Greece Travel FAQs
A trip with Royalairtrip allows you to have a tour with freedom and flexibility. You decide where to visit, when to see, what to eat and where to stay.
What is the best time to visit and experience everything here?
The best time to visit depends entirely on what kind of experience you are seeking as this magnificent Mediterranean destination offers completely different but equally compelling experiences across all four seasons throughout the year. Late spring from April to June is widely considered the absolute sweet spot offering pleasantly warm temperatures, dramatically fewer crowds than peak summer, lower accommodation prices, and landscapes bursting with wildflowers and fresh greenery that make sightseeing and outdoor exploration thoroughly enjoyable and comfortable. July and August bring intense heat and enormous crowds particularly on the most famous islands but also deliver the quintessential vibrant summer atmosphere that many visitors specifically seek. Autumn from September to October offers equally excellent weather with noticeably fewer tourists. Winter reveals a completely different and deeply authentic side of Greece away from tourism. Royal Air Trip helps you choose the perfect season for your dream Mediterranean journey.
What are the most beautiful islands worth visiting here?
This extraordinary Mediterranean archipelago encompasses over 6000 islands and islets each possessing its own completely distinct character, landscape, and cultural identity making island hopping one of the most exciting and endlessly rewarding travel experiences available anywhere in Southern Europe. Santorini with its iconic whitewashed cubic houses and blue domed churches perched dramatically above the ancient volcanic caldera and the most breathtakingly beautiful sunsets found anywhere on earth is perhaps the single most photographed landscape in the entire Mediterranean world. Mykonos combines cosmopolitan glamour and vibrant nightlife with charming windmills and labyrinthine whitewashed alleyways. Crete the largest island offers an extraordinary combination of Minoan archaeological wonders, dramatic mountain gorges, and pristine beaches. Rhodes with its magnificent medieval old town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Royal Air Trip designs perfect island hopping itineraries throughout Greece tailored to every travel style.
What ancient historical sites should every visitor explore here?
This remarkable nation is home to the greatest concentration of ancient historical monuments, archaeological sites, and classical civilisation remnants found anywhere on the entire planet making it an absolute paradise for history lovers, archaeology enthusiasts, and anyone with a genuine curiosity about the extraordinary ancient culture that laid the foundations of modern western thought and artistic achievement. The Acropolis of Athens crowned by the magnificent Parthenon temple dedicated to the goddess Athena and visible from virtually everywhere in the city is one of the most iconic and emotionally powerful historical monuments in the entire world and visiting it at sunrise before the crowds arrive is a genuinely transcendent experience. Royal Air Trip ensures all extraordinary historical sites are beautifully woven into every Greece itinerary.
What is the food culture like and what must I try?
The culinary traditions of this sun drenched Mediterranean nation represent one of the healthiest, most flavourful, and most internationally beloved food cultures found anywhere in the world built upon millennia of agricultural wisdom, olive cultivation, seafood expertise, and a deeply social approach to eating that transforms every meal into a joyful and unhurried celebration of life. Fresh grilled octopus enjoyed with a cold glass of ouzo at a clifftop taverna overlooking the shimmering Aegean Sea is one of the most quintessentially perfect dining experiences imaginable. Moussaka the beloved layered dish of spiced minced lamb, roasted aubergine, and creamy béchamel sauce is a deeply satisfying classic. Spanakopita, tzatziki, fresh feta drizzled with olive oil, and honey soaked baklava complete a magnificent culinary journey through authentic Greek food culture. Royal Air Trip incorporates outstanding dining experiences into all our itineraries.
This dramatically varied Mediterranean landscape offers outdoor enthusiasts and adventure seekers an extraordinary range of hiking, trekking, and nature based experiences spread across mainland mountain ranges, volcanic islands, and pristine coastal wilderness areas that rival the finest outdoor destinations found anywhere in Southern Europe. The legendary Samaria Gorge in Crete stretching 16 kilometres through breathtaking White Mountain scenery is one of the longest and most spectacular gorges in all of Europe offering a genuinely unforgettable full day hiking adventure through dramatic limestone cliffs, ancient abandoned villages, and crystal clear mountain streams. Mount Olympus the mythical home of the ancient Greek gods and the highest peak in the country offers challenging but magnificently rewarding trekking routes through dense forests and dramatic rocky ridgelines to summits offering extraordinary panoramic views. Royal Air Trip tailors all outdoor adventures perfectly to your fitness level and interests in Greece.
