Approx. 3.5 hours

The best time to visit Greece largely depends on the type of holiday you are planning. Whilst the peak season tends to be during the summer months as visitors flock to the islands, spring and autumn can also be great months to visit Greece to catch some sun at a lower cost. Do bear in mind that many of the islands resorts close between the winter months of November and March, making it the ideal time for city visits instead.

7 – 10 days is the ideal amount of time to spend in Greece; you can easily explore 2 or more islands at a relaxed pace during this time.
