Greece is one of those countries that has stolen my heart and to which I do not mind coming back again and again, because I feel at home, for its atmosphere, its gastronomy and the warmth and authenticity of its people. On this trip to the Greek Islands we visited the islands of Mykonos, Santorini, Ios, Milos and Zakynthos.

Also, since there won’t be as many tourists, the prices of accommodations and restaurants will be more affordable. On the other hand, November to March is the worst season to travel to Greece, as temperatures will be colder and many of the tourist attractions will be closed. Also many of the ferries that connect the islands also see reduced activity, so the advice to travel to Greece that we give you is not to do it during these months, as you may not be able to visit all the places you want.
The summer months are considered high season in Greece, as it is the time that receives more tourists. If you travel to the country during these months you will see how all the places of interest will be full of tourists, to which must be added the large increase in prices that can occur in accommodation, airline tickets and even car rentals.
Our advice to travel to Greece and know thoroughly the city of Athens is that at least you stay in the city about three days. Only with that time you will be able to know each one of the places of interest that this city has. If you want you can combine your walks around the city with one of the tours or guided visits that are offered in this, certainly the best combination. You should keep in mind that if you go to the country during the high season you will find long lines in many of the places of interest.

In this trip I have paid with the bank card because being Euro they did not charge me commission of change. I also took cash with me and in the end I had to withdraw money with the Bnext card so that I would not be charged a commission.
The truth is that we could not be happier with the exchange rate. Because the photos are spectacular and much more comfortable than the other one. In addition, it has Remote Control from the mobile and Wifi, so we can pass the photos to the mobile at the moment.
We have also updated the GoPro, which we had since 2014, for the GoPro 6 and we are very happy because the quality is amazing. We took the opportunity to buy the GoPro pack with the stabilizer and the Karma drone and the truth is that we are very happy. Recording with the stabilizer is amazing.
We hope this post has helped you to plan your trip. If you have any questions, suggestions or contributions, you can leave us a comment and we will be happy to help you in any way we can.

If your vacations are in the summer season, we recommend you to postpone your trip to Greece in June or September. Since it is still warm, but you will have less tourist overcrowding. Therefore, you will be able to enjoy without agglomerations in a more relaxed way.
It is one of the safest countries in Europe, you just have to take the same precautions as in the rest of the world. Beware of pickpockets in the big capitals, do not leave your belongings out of sight and avoid the most dangerous areas.
As for how much money you should take with you or if it is better to use your credit card, because of the crisis many tourists began to complain that they could not withdraw much money in Greek ATMs. For this reason it is recommended to carry cash or pay with the card where you can.
