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, offers a glimpse into classical Greece. The Minoan Palace of Knossos in Crete reveals a fascinating Bronze Age civilisation. And don't forget the Meteora monasteries, perched dramatically on sandstone pillars in Thessaly – a truly unforgettable sight.
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 Samaria Gorge on Crete is a challenging but rewarding adventure. Delving into the history and culture of ancient sites like Delphi or Olympia is essential for any visitor. And of course, relaxing on one of Greece's many beautiful beaches is a must.
The best time to visit generally falls between April and June, or September and October. These shoulder seasons offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and lower prices than the peak summer months (July and August), which can be very hot and busy. However, each region has its own microclimate, so research your chosen destination's weather patterns.
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 a more in-depth exploration. The islands of Crete or Rhodes offer diverse landscapes, historical sites, and beautiful beaches. The Peloponnese peninsula provides a blend of ancient ruins, charming towns, and stunning coastline. Alternatively, exploring the mainland's central region, including Delphi and Meteora, offers a cultural and historical journey.
Which parts of Greece are perfect for a weekend getaway?
For a short break, Athens offers a blend of ancient history and modern city life. Naxos, one of the Cyclades islands, is easily accessible and provides a taste of island life. Alternatively, a weekend in Santorini offers iconic views and romantic sunsets, though it's more expensive.
Is renting a car recommended for exploring Greece?
Renting a car can be beneficial, especially for exploring the islands and less accessible areas of the mainland. However, parking can be challenging in larger cities, and driving on some of the smaller island roads can be tricky. Public transport is available, but it can be less frequent in some areas. Consider your itinerary and comfort level with driving before deciding.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Greece?
Credit cards are widely accepted in larger towns and tourist areas, but it's advisable to have some cash on hand, particularly in smaller villages and for smaller purchases. ATMs are readily available throughout the country.
What are the largest airports in Greece?
Athens International Airport (ATH) is the largest and busiest airport, serving as a major gateway to the country. Other significant 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 very welcoming and hospitable. Learning a few basic Greek phrases is always appreciated. It is considered polite to greet people with a 'kalimera' (good morning/day) or 'kalispera' (good evening). Meals are typically a social occasion, and taking your time is expected. Being respectful of religious sites and local customs is also important.
What local specialties should you try in Greece?
Greek cuisine is renowned worldwide. Moussaka, a layered eggplant casserole, is a classic. Souvlaki, grilled meat skewers, are a popular street food. Fresh seafood is abundant, especially on the islands. Greek salad, with its simple yet delicious combination of tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, and feta cheese, is a must-try. And don't forget the baklava, a rich, sweet pastry.
Where are the best shopping spots in Greece?
Athens offers a range of shopping options, from high-street brands to local boutiques. The Monastiraki flea market is a great place to find souvenirs and antiques. In the islands, you'll find many shops selling local crafts, jewellery, and clothing. Smaller towns and villages often have charming local shops selling unique products.
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. Many local communities celebrate patron saint days with religious processions and festivities. The wine festivals across the country provide opportunities to sample local wines and enjoy traditional food and music.
What’s the best place in Greece for mild and comfortable weather?
The islands of the Ionian Sea, such as Corfu and Zakynthos, tend to have milder weather than other parts of Greece, particularly in the summer. The spring and autumn months generally offer the most pleasant temperatures throughout the country.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Greece?
Underestimating the heat during the summer months is a common mistake. Not having enough cash on hand, particularly in smaller areas, can also be problematic. Failing to book accommodation and transport in advance, especially during peak season, can lead to difficulties. And neglecting to research local customs and traditions can sometimes lead to unintentional cultural faux pas.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Greece?
The island of Folegandros, in the Cyclades, offers stunning beaches and traditional architecture without the crowds of other islands. The Mani peninsula in the Peloponnese boasts dramatic landscapes and traditional stone tower houses. The remote island of Samothraki provides opportunities for hiking and exploring waterfalls. Each region holds many such lesser-known treasures waiting to be discovered.
