8Explore Beyond the Islands

Many Greek islands go into hibernation after October, with limited ferry schedules and closed hotels. While Santorini and Crete stay relatively lively year-round, the off-season is the perfect time to focus on the mainland.

Visit mountain villages in Epirus, explore Thessaloniki’s buzzing food scene, or hike the dramatic landscapes of Meteora. You’ll discover a Greece few summer visitors ever see.
