Overview
Greece rewards travellers who pick a thread and follow it. Athens is the hinge every route runs through, and from its port and airport the Cyclades, Crete, the Peloponnese and the northern mountains are each a different holiday.

Greece has around 6,000 islands and islets, and only about 227 of them are inhabited, which is why the ferry timetable shapes so many Greek itineraries.
