FAQ
1. How do I choose which islands to visit?
Greece has 200+ inhabited islands, but young travellers usually pick based on vibe:
- Party: Mykonos, Ios, Zakynthos
- Chill beaches: Paros, Naxos, Milos
- Adventure: Crete
- Aesthetic/romantic: Santorini
You don’t need to see everything — pick 2–3 in the same island group.
2. Are ferries reliable or should I fly?
Ferries are the classic way to island-hop. They’re comfortable, but wind can cause delays, especially in July–August.
Flights between Athens, Santorini, Mykonos, and Crete are faster but pricier.
3. What is the etiquette for beaches?
Many beaches are organized (sunbeds, bars, DJs), and others are wild and empty.
Top notes:
- Sunbeds usually range €10–30.
- Keep music at a respectful level on quiet beaches.
- Some beaches are clothing-optional.
4. Is tap water safe to drink?
In Athens and most mainland areas, yes.
On many islands, tap water is technically safe but tastes salty/mineral-heavy — most travellers buy bottled water.
5. How crazy is nightlife on the islands?
Ios, Mykonos, and Zakynthos are the hotspots.
If you want something lighter, Paros and Naxos have fun but calmer nights.
6. How do I avoid tourist traps in places like Santorini or Mykonos?
Easy tricks:
- Eat 2–3 streets away from the main view spots.
- Avoid restaurants with “staff outside trying to pull you in.”
- Use buses or ATVs, skip overpriced taxis.
- Visit popular sunset spots early or find quiet cliffs nearby.
