Summers on Greece's islands run hot and dry, while winters stay mild, and the busiest stretch for visitors falls between June and September. Cooking across the islands leans on fresh seafood, olive oil, feta and other local cheeses, and grilled meats, so eating out rewards anyone curious about the local kitchen. Ferries link the Greek islands, and flights from Athens and major hubs reach Crete as well, making arrival by sea or air equally practical.
