Greece seems to be a small country, but appearances are deceptive especially when it comes to travelling around in Greece. The landscape on the mainland is quite mountainous and ferries to the islands operate just within island groups, and sometimes just between certain islands within those groups. Therefore, to make the most of your the time you have, it is essential to choose one region or island group to explore. What has always enchanted me about Greece in addition to the breathtaking beauty that you find just about everywhere in the country is the entire experience of Greek hospitality and way of life–amazingly friendly people who love their home and are so excited to share their local knowledge and colorful traditions, delicious food, long lunches, dinners and coffees in gorgeous spots. A great trip is about savoring the place and moment. It is not a race to check off as much as possible, just to become a blurry memory of an exhausting trip when you return.
