How many days in Korčula Town do you need? From our experience, a day and a half to two days
Is Korčula Town worth visiting? Yes, especially if you enjoy historic places without needing several days to explore them. The
Lefkada in September still feels like summer, with warm sea temperatures, operating seasonal businesses and plenty of beach weather, but
Lefkada in May is usually warm enough for beach days, with daytime temperatures around 23 to 24°C and sea temperatures

Greece is everything people say it is. Blue water, white buildings, ancient ruins, amazing food. Summer gets crazy crowded and hot but shoulder seasons are perfect. The islands are the main draw but the mainland has tons to offer too.
Athens is chaotic but the history is unreal. The Acropolis and Parthenon are must sees even in the heat. Go early morning before crowds and sun get brutal. The Acropolis Museum is excellent. Plaka neighborhood below is touristy but pretty. The food scene is great. Souvlaki, moussaka, Greek salad. Monastiraki flea market is fun for wandering.
The islands are where most people spend their time. Santorini is gorgeous but expensive and packed. Oia sunsets are famous for a reason. Stay in Fira or smaller villages for better prices. Mykonos is the party island with beach clubs and nightlife. Also expensive. Both are worth it but know what you’re getting into.
Less touristy islands are often better. Naxos has great beaches and is way more chill. Paros is beautiful and less crowded than its neighbors. Crete is huge and has everything. Beaches, mountains, Minoan ruins. You could spend two weeks there. The smaller Cyclades islands like Milos and Folegandros are stunning and quieter.
Mainland Greece is underrated. Delphi has incredible ruins and mountain views. Meteora monasteries on top of rock formations are wild. The Peloponnese has Olympia, Mycenae, and beautiful coastal towns. Nafplio is charming and makes a good base.
Getting around means ferries between islands. Book ahead in summer because they fill up. Flights work for longer distances. Athens has decent metro. Rent a car for exploring bigger islands or mainland.
Money goes pretty far. Meals are affordable, accommodation varies. Islands are pricier in summer. Cards work most places but bring cash for smaller spots.
I’m a travel-obsessed guy who’s been chasing that perfect moment for more years than I can remember – still buzzing like a kid! One Greek island trip changed everything. Now I share travel secrets most tourists miss through Soft Footprints. Trust me: life-changing places aren’t all on TripAdvisor.
