So you’re planning a trip to Greece this summer? 🇬🇷 Mediterranean beaches, Greek salads, sunset wine in Santorini… but then you start researching and suddenly you’re overwhelmed.
With over 200 inhabited Greek islands, endless ferry routes, changing weather, and wildly different island vibes — planning the perfect Greece itinerary isn’t as simple as TikTok makes it look.
After travelling to Greece twice (once on a tight budget in 2023 and again in 2025), we’re sharing 12 essential things we wish we knew before visiting Greece — from ferry booking tips and island selection, to budgeting, beaches, cars, Meltemi winds, and why Santorini might surprise you.
In this video, we cover:
• How many Greek islands you should actually visit
• How to plan your ferry routes the smart way
• How affordable Greece really is (our real daily budget)
• Which islands are best for party, relaxation, adventure & luxury
• Whether you need a car or scooter
• What Greek beaches are REALLY like
• The truth about Santorini
• The Meltemi winds & cancelled ferries
• Why Greece is meant to be slow
• Renting your own boat (yes, without a license!)
• Why Athens deserves more time
If you’re planning a Greece island hopping trip in 2026, this will save you time, money, and stress.
