Insider's Guide to Greece

Greece offers a little bit of everything: ancient history, island escapes, and a laid-back way of life that’s easy to fall into. Athens mixes ruins with rooftop bars, while the Athenian Riviera adds beach clubs and coastal views that feel a world away. Santorini is all drama and romance, with cliffside hotels and sunset sails. Mykonos brings the energy, from beach parties to designer shops. Paros and Antiparos are more relaxed, with whitewashed towns and clear, swimmable water. Cruising lets you sample it all without packing and unpacking. 

Greece is right for every type of traveler, from couples and honeymooners, to families and groups looking for equal parts culture and coast. Read on to learn where to stay, what to do and how to plan your trip to Greece.
