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, showcasing ancient Greek architecture and history. The ancient theater of Epidaurus, known for its remarkable acoustics, is another highlight. For something different, explore the Minoan Palace of Knossos on Crete, a fascinating glimpse into a lost civilization. And don't forget the Meteora monasteries, perched dramatically on towering rock formations 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. Ferries connect hundreds of islands, each with its own unique charm. Exploring ancient ruins is another popular activity; Delphi, Olympia, and Mycenae are all significant archaeological sites. Relaxing on the beautiful beaches, from the cosmopolitan shores of Mykonos to the secluded coves of Crete, is a must. Hiking in the mountains, particularly on Crete or in the Pindus range, offers stunning views and invigorating exercise. Finally, taking a cooking class to learn the secrets of Greek cuisine is a delicious way to connect with the culture.
The best time to visit is generally during the shoulder seasons – spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October). The weather is pleasant, the crowds are smaller, and prices are often lower than in the peak summer months (June-August), which can be very hot and crowded. However, if you prefer warm weather and don't mind the crowds, summer offers the best swimming conditions.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Greece?
Which neighborhoods or areas are best for spending a week in Greece?
For a week-long trip, consider exploring different regions. Athens offers a blend of ancient history and modern city life; Plaka, a historic neighborhood near the Acropolis, is charming. Santorini provides breathtaking sunsets and volcanic landscapes. Crete offers diverse landscapes, from beaches to mountains, with Chania and Rethymno as popular towns. The Cyclades islands, including Mykonos and Naxos, are great for island hopping.
Which parts of Greece are perfect for a weekend getaway?
For a quick escape, Athens is easily accessible and offers a wealth of historical sites and vibrant neighborhoods. Hydra, a car-free island in the Saronic Gulf, is perfect for a relaxing weekend. Nafplio, a picturesque town in the Peloponnese, offers a blend of history and charming seaside atmosphere. Delos, a small island near Mykonos, is a significant archaeological site with a rich history.
Is renting a car recommended for exploring Greece?
Renting a car can be beneficial for exploring the mainland and some larger islands, offering flexibility to visit less accessible areas. However, parking can be challenging in cities, and driving on some smaller islands or mountainous roads can be difficult. Public transportation, including buses and ferries, is efficient and affordable in many areas, especially on the islands.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Greece?
Credit cards are widely accepted in most tourist areas, particularly in larger cities and on the islands. However, smaller establishments, especially in rural areas, may prefer cash. It's always a good idea to have some Euros on hand, especially for smaller purchases or in less touristy locations.
What are the largest airports in Greece?
The largest airports are Athens International Airport (ATH) and Thessaloniki International Airport (SKG). These airports serve as major gateways for international flights and connect to other destinations within the country.
Are there any unwritten rules of behavior visitors should know about Greece?
Greeks value hospitality and strong social connections. A simple 'kalimera' (good morning) or 'kalispera' (good evening) goes a long way. Taking your time and enjoying meals is considered important; don't rush through a meal. Respect religious sites by dressing modestly. Learning a few basic Greek phrases is always appreciated.
What local specialties should you try in Greece?
Greek cuisine is renowned worldwide. Must-tries include moussaka (a layered eggplant casserole), souvlaki (grilled meat skewers), gyros (similar to souvlaki, often served in pita bread), spanakopita (spinach pie), and fresh seafood. Don't forget to sample local cheeses like feta and olives, and indulge in delicious pastries like baklava.
Where are the best shopping spots in Greece?
Athens offers a wide range of shopping options, from high-end boutiques in Kolonaki to traditional shops in Plaka. Monastiraki is known for its flea market. The islands also offer unique shopping experiences, with local crafts and souvenirs. Mykonos is known for its designer boutiques, while Santorini offers charming shops selling local pottery and jewelry.
What signature events or festivals take place in Greece?
Greece hosts numerous festivals throughout the year. The Athens Festival, a summer event featuring theater, music, and dance performances, is a highlight. Many islands celebrate patron saint days with religious processions and festivities. Smaller, local festivals celebrate harvests and other traditions, varying by region and time of year.
What’s the best place in Greece for mild and comfortable weather?
The islands of the Cyclades and Dodecanese tend to offer mild and comfortable weather for a large part of the year. Places like Naxos, Paros, and Rhodes often have pleasant temperatures even during the shoulder seasons, avoiding the extreme heat of the summer months.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Greece?
Common mistakes include not booking accommodations or ferries in advance, particularly during peak season. Overpacking can be a problem, especially when using public transportation. Not learning basic Greek phrases can limit interactions with locals. Ignoring the midday sun during the hottest months can lead to heatstroke. Failing to research local customs and etiquette can also lead to misunderstandings.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Greece?
Beyond the well-known sites, consider exploring less-visited islands like Folegandros or Koufonisia in the Cyclades. The Mani Peninsula in the Peloponnese offers dramatic landscapes and traditional stone tower houses. Zagori, in the Pindus Mountains of Epirus, is a region of stunning natural beauty with traditional villages and hiking trails. The Samaria Gorge on Crete is a breathtaking natural wonder.
