In reply to Sandy.

Yes, I need to go back again one of these years to visit some more of the islands. I also want to see more of the mainland too. It’s been a while since I wrote this post and I’ve learned more about Greece in the meantime too – partially thanks to your lovely photos too!

Greece is a country that absolutely cannot be judged by Santorini, as amazing as it is, or even Athens, alone. You’ve seen the ‘real’ Greece on Naxos and that is a a good indicator or the vast majority of the other islands. It’s taken me 7 visits to explore the mainland and we were amazed at just how much it has to offer.
For us it ticks every single box and, with the exception of perhaps Mexico, I cannot think of another country that does. So we will be back again next year!

We’re looking into visiting Greece soon. Your article provides a nice summary on what to look into (and what not ;)) so it’s been very helpful!

In reply to Shannalyn West. Thanks Shannalyn. I wasn't too sick, just a cold, but just makes dealing with those crowds a bit harder ?

Greece looks amazing! Sad you got sick on your trip. That’s no fun. Good to know you found Oia very touristy and busy. I am not a fan of big crowds or touristy type places. Thanks for sharing.

In reply to Isadora Koller. There is history at every turn. I was astounded to see ruins in the middle of Athens.

In reply to Carol Rice. Thanks Carol. I've heard good things about Crete too, so that's perhaps where I am thinking of going next in Greece. I will probably change my mind before I get there though ?

I really liked Athens. Our Tour Guide was wonderful and had me in tears with her Passion for the History of Ancient Greece and her Love and Concern for its future. Santorini is definitely beautiful but I understand how you felt about all the Tourists. I follow @oiasantorini on IG and enjoy seeing his photos and reading about Santorini from a local’s perspective. Loved Corfu and Lesbos … and Katakalon on the Mainland. I’ve heard Rhodes and Crete are beautiful so will try to see them next trip.
