Bring Cash

Although many restaurants in Greece accept cards, it's advisable to carry cash, especially if you plan on using buses. Tipping is often done in cash as well, since many places may not prompt you to add a tip when paying by card.
Understand Bus Systems

In Greece, particularly on the islands, the buses can be akin to charter buses or coach buses in the US. Tickets usually cost around 2 euros, and you can get change, so exact change is not necessary.
Renting a Car

An international driver's permit used to be required for renting a car, but now Americans and Canadians can often rent with just their regular license. However, it's still advised to have the permit in case of a police stop.
Be Mindful of Ferries

If you miss a ferry or if it's canceled, you can e-mail for a refund. It's helpful to keep a record of your tickets.
Travel During Shoulder Season

The best times to visit Greece for fewer crowds are in May, June, and September, known as the shoulder season.
Search for Local Dining

When looking for authentic Greek food, search for 'taverna' on Google Maps or TripAdvisor. Greek restaurants are often family-owned and offer a local dining experience.
Nightlife Starts Late

If you plan to enjoy the nightlife in places like Mykonos, locals recommend starting your night out around 12 or 12:30 AM.
