I will be in Greece for about 2 weeks and wonder if it is better to get once place to stay and visit other places from say Athens, or move around and stay in different locals. & would it be easy to get a place to stay in each location with say a local person? thanks

I am a newbie here but could see no one had replied to you, so thought I may help! I've lived in Crete since May last year but have visited other Greek islands also - never been to the mainland but from what I have heard from the locals, a lot of them like to spend their time in Athens, (don't know if that helps your decision but that is based on chat from the locals). For the usual tourist spots Athens is a good place to be. The Museum of Eleusis is only 11 miles from the centre of Athens and we are looking forward to visiting there this year but there are so many places in and around the city.

Thanks so much for the post! I have actually lived in Greece before...my Mom's family is from Glyfada. My husband and I are looking to move more into the county. Thanks again!
