Travel Tips

  • Embrace the Local Culture

    Avoid the “OK” hand sign; it’s impolite.

  • Respect Nature

    Hike Samaria Gorge or sail Cycladic isles.

  • Be Flexible

    Ferries sell out in August—book well ahead.

  • Support Local Businesses

    Tavernas may not split bills; carry cash.

Greece’s Santorini sunsets paint the caldera in colors that silence even chatty teenagers as three generations gather on Oia’s marble steps, jostling for position among honeymooners at the world’s most photographed golden hour. Canaves Oia Epitome ($1,200/night) provides private infinity pools carved into cliffsides where families float above the Aegean while ferries cross to Thirassia island below. Morning boat tours ($85/adult) explore volcanic hot springs where sulfur turns jewelry black—children shriek at the smell while brave souls claim therapeutic benefits.

Athens’ Acropolis Museum glass floors reveal ongoing excavations beneath your feet—ancient neighborhoods visible through transparent walkways that mesmerize toddlers crawling above history. Skip-the-line Parthenon tickets ($24) beat crushing midday heat and crowds for 8am entry when morning light illuminates Pentelic marble. Hotel Grande Bretagne’s rooftop restaurant ($450/night) frames the illuminated Acropolis while three generations share mezze plates.

Crete’s Samaria Gorge stretches 16 kilometers through Europe’s longest canyon where Kri-kri wild goats leap impossible cliffs. The easier Imbros Gorge suits families with young children—8 kilometers of manageable terrain ending at tavernas serving lamb slow-cooked in paper bags. Domes Noruz resort ($580/night) provides kids’ clubs freeing parents for sunset yoga while teenagers windsurf Chania’s protected bay.
