If you came here looking for a blog, there is not one, and that is a deliberate choice rather than an empty section waiting to be filled. This page explains what Greece Trips publishes instead, and points you at the part of it you actually want.
Why there are no posts
A blog post is organised around the day it was written. That works for news and badly for trip planning, because the question you are asking - which island, which ferry, how many days - is the same question in March and in October. It deserves one page that is kept right, not six posts of decreasing accuracy with the newest on top.
So this site is organised by decision instead of by date. Every page owns one question a Greece trip actually turns on, and ends in a recommendation rather than a shrug. No URL here carries a year or a month, because the page you want does not change when the calendar does.
What the site publishes instead
Seven layers, which between them follow the order a trip is actually planned:
- Destinations - more than a hundred places, each with its own guide.
- Island groups - the Cyclades, Dodecanese, Ionian, Sporades, Saronic and North Aegean, for narrowing the field by region.
- Head-to-head comparisons - more than thirty, for the moment the shortlist is down to two and neither will let go.
- Travel guides - more than fifty, on the things that apply wherever you go: ferries, car hire, when to come, what to book ahead.
- Route guides - more than fifty, one per journey, covering which port, which class of boat, and when flying wins.
- Itineraries - whole routes with the legs already sequenced.
- Trip types - the same islands re-sorted by what you are actually travelling for.
How any of this stays current
The honest constraint is that some facts rot. Fares move within a season, timetables are set per operator per year, and opening hours change without announcing it. So this site does not print them as though they were fixed: crossing times are given as a range by vessel class, and anything genuinely perishable routes you to the operator, which is the only place it is ever current.
What will not happen is a fact published because it sounded right. Our editorial policy is the standard every page here is held to, and it is public so you can hold us to it. Where a question is genuinely unsettled - and on a few of these pages it is - the page says so rather than picking a side to sound confident.
Where to start
If you do not know the island yet, the island groups narrow it by region and the comparisons settle the last two. If you know where but not when, when to go and how the ferries work are the two pages that turn a shortlist into a route. If you would rather have the whole thing sequenced for you, the itineraries do that.
And if you simply wanted something to read: how the ferries actually work and what a Greece trip costs are the two longest and most useful things here.
