Editorial Policy & Disclosure

Our main goal with Greek Trip Planner is to share useful, experience-based travel guides that help you plan a better trip to Greece. Every recommendation in our planner and every guide on our blog is rooted in real experience — places we've actually been, food we've actually eaten, ferries we've actually taken.

We write the kind of travel advice we'd want to find ourselves: practical, honest, and specific. If a popular destination is overhyped for certain travelers, we'll say so. If a lesser-known spot is extraordinary, we'll tell you exactly why and how to get there.

We also supplement first-hand experience with careful research — checking current prices, ferry schedules, opening hours, and local regulations. But research alone is never enough. The core of every guide is always personal experience from someone who has been there.

While all content on Greek Trip Planner is free, the site needs revenue to keep running. Here's exactly how we generate income:

We like affiliate links as a revenue model because they're relevant, helpful to you, and we maintain full editorial control. No one tells us what to write or what to link to. In most cases, we don't even have direct contact with the companies — the links use automated systems. We can recommend or un-recommend anything at any time.

This is the part we care about most. Our affiliate relationships never influence our recommendations. Here's how we ensure that:

• ●We recommend first, monetize second. We choose what to recommend based on quality and experience. Only after making that editorial decision do we check if an affiliate link is available. If it isn't, the recommendation stays anyway.
• ●We include negative opinions. If a popular hotel is overpriced or a famous restaurant has declined, we say so — even if it means losing potential affiliate revenue.
• ●We disclose clearly. Blog posts containing affiliate links include a disclosure notice at the top. You always know when links may generate revenue for us.
• ●We'd give the same advice to family. This is our gut check. If we wouldn't recommend a place to our own parents or friends visiting Greece, it doesn't make it into our content.

We use AI in two distinct ways, and we think it's important to be clear about both:

Travel information changes constantly. A restaurant that was excellent last year might have changed owners. A ferry route might have been discontinued. We do our best to keep everything current, but we're a small team covering a lot of ground.

We review and update our most popular guides regularly. When we update a guide, we note significant changes. If destinations or details have changed, please let us know — reader feedback is one of the most valuable ways we keep content accurate.

A note on prices: All prices mentioned in our guides are approximate and based on the time of writing. Greek tourism prices can vary significantly by season, and costs for things like ferries and accommodations change annually. Always verify current prices before booking.

We use a mix of original photography taken by our team and licensed stock photography. We try to select images that accurately represent each destination — not overly filtered or misleading “golden hour only” shots that make everywhere look like paradise. Greece is beautiful enough without needing to fake it.
