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 centerpiece, is a must-see. Then there are the ancient ruins of Delphi, a significant archaeological site. For something different, the Minoan Palace of Knossos on Crete offers a glimpse into a fascinating ancient civilization. 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 islands by ferry is a fantastic way to see diverse landscapes and charming villages. Hiking is another popular activity, with trails ranging from easy coastal walks to challenging mountain ascents. Relaxing on the beaches, of course, is a must. And don't miss the chance to experience the vibrant nightlife in cities like Mykonos or Athens.
The best time to visit is generally spring (April-May) or fall (September-October). The weather is pleasant, the crowds are smaller than in the peak summer months, and prices are often lower. Summer (June-August) is hot and crowded, but ideal for swimming and sunbathing. Winter (November-March) can be quite mild in some areas, but some islands might have limited services.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Greece?
Which neighborhoods or areas are best for spending a week in Greece?
For a week, consider exploring Athens and one or two islands. In Athens, Plaka is a charming historic neighborhood. For islands, Mykonos offers a vibrant atmosphere, while Santorini is known for its stunning caldera views. Crete provides a more diverse experience with mountains, beaches, and historical sites. Rhodes offers a mix of ancient history and beautiful beaches.
Which parts of Greece are perfect for a weekend getaway?
Nafplio, a picturesque town in the Peloponnese, is easily accessible from Athens and offers a blend of history and seaside charm. Hydra, a car-free island in the Saronic Gulf, is perfect for a relaxing escape. Delphi, with its ancient ruins and stunning mountain scenery, is a good option for history buffs. For a beach getaway, consider a quick trip to one of the nearby islands from Athens like Aegina or Poros.
Is renting a car recommended for exploring Greece?
Renting a car can be beneficial for exploring the mainland and some larger islands, offering greater flexibility. However, driving in Athens can be challenging, and parking can be difficult. On smaller islands, a car might not be necessary, as public transportation or walking is often sufficient. Ferries are essential for island hopping.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Greece?
Credit cards are widely accepted in larger cities and tourist areas, but smaller establishments, especially in more rural locations, may prefer cash. It's always a good idea to have some Euros on hand.
What are the largest airports in Greece?
Athens International Airport (ATH) is the largest and busiest airport, serving as the main gateway to the country. Other significant airports include Thessaloniki International Airport (SKG) and Heraklion International Airport (HER) on Crete.
Are there any unwritten rules of behavior visitors should know about in Greece?
Greeks value hospitality and strong social connections. A simple 'kalimera' (good morning) or 'kalispera' (good evening) goes a long way. It's considered polite to take your time with meals and enjoy conversations. Showing respect for religious sites and customs is important. Learning a few basic Greek phrases is also appreciated.
What local specialties should you try in Greece?
Greek cuisine is diverse! You must try souvlaki (grilled meat skewers), moussaka (eggplant casserole), gyros (meat wrapped in pita bread), and fresh seafood. Don't forget to sample local cheeses like feta and olives. Baklava is a popular sweet treat.
Where are the best shopping spots in Greece?
Athens offers a wide variety of shopping opportunities, from high-end boutiques in Kolonaki to the flea market at Monastiraki. Island towns often have charming local shops selling souvenirs, clothing, and handicrafts. Larger cities like Thessaloniki also have good shopping malls and department stores.
What signature events or festivals take place in Greece?
Greece hosts many festivals throughout the year. The Athens Festival features theatre, music, and dance performances. The Patras Carnival is a major event with parades and celebrations. Numerous religious festivals are celebrated locally, often with processions and traditional feasts.
What’s the best place in Greece for mild and comfortable weather?
The islands of the Cyclades and Dodecanese tend to have mild weather for much of the year, especially during the shoulder seasons (spring and fall). Areas like Crete also enjoy a generally pleasant climate.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Greece?
Overpacking is a common mistake. Wearing inappropriate footwear for walking on uneven surfaces, especially in ancient ruins, can be uncomfortable. Not learning a few basic Greek phrases can also make interactions more difficult. Failing to make reservations, particularly during peak season, can be problematic for accommodation and popular activities.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Greece?
The island of Folegandros in the Cyclades is less crowded than its neighbors, offering stunning beaches and traditional villages. The Mani Peninsula in the Peloponnese has dramatic landscapes and historic tower houses. Samaria Gorge on Crete is a spectacular hiking destination. Exploring smaller, less-visited islands is always a rewarding experience.
