Frequently Asked Questions
How do I organize my trip to Greece?
Steps for planning a trip to Greece:
1. Set your budget.
2. Choose your dates.

4. Book your plane, train, bus, or ferry tickets.
5. Plan your day-to-day itinerary.

10. Create a packing list to ensure you have everything you’ll need/want to bring to Greece.
How many days in Greece is enough?
You need at least two days to explore Athens properly, and I’d highly recommend staying here a third day to take a day trip to Cape Sounion, The Meteora Monasteries, or Delphi. Then you need at least three days on each island you want to visit.
How far in advance should I plan a trip to Greece?
You should start planning international trips a year in advance. Once you have your dates set, begin researching flight, accommodation, and rental car prices. You can set price alerts when there are deals, but as a general rule of thumb, the earlier you book, the cheaper the cost will be, especially if you’re traveling in the peak summer months.
You’ll want to make activity reservations about three months in advance to ensure availability.

How can I get to Greece cheap?

1. Visit in the shoulder or off-seasons.
2. Don’t eat at restaurants near famous landmarks.
3. Do free self-guided walking tours.
4. Stay in hostels.
5. Rent a moped instead of a car.

8. Eat out for lunch instead of dinner.
9. Drink local beer and wine.
10. Book plane tickets, accommodation, rental cars, and tours in advance.
What is the best time to fly to Greece?
Greece’s High Season is from June to August. During these months, everything is open – sights, tours, transportation, etc. But accommodation prices can be double what they are the rest of the year, and tourists and temperatures will be at their highest.
The Shoulder Season from April to May and September to October is considered the best time to visit Greece. Accommodation prices are about 20% lower, and the temperature and tourist numbers are lower. But internal flights and ferries have reduced schedules, and April and October will be quite cold at the beaches.
Some islands close their beaches from October to April, so check on this before finalizing your plans.
The Low Season is from November to March, when accommodation rates can drop by as much as 50%. But many hotels, sights, and restaurants shut down, especially on the islands, ferry schedules are limited, and it will be cold. The mainland usually has snow during these months.
If you want to be lying out on an island beach, you need to go from May-September.
Is Greece a cheap place to visit?
Greece is a relatively inexpensive destination compared to most other Western and Central-European countries.
