Guides to Greece, written from Athens
What we’d tell a friend who’s planning Greece: distances in hours rather than kilometers, what’s worth the drive and what isn’t, and when to go. Three guides to start with. More follow as we write them.

Train or road, the day-trip question, the six monasteries and their closing days.

Sounion, Delphi, Nafplio and Mycenae, Hydra, with the drive time for each and a verdict.

Planning a trip to Greece: how many days, which islands, which month
The questions people ask before they book anything.
