Greece is where myths meet modern life. In one trip, you can wander through the marble ruins of ancient Athens, hike clifftop paths in Santorini, and spend lazy afternoons on Mykonos beaches where the Aegean sparkles.

This 10-day journey is designed to give you the best of Greece in one go—the history, the islands, the flavors, and the famous Greek sunsets.

Best Time to Visit Greece

• April–June: Spring blooms, warm but not scorching, fewer crowds.
  
• July–August: High season with buzzing nightlife, but busier and hotter.
  
• September–October: Warm seas, golden sunsets, and vineyards in harvest.
  
• November–March: Quiet, budget-friendly, but many island resorts close.
  

Tip: Late May–June and September are ideal for perfect weather and fewer crowds.

The Perfect 10-Day Greece Itinerary

Days 1–3: Athens — Where History Speaks

Start your Greek adventure in Athens, the cradle of Western civilization. Climb the Acropolis early in the morning, when the marble glows golden in the sun. Walk among ruins where philosophers once debated, and don’t miss the Acropolis Museum, which brings the ancient world to life.

Stroll through Plaka, Athens’ oldest neighborhood, filled with pastel houses, bougainvillea, and tavernas where you’ll be welcomed with ouzo and meze. In the evening, head to Lycabettus Hill or a rooftop bar in Monastiraki for panoramic city views at sunset.

Optional day trip: Visit Cape Sounion to see the Temple of Poseidon overlooking the sea—it’s one of the most romantic sunset spots in Greece.

Days 4–6: Santorini — The Island of Sunsets

Fly or take a ferry to Santorini, the island that graces postcards. Stay in Oia or Fira for the famous caldera views. Spend your days exploring:

• Oia Sunset: The most iconic sunset in Greece—whitewashed houses glowing orange as the sun sinks into the Aegean.
  
• Fira–Oia Hike: A cliffside trail that feels like walking through a painting.
  
• Volcanic Beaches: Red Beach and Perissa’s black sands are unlike any you’ve seen.
  
• Caldera Cruise: A catamaran trip with stops at hot springs, snorkeling spots, and dinner on board.
  

In the evenings, sip Assyrtiko wine at a cliffside taverna, letting the island’s magic wash over you.

Days 7–9: Mykonos — Beaches & Windmills

Hop over to Mykonos, famous for both its golden beaches and vibrant nightlife. But it’s not all parties—there’s charm here too.

• Wander the whitewashed lanes of Mykonos Town, where blue shutters and bougainvillea make every corner Instagram-worthy.
  
• Visit the iconic windmills overlooking Little Venice, especially at sunset.
  
• Spend a day beach-hopping: Psarou for luxury, Paraga for music, Agios Sostis for quiet.
  
• Take a boat trip to Delos Island, a UNESCO site and birthplace of Apollo.
  

Nights can be quiet dinners by the sea or lively beach clubs—it’s your call.

Day 10: Farewell to Greece

Spend your final morning relaxing on Mykonos beaches or browsing boutiques in the old town. Fly back to Athens for your onward journey, carrying memories of history, sunsets, and island breezes.

Hidden Gems for Your Greece Trip

• Naxos: A calmer alternative to Mykonos with stunning beaches.
  
• Meteora (Mainland): Monasteries perched on giant rock pillars.
  
• Akrotiri (Santorini): An ancient Minoan city preserved under volcanic ash.
  
• Ano Mera (Mykonos): A quiet village with authentic tavernas.

Practical Travel Tips for Greece

• Getting Around: Use ferries for island-hopping; flights save time for longer distances.
  
• Currency: Euro (€); cards are widely accepted, but keep cash for small shops.
  
• Local Food: Try souvlaki, moussaka, fava dip, and baklava with Greek coffee.
  
• Pack Light: Cobblestone streets and ferry transfers make rolling luggage tricky—opt for a backpack or light suitcase.

In 10 days, you’ll live three different lives—the historian in Athens, the dreamer in Santorini, and the free spirit in Mykonos. And long after you’ve left, Greece will still be with you, calling you back for more.
