Greek Islands: Santorini, Mykonos, and Rhodes

Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide © 2018 | We'll island-hop through the Aegean, sampling three classic Greek getaways — Santorini, Mykonos, and Rhodes — and basking in their dramatic beauty. We'll tour ancient ruins, trace the vestiges of the Crusaders, sample rustic cuisine, savor classic Greek-island views, and compare beaches — from the ultimate party beach to idyllic quiet hideaways. And we'll see how a cruise ship can be an efficient way to link up great island stopovers. #ricksteveseurope #greekislands #mykonos

I am Bulgarian and i am living really close to the border with Greece. Need to tell you guys, Greece is one of the most amazing countries i have ever seen. The culture there is so ancient. The people are so nice and friendly . They are just the perfect company for a nice holiday. And the beauty and sun of Greece is just marvellous.

Two years ago on Santorini I saw Rick sitting at the table with wine while talking to the camera. I saw the scene in this video. Thanks Rick for bringing the memory of the wonderful trip.

Greece is heaven on earth. It has absolutely everything. From 80% mountains, breathtaking landscapes, to 16.000 km of the most crystal clear seas, to 6000 islands, and incredible mainland, perfect climate, incredibly picturesque towns and villages dotted around the land, unparalleled history, incredible culture and divine cuisine. Above all, it's people are Greece's greatest treasure. It's combination of everything is what makes Greece perfect.

As a Greek, I would like to say a huge thank you for the lovely video that you made. Tourists are always welcome in Greece. Personally, I live in Athens and I feel very happy every single time I see tourist groups around the city. Thank you again.

I visited Kos, Rhodes and Crete multiple times. No matter when you come, there is always a quite beach, mountain or even a village for yourself. The food is excellent and the Greek always welcoming you with all their kindness.

By far the most successful and engaging Rick’s videos reviews because it’s about Greece, the birthplace of civilization.
