Pre Trip ideas before RS Greece tour

Hi,
Looking for some ideas of places to see before the RS Greece tour in May. We were thinking of Crete or Corfu.
Any additional ideas would be great.
Thanks, Sue

Crete is a wonderful place to visit. Focus on Western Crete with the historic cities of Chania and Rethymnon. You will see influences there from a series of conquerors, Turkish in particular.

How much time to you have?

That can make a big difference on where to go either long distance or somewhere closer to Athens.

Lots of options but we need more info on your time available and what your interests are.

Following! We are booked for the May 10th Greece 14 day tour in 2025 and also interested in visiting an island before the beginning of the tour. Probably 3 days in advance of the tour. Appreciate recommendations!

We are on the Greece tour, starts in just over 2 weeks. We arrive Athens one week before. 1 night by airport, next day fly to Naxos for 3 nights, ferry back to Athens, three nights on our own before the tour starts; there’s a lot to see and enjoy in Athens that the tour doesn’t experience.

We were thinking 4-5 days before. Thank you for any suggestions.
