I took a solo trip to the Greek islands! I started in Mykonos, then moved on to Santorini, and finished in Milos.

- No.

- The Greek Islands were not empty nor too crowded. I traveled during the shoulder season, but even then, shops, restaurants, tours, etc. were still operating.
- Did you have to show proof of vaccination on location? For example, when entering restaurants, shops, events, etc.?
