient agora (marketplace) stand next to the modern-day equivalent, where locals sell thyme honey and powdery loukoumi (the Greek version of Turkish Delight). Kos is an easy enough town to explore on foot, with its winding cobbled alleyways full of trinket shops, and town square where the medieval Phoros Gate is stocked with perfumed Aubrieta flowers. Visit the Tree of Hippocrates, where the Greek physician taught his pupils, then stop at Aegli Cafe, the island’s first women’s cooperative. Everything served here is made on the island, including fresh fennel seed biscotti and garlicky tzatziki.
A Tranquil Oasis in Greece - NYT - As a Greek-American who visits Greece frequently, I was a bit disheartened that the hotel did not pay greater homage to the country’s rich history and culture in its décor, music and even TV channels.

The Stunning Blue Caves of Zakynthos Island- Popsugar - The arches formed thousands of years ago through erosion. Their geological formations are noteworthy alone, but the name comes from the hue of the sea that reflects onto the cave walls. The largest cave, Kianoun, can be visited by boat, and many of the boats are available to tourists for rent. You can swim around the caves yourself...
Serifos, Greece: great interiors, even better outdoors - The Guardian - How do you choose which Greek island to visit? There are thousands, and of course the most famous cannot be the best. For unspoilt beauty, you need a tip-off, and for one that has a little more life, you follow those in the know: the Athenians...
Best places to visit in Greece on a Road Trip - Daves Travel - I love it when people ask me what are the best places to visit in Greece on a road trip. I always reply with ‘how long have you got'? And this answer applies to both how long it will take me to answer, and the length of the road trip the person has in mind. I like a challenge though, and so I have put two lists and four road trip itineraries together.
