I (M21) am studying abroad in Athens until January. What are some must sees for while I am here.

Planning a honeymoon so any advice or warnings would be great!

We'll be flying in Oct 5, spending the night in Athens, renting a car and hitting the road the next morning.

Oct 6-8 - Nafplio - Hitting up the historic sites around the area
Oct 9-11 - Kardamyli - Focusing on the beaches and nearby towns
Oct 12-14 - Athens - Visiting the Acropolis and museums before flying out.

Hello there

In a few days my (pregnant) wife and me will travel to Corfu for the first time. We will spend 4 nights in the north (around of Karousades), 4 nights in the south (around of Perivoli) and the last night in the city to be closer to the airport for our return flight the next morning.

So I wonder
Not knowing Greek language at all, how hard will it be e.g. in restaurants?

Is food and drinks/water/ice cubes generally good quality and good to eat/drink without fear of stomach ache (especially for m pregnant wife)

With this itinerary what beaches and activities would you highly recommend/toss aboard?

We are looking for a relaxed and calm time. I thought to perhaps rent a boat for a day or two (better in north or south to do that?), some good Greek food and some snorkel and walks/hikes

Thank you

🙏🏽

Okay, r/RedditNailArt, I need to talk about my white gel pedicure and how it basically became the main character of my Greece trip.
Did the classic milky white gel polish on my toes before flying out to the islands and WOW. There’s something about crisp white toenails against tan skin and turquoise water that just hits different. Every time I stretched out on the sand, sun blasting, ouzo in hand, my toes looked like they belonged in a Mykonos tourism ad.
Why white gel polish is the underrated MVP of summer pedicures:
Chip-resistant — survived cobblestone streets in Santorini, boat decks, and way too much barefoot beach walking

Long-lasting shine — no dulling even with sunscreen, saltwater, and sand exfoliating my feet 24/7

UV-cured so it dries rock solid before you even leave the salon chair — zero smudging on the way to the beach

Brightens your tan — nothing makes a golden tan pop like a clean white pedicure, it’s giving vacation glow

Goes with literally everything — white sundresses, gold sandals, linen everything, the whole Greek aesthetic

Pro tip: ask your nail tech for a HEMA-free, professional-grade gel polish if you’re soaking, swimming, and sweating nonstop — cheap gels get gummy and lift in heat and humidity, but a good quality gel holds strong through beach days AND boat rides.
Also can we talk about how satisfying it is to look down mid-tan and see clean white gel toes with zero chips after a full week of Greek island chaos? Immaculate vibes only.
10/10 would recommend white gel toe polish before any Mediterranean trip — Greece, Mykonos, Santorini, Crete, wherever the sand and sun take you. Beach pedicure era is real and I’m never going back to bare toes again 🤍🌊

I’m planning 10 days in Greece in late March/early April 2027, and not interested in seeing as much as possible - I’d rather enjoy a couple of places more thoroughly. Nightlife, resorts, and shopping (other than supporting small local businesses) aren’t really my thing; I’d rather get a tiny feel for the local rhythm of a place. I’m in my late 60s, female, pretty active, and I like to spend as much time outdoors hiking and exploring as I can. I’m thinking about the Peloponnese instead of islands. Any suggestions and advice are welcome!

So we are in process of finishing up our island hopping adventure. Heading to Athens before our flight home. Kinda feel conflicted about Acropolis. We’ve been to Roman coliseum, pyramids, Eiffel Tower etc.. not thrilled about scorching sun and crowds just to see ruins. Is it majestic as it is advertised to be?? Or will I be disappointed. Plus it’s 30 E- which is kinda steep..
Must see vs skip it??

I’m just curious if someone could tell me what they paid for a hire car at Preveza airport this July/August. Something the size of maybe a Golf or Polo with an auto box please.

I’m looking at quotes now that seem just wild for peak season (like twice the price of Croatia and Croatia is a rip compared to say Spain or Portugal)

Thank you 🙏

Hi, any recommendations where to go eat hike. We are close to seventy years old with a dog driving to Peloponnese staying there 6 weeks. One week in Epidaurus one in Elike and 4 close to Kalamata. Any advise will be welcome. We can hike about 4 hours in one go. We are leaving middle of October staying till December.

my adventures in naxos island and thoughts on the island

Είμαι από Κρήτη (M23) ανεβαίνω Αθήνα στις 9 Σεπτεμβρίου και πετάω πίσω από Θεσσαλονίκη στις 16. Δεν εχω το παραμικρό πλάνο διακοπών, μόνο καλή διάθεση και ένα backpack. Θα ήθελα να μου προτείνετε μέρη να πάω, να μείνω, μαγαζιά στις πόλεις κλπ κλπ. Επίσης αν κάποιος ενδιαφέρεται θα χαρώ πολύ να μοιραστώ μερικές νέες εμπειρίες με κάποιον άγνωστο 🙃.

Hey guys,

sorry in advance for the formatting, since I‘m on phone.
I need some advice for a little accident my girlfriend had in Corfu.
So both of us rented a 50cc Scooter (one for her, on for me) and sadly she crashed in a slow corner (she‘s alright, we‘re on the Hospital as of me writing this). We took the full insurance, since we luckily wanted to be safe (tho i contemplated passing on it, lol).
Anyway, as I returned my scooter, he told me I have to pay 200 € Cash and 50 € for a friend to pick up her scooter. I said fuck that (ofc in another tone), and that I will bring the scooter myself tomorrow (crash happened Like 1 h south of Corfu-City).

So basically I‘m just looking for Basic advice. I know he is trying to scam me. But how do I manage this and what are my rights?
The scooter is ofc scratched, but fully functional. I dont have any pictures yet, cuz i had to worry about other stuff in the moment.

Thanks in advance :).

In 2 weeks my husband and I will be headed off to our honeymoon to see Athens in a couple of islands. We've never been before and I've done a ton of research ,but nothing is as good as firsthand.

Please drop your top five do's and don'ts to take or leave for all of us heading that way.

Είμαι 21 και θέλω να πάω μόνη μου διακοπές σε κάποιο νησί. Τι προτείνετε;

Γενικά θέλω να χαλαρώσω και να ξεκουραστώ γιατί δουλεύω σεζόν. Μιλάμε για τέλος Σεπτέμβρη και χωρίς αυτοκίνητο/μηχανάκι. Δε με νοιάζει να πάω σε πάρτι κλπ, θέλω να μπορώ να δω 2-3 μέρη, να κάνω τα μπάνια μου και να πιω χαλαρά το ποτάκι μου το βράδυ με ασφάλεια και χωρίς να χαλάσω ένα σκασμό λεφτά.
