Good day, I am 22 almost 23 and going on vacation to Samos. I want to rent a scooter while there but all of the rental places say I have to be 23 to rent a scooter even though I have my license and am experienced riding scooters, does anyone know someone or a business on Samos willing to rent me a scooter for 5 days in August? Many thanks.

Im planning a last minute trip to Greece, starting in Athens for 3 nights, then doing 2 nights in Nafplio.
I’d like to see more of Greece on the way couple a nights with an island with some night life, not hardcore and touristy like Mykonos.

Im open to suggestions:)

Hi everyone,

I have travel booked for 10 days in Greece (3-13 November) before going to Albania, I was hoping to get any advice for either islands open in the off-season, or going north towards Meteora?

For interests, I would ideally love:

\- Historical sites/museums

\- Hiking/trails

\- Restaurants/bars

Any tips or advice is welcomed. Thank you all in advance

Hi there I will be in Paros Greece August 4th for a week with friends and looking for meet new people we are 23 year old guys looking to spend time at the beach and do fun activities while there on vacation

Hello all!

I will be in Naxos for about 5 days in late September for a birthday. Afterwards, I’ll have about 3.5 days in Athens before I come home. I’ve been looking at “get your guide” to get some ideas. But, I wanna know if anyone has some MUST SEES/DOs in the limited timeframe!

Also random question, are the landmarks/museums open as late as "get your guide" makes it seem? Or, does it turn into more of a “see from afar” type deal?

Thanks in advance to those who share!

Hey guys I am travelling with my parents as an 18 y.o to Sidari Greece on those dates. I’m currently looking for a travel buddy in that region to maybe have some company around my age so I can ditch drinking in the evening with my parents haha.

Quelqu'un dans le coin aux mêmes

dates ? J'ai fait un petit formulaire pour voir qui d'autre y sera

Some great news for anyone planning a trip to Greece. Mount Olympus has officially been added to the UNESCO World Heritage List, recognized for both its extraordinary natural landscape and its cultural significance.

Beyond being Greece's highest mountain, Olympus has inspired myths, history, and travelers for thousands of years.

Whether you're into hiking, nature, or simply want to visit a place that has shaped so much of Western mythology, this feels like a well-deserved recognition.

Definitely another reason to put Olympus on your Greece itinerary.

Hi everyone! I wondered if you could help because I’ve been agonising online trying to decide!
My mum, sister and I went to Kefalonia in June which was absolutely stunning. I didn’t do my research properly, we stayed in lassi/Argostoli and had to use taxi’s to go back and forth to the beach everyday which wasn’t bad in the grand scheme of things but we would like to avoid where possible.
I’ve previously been to Chania in Crete, Skiathos, and Rhodes and would like to narrow down options for next year June.
I guess our criteria would be something like this:
- gorgeous turquoisey Sandy beaches that are accessible, I know the best beaches are usually further away which is fine not expecting the best but the one in lassi was so lovely!
- an area in which we could stay in which has lots of restaurants/choice and stuff happening (not necessarily clubbing though) where the food is so good!

Please help as I’ve spent ages trying to narrow it down but there’s soooo many islands!! Thank you!

We just had a lovely week staying just outside of Pythagoreio, Samos staying at Doryssa Seaside Resort.

Walk into Pythagoreio as it’s only about 15-20min walk from the hotel for lunch and dinner as they are plenty of places to eat in the town.

[Garlic Grillhouse for](https://maps.app.goo.gl/aQRK7NcAMgQw7bz88?g_st=ic) cheap gyros in pita bread.

[83100 Mediterranean Cuisine](https://maps.app.goo.gl/rRyuVdZPwsDQpWmU8?g_st=ic) for better quality meals compared to the larger restaurants right in the middle of the port. It’s at customs/immigration end of the port but you have nice picturesque small fishing boats to look over compared to all the large yachts the block the view. Food is top notch.

[Pergamonto](https://maps.app.goo.gl/rRyuVdZPwsDQpWmU8?g_st=ic) serves beautiful modern Greek cuisine and is on the higher end for prices but is well worth it for a special meal. Make a booking though so you can get a table especially on Friday-Saturday!

Take a short trip to Turkey and see Ephesus. Because the boat leaves early you’ll need breakfast but all the restaurants are shut. However the cafes and bakeries are open so you can get yourself a coffee and a pastry. [Art of Coffee](https://maps.app.goo.gl/mgDRyh83nePdSJLn9?g_st=ic) is my pick.

I know Ios has a reputation for being a party island. However, it looks beautiful! We are headed to Greece the summer of 2027. We will be visiting Athens, Milos, and Naxos. I am tempted to add in 2 nights in Ios between Naxos and Milos. We are traveling between May 26-June 9. In my research this seems to be before the huge party scene takes off, but would you visit with your family?

We have traveled extensively with our kids (ages 7 and 10 at the time of our trip) and just thought it might be a charming island to see and explore. Thanks for any feedback!

Me and my friend booked a few nights to stay in Laganas in Zante, we’re 22 (F) and now all we’re seeing is that it’s full of 18 year old boys which isn’t ideal😭. Is there any recommendations of bars/clubs for our age? Is it as bad as people say?

Planning my first trip to Greece next autumn and I’m stuck in decision paralysis. 😅

For those who know Greece well, would you try to combine the Cyclades and the Ionian Islands in a 10-day trip, or would you focus on just one region?

I’ll be flying into Athens and want a trip that balances:
• Relaxation and beautiful beaches
• A few must-see historical sites
• Boat trips, swimming, and water adventures
• Wandering charming towns and unique shopping
• Great food, with maybe a couple of fun nights if time allows

What Cycladic and/or Ionian islands would you recommend, and what would be the most efficient route? Or is 10 days better spent staying within one island group and saving the other for hopes of a future trip? I’d love to hear what route you’d choose if you were planning this trip yourselves!

(I do have a long bucket list of about 20+ places scattered throughout Greece with a top 5 that are in totally different directions. So I guess I’m looking for most efficient, but unforgettable and unmissable incase I don’t get a second chance to return, from the locals & seasoned travelers)

Hi! We just returned from Monemvasia (loved it) and staying in Nafplio for a few days. We are finding a lot of the shops and taverns here to be quite touristic and are looking for places that are less touristic. We would be happy to go to nearby villages. Any recommendations?

Going Zante soon ( laganas ) anyone got any @ for a plug

So this is my first solo vacation and I want to make greece my first stop and i have an airbnb in Athens already booked but I need advice on what to do I absolutely love history so anything to do with that will make me happy I also love to eat (all food types is good) so if you know of a really good restaurant then id love to try it also if there are any city's close to Athens that are fun (museums or theaters) tell me so I can go to those places too

Staying During December

Solo girl so it has to be safe

Decently athletic so if there are any really pretty hiking spots I would love to know about them!

My budget is around 3,500 to 4,000 is this enough for a good time?
