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, showcasing ancient Greek architecture and history. The ancient theatre of Epidaurus, renowned for its acoustics, offers a glimpse into classical drama. The Minoan Palace of Knossos on Crete reveals a fascinating Bronze Age civilisation. For something different, the Meteora monasteries, perched dramatically on sandstone pillars in Thessaly, are breathtaking.
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 stunning beaches, charming villages and vibrant nightlife. Delve into history with a guided tour of ancient sites like Delphi or Olympia. Relax on the beautiful beaches of Crete, Rhodes or Mykonos. Enjoy a traditional Greek cooking class, learning to prepare delicious dishes like moussaka or spanakopita. Take a boat trip to explore hidden coves and swim in crystal-clear waters.
The ideal time to visit depends on your preferences. Shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October) offer pleasant temperatures, fewer crowds, and lower prices. Summer (June-August) is hot and sunny, perfect for beach holidays, but expect higher prices and more tourists. Winter (November-March) is mild in the south but colder in the north, ideal for exploring historical sites with fewer crowds.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Greece?
Which neighbourhoods or areas are best for spending a week in Greece?
For a week, consider Athens for its historical sites and vibrant city life, or a Cycladic island like Mykonos or Santorini for a classic island experience. Crete offers diverse landscapes, from mountains to beaches, providing a week of varied activities. Rhodes Town, with its medieval architecture and beaches, is another excellent choice. The charming Plaka district in Athens offers a blend of history and modern amenities.
Which parts of Greece are perfect for a weekend getaway?
Nafplio, a picturesque town in the Peloponnese, offers a blend of history, beaches and charming streets, perfect for a romantic escape. Hydra, a car-free island in the Saronic Gulf, is ideal for a relaxing weekend, with its beautiful harbour and hiking trails. Delos, a small island near Mykonos, is a significant archaeological site, offering a glimpse into ancient Greek history. Santorini, while popular, can be enjoyed for a long weekend, focusing on its iconic caldera views and stunning sunsets.
Is renting a car recommended for exploring Greece?
Renting a car can be beneficial for exploring the Greek mainland and some larger islands, offering flexibility to visit less accessible areas. However, driving in Athens can be challenging, and parking can be difficult. Public transport is efficient in many areas, and ferries are the primary mode of transport between islands. 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 smaller establishments, particularly in rural areas, may prefer cash. It's advisable to carry some euros, especially for smaller purchases and tips.
What are the largest airports in Greece?
Athens International Airport (ATH) is the largest and busiest airport in Greece, serving as the main 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 value hospitality and strong social connections. A simple 'kalimera' (good morning) or 'kalispera' (good evening) goes a long way. Taking your time and enjoying the slower pace of life is appreciated. Learning a few basic Greek phrases is also well-received. Be mindful of noise levels, especially during siesta time in smaller villages.
What local specialties should you try in Greece?
Greek cuisine is renowned globally. Must-tries include moussaka (a layered eggplant casserole), souvlaki (grilled meat skewers), gyros (similar to a döner kebab), spanakopita (spinach pie), and fresh seafood. Don't forget to try local cheeses like feta and halloumi, and finish with a delicious baklava.
Where are the best shopping spots in Greece?
Athens offers a range of shopping experiences, from high-end boutiques in Kolonaki to traditional markets like the Varvakios Agora. Island towns like Mykonos and Santorini feature boutiques selling local crafts and designer goods. Monastiraki flea market in Athens is a great place to find souvenirs and antiques.
What signature events or festivals take place in Greece?
Greece hosts numerous festivals throughout the year. The Athens Festival showcases theatre, music, and dance performances. The Patras Carnival is a vibrant celebration with parades and costumes. Numerous religious festivals, celebrating patron saints of various towns and villages, take place throughout the year.
What’s the best place in Greece for mild and comfortable weather?
Southern Crete, particularly areas like Chania and Rethymno, generally enjoy mild and comfortable weather year-round, with warm sunshine and moderate temperatures even during winter.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Greece?
Common mistakes include overpacking, not learning basic Greek phrases, expecting everything to be open late at night (siesta time is common), and not booking accommodation and ferries in advance, especially during peak season. Failing to research the local customs and traditions can also lead to misunderstandings.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Greece?
The island of Symi, with its neoclassical architecture and charming harbour, is a hidden gem. The Samaria Gorge on Crete offers a stunning hiking experience. The Mani Peninsula in the Peloponnese, with its unique tower houses, is another lesser-known but fascinating destination. The remote islands of the Sporades archipelago offer tranquil escapes from the crowds.
