Frequently asked questions about hotels in Greece
What are the best landmarks to visit in Greece?
Greece boasts countless incredible landmarks. The Acropolis in Athens, with the Parthenon as its crowning glory, is a must-see. The ancient theatre of Epidaurus, renowned for its acoustics, is another highlight. For something different, explore the Minoan Palace of Knossos in Crete, a fascinating glimpse into Bronze Age civilisation. And don't forget the Meteora monasteries, perched dramatically on towering rock formations in Thessaly.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Greece?
Island hopping is a classic Greek experience. Exploring the Cyclades or the Dodecanese offers stunning beaches, charming villages, and vibrant nightlife. Hiking in the Samaria Gorge on Crete is a fantastic adventure for nature lovers. For a more relaxed pace, consider a cooking class learning to prepare traditional dishes like moussaka or spanakopita. And of course, taking a boat trip to explore hidden coves and swim in crystal-clear waters is a must.
The best time to visit depends on your preferences. Shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October) offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and lower prices. Summer (June-August) is hot and sunny, perfect for swimming and sunbathing, but expect higher prices and more tourists. Winter (November-March) is mild in southern Greece but can be chilly in the north, ideal for those seeking a quieter experience and lower prices.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Greece?
Which regions or areas are best for spending a week in Greece?
A week allows for exploring a region in depth. The islands of Crete or Rhodes offer diverse landscapes, from mountains and gorges to beautiful beaches and historical sites. Alternatively, exploring the Peloponnese peninsula provides a mix of ancient ruins, charming towns, and stunning coastal scenery. For a more focused experience, consider exploring the Cyclades islands, focusing on a few key islands like Mykonos, Santorini, and Naxos.
Which parts of Greece are perfect for a weekend getaway?
For a quick escape, Athens offers a blend of ancient history and modern city life. You could easily spend a weekend exploring the Acropolis, the Plaka district, and the National Archaeological Museum. Alternatively, a weekend on a nearby island like Hydra or Aegina provides a taste of island life without requiring extensive travel time.
Is renting a car recommended for exploring Greece?
Renting a car is highly recommended, especially if you plan to explore beyond the major cities and islands. Public transport is available, but a car offers greater flexibility, especially for reaching remote beaches, villages, and archaeological sites. However, driving in some areas, particularly in Athens, can be challenging. Consider your comfort level before renting.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Greece?
Credit cards are widely accepted in larger cities and tourist areas, but it's always advisable to have some cash on hand, especially in smaller villages and for smaller purchases. Many smaller establishments may prefer cash transactions.
What are the largest airports in Greece?
Athens International Airport (ATH) is the largest and busiest airport in Greece. Other major airports include Thessaloniki International Airport (SKG) in northern Greece, and Heraklion International Airport (HER) on Crete.
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about Greece?
Greeks are generally warm and welcoming, but it's polite to learn a few basic Greek phrases. Showing respect for religious sites by dressing modestly is appreciated. It's also customary to greet people with a handshake or a kiss on the cheek (depending on the relationship). And remember that meals are often a social occasion, taking time to enjoy food and conversation.
What local specialties should you try in Greece?
Greek cuisine is incredibly diverse. You must try souvlaki (grilled meat skewers), moussaka (a layered eggplant casserole), and spanakopita (spinach and feta pie). Fresh seafood is abundant, especially on the islands. Don't forget to sample local cheeses like feta and halloumi, and finish your meal with a delicious baklava.
Where are the best shopping spots in Greece?
Athens offers a variety of shopping opportunities, from high-end boutiques in Kolonaki to the bustling markets of Monastiraki. The islands also offer unique shopping experiences, with local crafts, jewellery, and clothing available in many towns and villages. For souvenirs, look for ceramics, olive oil, and honey.
What signature events or festivals take place in Greece?
Greece hosts many festivals throughout the year. The Athens Festival, a summer event featuring theatre, music, and dance, is a highlight. Numerous religious festivals are celebrated throughout the year, with local variations in customs and traditions. Many islands also host their own unique festivals celebrating local saints or traditions.
What’s the best place in Greece for mild and comfortable weather?
Southern Greece, particularly areas like Crete and the islands of the Dodecanese, generally experience milder weather throughout the year. These regions benefit from the influence of the Mediterranean Sea, leading to more moderate temperatures even in winter.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Greece?
One common mistake is not booking accommodation and flights in advance, especially during peak season. Another is failing to research transportation options and relying solely on taxis. Underestimating the heat during summer months is also a frequent issue. Finally, not learning a few basic Greek phrases can sometimes create communication barriers.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Greece?
The island of Folegandros in the Cyclades offers stunning beaches and traditional villages without the crowds of Mykonos or Santorini. The Mani Peninsula in the Peloponnese boasts dramatic landscapes, tower houses, and hidden coves. Exploring the less-visited islands of the Dodecanese, like Symi or Nisyros, offers a more authentic Greek experience.
