Practical tips
- Documents: EU citizens only need a valid identity card or passport.
- Islands in summer: island airports are small and very crowded on peak days; arrive well ahead of your return flight.
- Domestic flights: Aegean, Olympic and Sky Express link Athens and Thessaloniki with dozens of islands; alternatively there are the ferries.
- Taxis: ask the price before getting in or check that the meter is running; on the islands it is best to book.
