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 stunning natural beauty, the Meteora monasteries, perched atop towering rock formations, 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 allows you to discover diverse islands, each with its own unique character. Relaxing on the beautiful beaches, such as Elafonisi in Crete or Navagio Beach in Zakynthos, is a must. Delve into the rich history and culture by visiting ancient sites and museums. Hiking in the mountains, such as Mount Olympus, offers stunning views and invigorating exercise. And of course, enjoying the delicious Greek cuisine is essential.
The ideal time to visit depends on your preferences. 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 escape and potentially lower prices.
What are the best family friendly hotels in Greece?
Which neighbourhoods or areas are best for spending a week in Greece?
For a week-long stay, consider Athens for its historical sites and vibrant city life, or a Cycladic island like Mykonos or Santorini for their stunning beaches and picturesque villages. Crete offers a diverse experience with mountains, beaches, and historical sites like Knossos. Rhodes Town, with its medieval architecture and beautiful beaches, is another excellent option.
Which parts of Greece are perfect for a weekend getaway?
Nafplio, a charming town in the Peloponnese, offers a blend of history and seaside relaxation. Hydra, a car-free island, is ideal for a peaceful escape. Delos, a small island near Mykonos, is a significant archaeological site and can be easily visited on a day trip. Santorini, while requiring more travel time, is worth a weekend for its stunning caldera views.
Is renting a car recommended for exploring Greece?
Renting a car can be beneficial for exploring the mainland and some larger islands, allowing you to visit more remote areas and enjoy greater flexibility. However, parking can be challenging in city centres, and driving on some smaller islands and mountainous areas can be difficult. Public transport and ferries are readily available in many areas.
What are the best hotels with a swimming pool in Greece?
Credit cards are widely accepted in larger cities and tourist areas, but it's advisable to carry some cash, especially for smaller establishments, particularly in more rural areas or on smaller islands.
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 value hospitality and politeness. 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). Being mindful of noise levels, particularly in the evenings, is also important. Respecting religious sites and customs is essential.
What local specialties should you try in Greece?
Greek cuisine is renowned globally. Moussaka, a layered casserole with eggplant, potatoes, and minced meat, is a classic. Souvlaki, grilled meat skewers, are a popular street food. Greek salad, with its fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, and feta cheese, is a refreshing option. Seafood is abundant and delicious, especially in coastal areas. Don't forget to try baklava, a rich, sweet pastry.
Where are the best shopping spots in Greece?
Athens offers a wide range of shopping options, from high-end boutiques in Kolonaki to traditional markets like the Varvakios Agora. Mykonos and Santorini are known for their stylish boutiques and shops selling local crafts. Crete also offers opportunities to buy local products, such as olive oil and honey.
What signature events or festivals take place in Greece?
Greece hosts numerous festivals throughout the year. The Athens Festival, featuring theatre, music, and dance performances, takes place during the summer months. The Patras Carnival is one of the largest and most vibrant carnivals in Europe, held before Lent. Numerous religious festivals and local celebrations are held throughout the country, often involving traditional music, dance, and food.
What’s the best place in Greece for mild and comfortable weather?
Southern Crete generally enjoys mild and comfortable weather year-round, due to its location and microclimate. The islands of the Dodecanese also tend to have pleasant temperatures for much of the year.
What are the most common travel mistakes tourists make in Greece?
One common mistake is not booking accommodation and ferries in advance, especially during peak season. Another is underestimating the distances between islands and destinations and not planning travel time adequately. Failing to learn a few basic Greek phrases can also hinder interactions with locals. Finally, not wearing appropriate footwear for exploring ancient sites and uneven terrain is a frequent oversight.
What are some hidden gems to explore in Greece?
The island of Folegandros in the Cyclades offers stunning scenery and a tranquil atmosphere, away from the crowds of more popular islands. The Samaria Gorge on Crete is a spectacular natural wonder, perfect for hiking. The Mani Peninsula in the Peloponnese features dramatic landscapes and traditional stone tower houses. Delphi, an ancient sanctuary, offers a captivating glimpse into Greek history and mythology.
