Flying to Islands
If you are looking to visit islands a little further off then flights may be needed.
Most islands have a small airport that is available for flights. It’s also suggested to purchase these tickets well ahead of time as the planes are smaller and fill up fairly quickly.
Car Rental
If you are staying in one place for a while there are a lot of options for rental cars. Most of the airports have an option for this. Athens is one of the most popular place to do this.

The most important thing to remember is to book tickets ahead of time and plan out which islands you are going to! Do some research if you are looking to save money, this could mean taking the lower speed ferry or changing it up between trips flip-flopping between ferries and planes! Either way Greece islands are very accessible, but doing your research is definitely recommended and use some of these tips and tricks for the best Greece vacation.
