Greece spans thousands of islands, but a trip here is just as much about what came before the beaches. Wander the marble columns of the Acropolis, climb to the clifftop monasteries of Meteora, or trace the myths at Delphi and Olympia. Then swap the ruins for the coast, where whitewashed villages tumble down cliffs above some of the clearest water in the Mediterranean. The guides below cover the practical side of getting there and choosing where to go, from the best islands and temples to visit, the right month for your trip, and what to pack. There's also a side-by-side look at Greece against Croatia if you're still deciding between the two, plus everything on visas and currency before you book.
