Know before you go
The practical stuff every traveler needs - weather, safety, costs and how to get around.
Best time to visit
May, June and September bring warm seas and fewer crowds than the July-August peak, when the islands fill and prices rise. Ferries run most often in summer; winter is quiet, with many island spots closed.
Safety tips
- Book inter-island ferries early in peak summer
- Use registered ride-hailing apps at night rather than hailing on the street
- Carry a copy of your ID and leave the original in your accommodation safe
- Traveling with a verified partner adds an easy extra layer of safety
Accommodation & daily budget
- Hostel dorm
- $15-28/ night
- Budget hotel / guesthouse
- $45-90/ night
- Mid-range hotel
- $100-180/ night
- Meals (per day)
- $20-45
Splitting a twin room and transport with a partner can cut your daily costs by 30-40%.
Getting around & useful apps
Ferries are the way between islands - fast catamarans and slower car ferries. Athens has a metro; a car or scooter helps on the bigger islands.
