Contact a reliable Greek travel agency such as Fantasy Travel or Dolphin Hellas Travel to help you plan your visit to the Greek islands. It can be difficult to schedule a vacation by yourself if you want to visit multiple islands. Ask for hotel recommendations, any discounts and available multiple island combo deals.
Book your hotel through your travel agency or using an online Greek hotel website. Leave yourself enough time to get back to the Greek mainland for your flight home.
Book a domestic or international flight to Athens or your destination island. The main islands such as Mykonos, Kos, Crete and Rhodes all have airports. Smaller islands require a ferry trip.
Use a ferry boat to visit the Greek islands when a flight is not possible or desired. Ferry boats are relaxing and the primary source of travel to the Greek islands. Tickets can be acquired by your booking agency. Avoid depending on the Internet for accurate schedules. Ferry times are determined two weeks in advance and are subject to change. Call one of the ferry companies or visit the port in person for an accurate schedule. Most ferries depart early in the morning.
Charter a yacht or sailboat with a captain for a more personal experience. The boats are comfortable, private and provide the freedom to go where you want when you want. Visit the website of one of the chartering companies such as Global Merchant Yacht Charters or Odyssey Sailing for current deals and booking options.
