Wouldn't it be great if things were always exactly as they seemed?
Unfortunately, in the multi-billion dollar travel industry, what we’re sold often doesn’t match what we see when we arrive. Picturesque beaches can turn out to be overcrowded or not as pristine as advertised.
But don’t worry!
If you're planning on getting your trunks on or just soaking up the sun from the sand, this summer in Greece, you'll get the freshest and clearest water around.

If you're bringing the little ones with you this summer you're in luck!
Greece is packed with islands that are just perfect for family getaways.
If you've already booked accommodation on one island and this list changes your mind, don’t worry! You can easily set up a little island-hopping day tour.
As you’d guess, most of mainland Athens flocks to the islands when the heat gets unbearable, so ferry tickets run out quickly. I recommend booking your seats well in advance since you can always cancel later.

Perks of visiting an island with no cars?
No traffic jams, no honking horns—just pure, unadulterated charm.
Hydra truly offers an out-of-this-world experience and the main mode of transport is your own two feet (or maybe a friendly donkey).
Dive into the slow-paced, serene lifestyle of Hydra and discover how to make the most of this unique, car-free paradise.
