Planning your trip to Greece Choose your season wisely Your experience in Greece will be wildly different depending on when you visit. Summer is tops for action, family fun, and swimming in the Mediterranean Sea, but prices are at their highest and pre-booking is necessary for everything since it's packed. The shoulder seasons (spring and autumn) are a delight – prices are lower and rooms and resources are more readily available. Winter offers a moody and budget-friendly retreat, great for walking, hiking and sedate travels where you will often be the only visitor around. Bear in mind that some businesses will shut down completely during the low season.

When I was a travel agent, a young mother came into my office one day seeking advice. She wanted to take a vacation to Mexico, and she had her two-year-old daughter along with her and her husband, but she was agonizing over some of the details. She didn't feel right leaving her daughter at home with a relative or a sitter but also wanted to make sure she'd have some time with her husband and to herself on the vacation. We discussed various options. She liked the idea of a cruise, but the prospect of time alone would be limited unless they brought a babysitter along with them, as most cruise lines' kids programming is for children age three and older.

It was all in a day's work for an agent with some years of experience, but it well-illustrates one of the trickier types of situations for travel consultants to encounter. In my time as an agent, I helped clients pu
