Trip length and pacing
A week can cover Athens and one island. Ten to fourteen days works better for multiple islands or mainland regions.

Quick planning answer
What should a traveller know before planning Mykonos?
Decide early whether the trip focuses on Athens, mainland history or island travel because ferry timing shapes the itinerary. May, June, September and early October often provide warm weather with less peak-season pressure. July and August are busiest.
Getting around
Domestic flights and ferries connect islands. Cars can help on larger islands and mainland routes, but are unnecessary in central Athens.
Budget decisions
Island pricing varies substantially. Ferry class, baggage, transfers and waterfront accommodation affect the total.
Entry and official checks
Confirm current Schengen entry and passport requirements through official Greek and Canadian government sources.
Before you book
- Leave buffer time before international flights when using ferries.
- Choose islands that connect logically instead of crossing the entire country.
- Carry sun protection and water during archaeological visits.
