Frequently asked questions about hotels in Greece
What are the best landmarks to visit in Greece?
Greece boasts countless iconic 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, offers a glimpse into classical Greece. The Minoan Palace of Knossos in Crete reveals a fascinating Bronze Age civilisation. For stunning natural beauty, the Meteora monasteries, perched atop towering rock formations, are unforgettable.
What are the most popular 2, 3 and 4-star hotels in Greece?
Island hopping is a quintessential Greek experience; exploring the Cyclades or the Dodecanese offers diverse landscapes and charming villages. Relaxing on the beautiful beaches, from the cosmopolitan shores of Mykonos to the secluded coves of Crete, is a must. Delving into the country's rich history with visits to archaeological sites and museums is also highly recommended. Consider a cooking class to learn the secrets of Greek cuisine.
The ideal time to visit depends on your priorities. Shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October) offer pleasant weather, 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 the south but can be chilly in the north, ideal for those seeking a quieter experience.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Greece?
Which areas are best for spending a week in Greece?
A week allows for a good exploration of a region. The islands of Crete or Rhodes offer diverse landscapes, beaches, historical sites and charming towns. Alternatively, exploring the Peloponnese peninsula provides a blend of ancient ruins, stunning coastlines and picturesque villages. For a more city-focused trip, combining Athens with a nearby island like Aegina or Hydra is a great option.
Which parts of Greece are perfect for a weekend getaway?
For a short break, consider Athens, with its ancient wonders and vibrant modern life. Hydra, a car-free island, offers a tranquil escape with beautiful harbour views. Nafplio, a charming town in the Peloponnese, boasts Venetian architecture and a picturesque waterfront.
Is renting a car recommended for exploring Greece?
Renting a car offers flexibility, especially for exploring the mainland and less accessible islands. However, driving in Athens can be challenging, and parking can be difficult. Public transport is efficient in many areas, particularly on the islands and in major cities. Consider your itinerary and comfort level before deciding.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Greece?
Credit cards are widely accepted in larger establishments, hotels, and tourist areas. However, smaller businesses, especially in rural areas, may prefer cash. It's advisable to carry some cash, particularly for smaller purchases and in less touristy locations.
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. Heraklion International Airport (HER) on Crete and Thessaloniki International Airport (SKG) in northern Greece are also significant hubs.
Are there any unwritten rules of behaviour visitors should know about Greece?
Greeks are generally warm and welcoming, but it's polite to greet people with a 'kalimera' (good morning/day) or 'kalispera' (good evening). Showing respect for religious sites by dressing modestly is appreciated. Taking your time and enjoying the slower pace of life is part of the Greek experience.
What local specialties should you try in Greece?
Greek cuisine is renowned for its fresh ingredients and simple yet flavourful dishes. Moussaka, a layered eggplant casserole, is a classic. Souvlaki, grilled meat skewers, are a popular street food. Greek salad, with its feta cheese, olives, and tomatoes, is a refreshing option. Don't forget to try fresh seafood and local wines.
Where are the best shopping spots in Greece?
Athens offers a mix of high-street brands and traditional shops. The Monastiraki flea market is a great place to find souvenirs. Island towns like Mykonos and Santorini offer boutiques selling local crafts and designer goods. For traditional products, explore local markets across the country.
What signature events or festivals take place in Greece?
Greece hosts numerous festivals throughout the year. The Athens Festival, a summer event featuring theatre, music and dance performances, is a highlight. Numerous religious festivals, such as Easter, are celebrated with vibrant processions and traditions. Local wine festivals also take place across the country.
What’s the best place in Greece for mild and comfortable weather?
Southern regions of Greece, such as Crete and the Peloponnese, generally experience milder winters and warmer autumns than the northern parts of the country. The islands tend to have more moderate temperatures year-round compared to the mainland.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Greece?
Overpacking, not learning basic Greek phrases, and relying solely on credit cards are common mistakes. Failing to book accommodation and transport in advance, especially during peak season, can also lead to difficulties. Not respecting local customs and traditions can also cause misunderstandings.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Greece?
The island of Folegandros, with its charming Cycladic architecture and stunning beaches, offers a quieter alternative to the more popular islands. The Samaria Gorge in Crete is a challenging but rewarding hike through a spectacular natural landscape. Delos, a small uninhabited island near Mykonos, is a significant archaeological site with ancient ruins.
