Plan

Build a Greece itinerary

Choose up to three islands or regions and how many days you have. You get a day-by-day plan from the places in our guide — a sight, a beach and a taverna each day, kept to one part of the island — with honest transfer days between destinations. We tell you how to travel between them; for times, always check the ferry operator.

Worth booking in Athens & the Riviera

Acropolis ticketsEntry to the Acropolis runs on timed slots. Book the first one of the morning — before the heat and the cruise groups.Acropolis with a guideThe Parthenon explains itself visually; a guide explains everything else, including the rest of the hill.Cape Sounion at sunsetThe Temple of Poseidon above the sea at the end of the Athens Riviera — the drive along the coast is half the point.

Where to stay in Athens & the Riviera

Live prices and availability on a map centred on this exact spot — hotels, studios and villas — so you can judge the distance to the beach, the port or the village from here rather than guess from an address.

Bookings made through this map earn us a commission. Your price is unaffected.

Athens pairs the Acropolis and some of the world’s great museums with a working, late-night city and a coastline of beaches and coves running south to the Temple of Poseidon at Sounion. It is also where most Greek island trips begin.

Worth booking in Evia

The Dimosari gorgeAround ten kilometres downhill from the saddle below Mount Ochi to the sea, through plane trees and waterfalls. Arrange the taxi at the bottom first.A day out of AthensNo ferry needed: you drive over the bridge at Chalkida in about an hour and a quarter, and Eretria's excavations are an hour and a half from the Acropolis.The springs at EdipsosA spa town since antiquity — Strabo and Plutarch wrote about it. Hot water still runs out of the rock into the sea, free to anyone who sits in it.

The island you drive onto over a bridge. Evia is 180 km long, with thermal springs at Edipsos, a gorge running off a 1,398 m mountain to the sea, and beaches that Athenians keep to themselves at weekends.
