This is a planning guide for first-time visitors to the Greek islands. It focuses on practical trip building rather than listing attractions. It covers how to combine islands, use Athens as the main gateway, reduce unnecessary transfers and leave enough time at each destination.
The book includes 7-, 10- and 14-day island-hopping itineraries. It also gives guidance on Athens, Piraeus and ferry connections, and on planning ferry days so they don't take up whole sightseeing days. Backup strategies cover delays, cancellations and difficult connections.
Island combinations feature Naxos, Paros, Santorini, Milos, Syros, Tinos, Sifnos, Amorgos, Crete and more. The book offers advice on choosing an island by beaches, food, culture, nightlife, walking and atmosphere, and on picking a base with or without a car. It also covers accommodation, transportation and budgeting, with tips for couples, families, solo travelers and budget-conscious visitors. Planning tools, comparison charts and route builders are included.
