Here I leave you those islands and essential visits in Greece that I would not leave without visiting in any way and that I consider 100% essential if it is the first time that you travel to Greece Keep in mind that Greece is a country to repeat more than the €1000 of the Christmas lottery. And this is among other things because its geography is a bit crazy and there are dozens of wonderful places to choose from. To give you an idea, it is a country divided into several archipelagos: the famous Cyclades Islands, the Dodecanese, the Ionian Islands, the Sporades, the Aegean Islands, the Saronic Gulf... which in total add up to... 2000 islands! And add to that mainland Greece and the Peloponnese. So if it's your first trip, I'd focus a bit and I think this report will help you.
So, taking into account that the common mortals do not have more than 21 vacation days a year, get an idea that "everything, everything, everything" that Greece offers cannot be seen even if you spend 1 month there … so, knowing this, I have very humbly selected only 10 essential visits in Greece full of epic corners, cities and what I think are the most beautiful areas and islands of Greece to be visited in a first vacation in this beautiful country.
All the places I have chosen are different. None equal to another. I have not wanted to select very similar islands or areas where there are only 2 or 3 things to see. I have selected only epic locations. But very very epic. So... friends, grab paper and a pen, write down all these essential visits to the Greek islands and if you want to delve deeper, at the end of this post I have left you links to more articles on Greece with tips, routes... come on, what about Diario de a Liar you go out with the organized trip. Very attentive and... here we come travelers!
Mykonos and its colors
That the island of Mykonos is one of the most important and essential islands to visit in Greece is no secret... in what article on the Internet have you not seen that it is recommended to you?
You can't miss the famous windmills, both during the day and at sunset, the beautiful Venetian port, a coffee or lunch on one of the Kastro Café balconies overlooking the sea.
And strolling between Roussel Loui and Apollonos streets, which after walking around Mykonos, we discovered that it is where the locals live and few Airbnb you will find.
If you don’t want to stroll on foot and simply get in a car with air-condition and just get to the party or your lunch, or simply make a tour on the island in style, then you should hire a lux car from Lux Auto Mykonos transfers. We can get you the car where you want, we can provide you with a driver and we can recommend the best places to visit making your staying at Mykonos an experience worth remembering.
Strolling around the church of Agios Nikolaos, Gialos beach or ending the day at the magic hour with a drink at Nice N'easy can be the perfect culmination of a day in one of the most beautiful cities in the Cyclades.
Zakyntos and the shipwreck beach
The first of the essential places in Greece that sometimes goes unnoticed and frankly I don't understand why, is the island of Zakynthos, where I assure you that I have seen some of the most beautiful blues I have ever seen in my life.
