Overview
Greece shines when your itinerary mixes a historic city with an island stay. Athens gives you the archaeology, museums, and neighborhoods, while a second stop such as Santorini, Mykonos, or Naxos brings the coastal rhythm that most travelers imagine when they picture Greece.
Suggested 6-day route: Athens (2 nights), island stay (3 nights), and a final evening in a smaller harbor town. This allows you to keep the pace relaxed while still seeing both the mainland and the island vibe.
Visa & policy: many travelers can enter Greece under Schengen rules for short stays, often for up to 90 days in any 180-day period. If you plan a longer stay or remote work, verify the latest visa and residency requirements well before you fly.
