Ways to Experience the Greek Islands

Greece is one of the most popular holiday destinations for UK tourists. The Greek Islands have a varied offering sun, sea, sand and the opportunity to indulge interests in history, art and gastronomy. They are a perfect location for relaxing breaks and cultural adventures. If youโ€™re keen to explore, but you donโ€™t know where to start planning your itinerary, here are some ways to experience the Greek Islands.

DIY island hopping

Island hopping is a brilliant idea if youโ€™re short on time and you want to discover multiple destinations in one holiday. The Greek Islands are an ideal base for island hopping, as you can travel around relatively easily. The first step to take is to choose your first location. The most popular islands include Crete, Rhodes and Corfu. From your base, you can then investigate ferries and boats that run to different islands. If you stay in Crete, for example, during the summer months, there are frequent services to Mykonos and Santorini. From Rethymnon, you can also catch a boat to Paros, Naxos and Ios. Itโ€™s worth looking into tickets that cover multiple journeys, for example, if you want to go from Crete to Mykonos and Santorini.

 

Work and travel

Working overseas is a great way to travel more without breaking the bank. If youโ€™re keen to take an extended break and see more of Greece, why not explore options like working remotely or getting a seasonal job for the summer via websites like anyworkanywhere? Thereโ€™s a huge range of options to choose from, including resort entertainment, being a travel company rep, working at a bar, restaurant or hospitality venue or joining a tour agency. If you work, youโ€™ll be earning money to fund your travels once your contract comes to an end and youโ€™ll also get the opportunity to discover new places and meet new people.

 

Sailing

The Greek Islands are a popular choice for those who enjoy life on the water. The calm seas, Mediterranean climate and proximity between islands make Greece a fantastic place to enjoy a sailing holiday. If you are an experienced sailor, you could look into hiring a boat, but if youโ€™re not an expert, there are other options. Look for sailing holiday packages online and enjoy the perks of boat life while an experienced crew takes care of the legwork.

 

Cruising

Cruises offer a stress-free way to explore a range of destinations and enjoy a varied itinerary. There are lots of companies that offer cruises around the islands, as well as Mediterranean cruises that offer opportunities to visit other countries, such as Italy, France, Spain and Portugal. If youโ€™re considering a cruise, research operators and itineraries and compare costs online. Consider the destinations you want to visit, your budget and how you want to spend your time before you decide which cruise to book.
