East trip to Greece in 32 days It will bring us closer to one of the destinations that we most wanted to know and that has been on our list of pending trips for many years. Taking into account the extension of the country and especially the number of islands that can be visited, at the end and after many assessments, we have finished organizing a route that will take us through some of the essential places to see in Greece, in addition to many of the most tourist and that we believe, should be visited yes or yes at first trip to Greece.
Officially known as the Hellenic Republic and located between Europe, Asia and Africa, Greece with around eleven million inhabitants, is composed of seven archipelagos, with approximately 1400 islands, of which 227 are currently inhabited.
With one of the most exciting stories in the world, which seems to be reflected in every place in the country, Greece is one of the most complete countries to travel to, which also highlights its incredible beauty, unique archaeological sites and unforgettable landscapes, In addition to a powerful attraction, which is none other than the impressive Greek islands.
All of them very different from each other, most of them are located in the Aegean Sea and we could divide them into 7 groups: the Ionian Islands, in the western part of Greece, the Cichlids, with 56 islands, Crete, the largest in extension, the Dodecanese archipelago, with 12 islands, the Aegean Islands, Euboea Island and the Saronic Islands.

Although we could say that any time is perfect for travel to Greece, we must take into account certain aspects, through which we could mark three distinct periods in which to travel to Greece, each of them with certain characteristics:
- High season (from June to August): It is at this time when prices are highest, all the most tourist places are at full capacity and tourism abounds, especially in the most famous places and some of the best known Greek islands like Santorini or Mykonos.
It should also be noted that during the months of July and August, temperatures are usually very high.
- Mid season (April-May and September)
It is at this time of the year when prices tend to be a bit tighter, there are fewer people in more tourist places and temperatures tend to be more benign.
Although we must also bear in mind that sometimes flights and transport services, such as ferries, see their schedules decreased.
- Low season (from October to March)
Although this is the time when prices are lower, in some cases up to 50%, you have to take into account that many services are reduced, including ferries, accommodation and even some tourist attractions.
With this in mind, we believe that a good time to travel to Greece it would be in the months that comprise the middle season or the month of June, which is the first month of the high season, in which you can already enjoy the good temperatures, but the overcrowding seems not to have reached its peak.
Although moving by public transport to travel to Greece It is totally feasible, it is advisable to rent a car in Greece, as this will allow you to have total freedom of movement and schedules, making your route much more enjoyable.
Taking this into account, for a first trip, it is advisable to spend about a week traveling through continental Greece, which includes the places of Greece that are on the Balkan Peninsula and that of course include places such as Athens, Corinth, the Theater of Epidaurus, Olympia , Delphi and the Meteora Monasteries.
To end the trip, there is nothing better than choosing to spend a few days in one of the best known Greek Islands such as Santorini or Mykonos, although here the offer is as wide as the 227 inhabited islands that exist.
