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. The ancient theater of Epidaurus, known for its remarkable acoustics, is another highlight. For stunning natural beauty, the Samaria Gorge on Crete and the Meteora monasteries in Thessaly are breathtaking. Don't forget the Palace of Knossos on Crete, a significant Minoan archaeological site.
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 islands offers diverse landscapes and charming villages. Hiking in the mountains, like those in the Pindus range, provides stunning views. Relaxing on the beautiful beaches, such as those in Mykonos or Santorini, is a must. Visiting ancient sites and museums offers a rich historical and cultural immersion. Consider a cooking class to learn to prepare traditional Greek dishes.
The best time to visit is generally during the shoulder seasons – spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October). The weather is pleasant, crowds are smaller, and prices are often lower than in the peak summer months (June-August). Summer offers warm sunny days perfect for swimming and sunbathing but can get very hot, especially on the islands.
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 Athens for its historical sites and vibrant city life, followed by a few days on an island like Santorini or Crete. Alternatively, base yourself in a region like the Peloponnese, exploring sites like Olympia and Mycenae, and enjoying the beautiful coastline. Each area offers a different experience.
Which parts of Greece are perfect for a weekend getaway?
Nafplio, a charming town in the Peloponnese, offers a mix of history, beautiful scenery, and delicious food. Hydra, a car-free island in the Saronic Gulf, provides a peaceful escape with stunning harbor views. Delphi, with its ancient sanctuary and dramatic mountain setting, offers a rich historical experience.
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 transportation is available, but it can be limited in some areas, making a car much more convenient for reaching remote beaches, villages, and archaeological sites. Driving in Athens can be challenging, however.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Greece?
Credit cards are widely accepted in larger cities and tourist areas. However, smaller establishments, especially in rural areas, may prefer cash. It's always a good idea to have some Euros on hand, particularly for smaller purchases or in less touristy locations.
What are the largest airports in Greece?
Athens International Airport (ATH) is the largest and busiest airport, serving Athens and the surrounding region. Heraklion International Airport (HER) on Crete and Thessaloniki International Airport (SKG) in northern Greece are also major airports.
Are there any unwritten rules of behavior visitors should know about in Greece?
Greeks are generally very welcoming and hospitable. Learning a few basic Greek phrases is appreciated. It's customary to greet people with a handshake or a kiss on the cheek (depending on the relationship). Maintaining eye contact during conversations is important. Showing respect for religious sites and customs is also crucial.
What local specialties should you try in Greece?
Greek cuisine is renowned worldwide. Must-try dishes include moussaka (a layered eggplant and meat casserole), souvlaki (grilled meat skewers), gyros (similar to souvlaki, often served in pita bread), and spanakopita (spinach and feta pie). Don't forget to sample fresh seafood, olives, and Greek yogurt.
Where are the best shopping spots in Greece?
Athens offers a variety of shopping options, from high-end boutiques in Kolonaki to the bustling Monastiraki flea market. The islands also offer unique shopping experiences, with local crafts, jewelry, and clothing. Santorini is known for its volcanic rock jewelry, while Mykonos offers a mix of high-end and local boutiques.
What signature events or festivals take place in Greece?
Greece hosts many festivals throughout the year. The Athens Festival, a major summer event, features theater, music, and dance performances. Numerous religious festivals, like Easter, are celebrated with vibrant processions and traditions. Local wine festivals are common, celebrating the country's rich viticultural heritage.
What’s the best place in Greece for mild and comfortable weather?
For mild and comfortable weather, the islands of the Ionian Sea, such as Corfu and Zakynthos, or regions in the Peloponnese, tend to have a more moderate climate compared to the Cyclades during the peak summer months. Spring and autumn offer pleasant temperatures across much of the country.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Greece?
Overplanning can lead to missed opportunities for spontaneous exploration. Not learning a few basic Greek phrases can hinder interactions. Underestimating the importance of sunscreen and staying hydrated, especially during the summer months, is common. Failing to book accommodation and transportation in advance, particularly during peak season, can be problematic.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Greece?
The Mani Peninsula in the Peloponnese, with its dramatic landscape and traditional stone towers, is a lesser-known area worth exploring. The island of Folegandros in the Cyclades offers a more tranquil alternative to the more popular islands. The charming village of Arachova, nestled in the mountains near Delphi, provides stunning views and traditional architecture.
