Experience a Traditional Greek Wedding
With juicy meats, tangy cheese, homegrown olives, and rich pastries, Greek cuisine will keep you coming back for more. We’ll show you what to eat and drink in Greece, so you don’t miss a thing!
Gyros
Everyone goes gaga for gyros in Greece. These delicious wrap sandwiches (pronounced yee-ros) are a street food favorite, made with meat cooked on a rotating rotisserie and served in a soft pita wrap with fresh tomato, onion and tzatziki sauce. We’ll let you in on all the best girádika (restaurants that serve gyros) to try on your Greece holiday.
Ellinikos (Greek Coffee)
Do as the locals do and kickstart your day with a hot cup of ellinikos. The Greeks have a beloved daily coffee ritual that’s all about relaxing with a brew in hand. Whether you catch up with friends or simply watch the world go by, a Greek coffee experience is not to be missed.
Amygdalota
These lovely Greek cookies are crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside… And packed with a delicious orange and almond flavor. Amygdalota are traditionally served after weddings and baptisms to symbolize new beginnings. You can try amygdalota in bakeries across Greece, but be warned - they’re insanely addictive.
Greece is particularly irresistible during the warmer months of summer, autumn and spring, with long sunny beach days and island hopping up for grabs.
Best Time for a Greece Cruise
Summer is the classic season to head off on a Greek islands vacation, but if you can’t handle the searing heat, try September and October with milder weather and superb Aegean cruises.
Best Time to Explore Greece’s Ancient Ruins
The best time for Greece sightseeing is the shoulder seasons of March to May and September to November, when crowds are thinner and the weather is perfect for exploring ancient treasures.
Best Time to Explore the Greek Countryside
We love to go wandering the countryside around April and May, when pretty wildflowers bloom and the days are sunny and clear.
Help Care For the Beaches
You can help keep Greece's beaches beautiful by using reef-safe sunscreens, leaving shells and any wildlife where you spot them, and never leaving any litter behind.
Avoid Buying Coral Products
If you're looking for souvenirs, avoid buying natural sponges or coral products in Greece. When they're collected irresponsibly it has a destructive impact on the marine ecosystems of the region.
Say No to Plastic
Take care of the environment in Greece by saying no to plastic packaging and bringing your own reusable bottles and bags when you visit Greece.
