I cannot say enough good things about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visiting Greece is always the highlight of my summer European travels. There\u2019s just something magical about this country. There\u2019s an energy in the air and you can\u2019t help but think, \u201cMaybe I should never leave?\u201d It sucks you in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/the-greek-islands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Greek islands<\/a> get the most attention, the interior of the country \u2014 with its small towns, historic ruins, and mountain hikes \u2014 is too often overlooked and underappreciated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, while you may have a strong desire to stick to the islands, try to get to some of the places in the interior if you can. You won&#8217;t regret it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This Greece travel guide combines all my knowledge and experience to help you plan an epic, affordable trip!<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id5522_f021c0-66

Greece<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2022\/greece2.jpg\" alt=\"View of cliffside monasteries in Meteroa, Greece\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Visit the Acropolis<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Located in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/greece-travel-tips\/athens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Athens<\/a>, this magnificent hilltop complex from the 5th century BCE includes ancient buildings and ruins like the temple to Athena and the famous Parthenon. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this is an excellent place to learn about the city&#8217;s history. You&#8217;ll also get to enjoy an expansive view of the skyline and the nearby ruins. During the summer, it&#8217;s swarming with tourists so get there early. Admission is 20 EUR, or for 30 EUR you can get a 5-day combined ticket that includes many other archaeological sites in Athens. For a guided tour, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/athens-l91\/the-acropolis-of-athens-skip-the-line-guided-walking-tour-t224313\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&amp;placement=content-middle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Athens Walking Tours<\/a> runs guided tours for around 55 EUR (including admission) that skip the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Discover historic Crete<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/greece-travel-tips\/crete\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Crete<\/a> has a long, long history. It was once home to the ancient Minoan civilization (which predated Greek civilization), and you can still visit the Bronze Age ruins of Knossos, the ancient capital of the Minoan empire (also considered the oldest city in Europe). The island is the largest in all of Greece and has beautiful beaches (including a beach with pink sand), plentiful hiking, quaint towns, and delicious food and wine. It\u2019s affordable and because of the island\u2019s size, you can still escape the summer crowds. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/crete-l404\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;cmp=TTDGreece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Don&#8217;t skip this island!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Hike up Mount Olympus<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Mount Olympus is the legendary home of the Greek gods. Any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/litochoro-l149942\/enipeas-mount-olympus-half-day-hiking-tour-with-a-guide-t397567\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;cmp=TTDGreece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">climb to Mount Olympus<\/a> starts from the town of Litochoro, 150 kilometers (93 miles) south of Thessaloniki. At 2,917 meters (9,570 feet) high, it&#8217;s the tallest mountain in Greece. The hike up is both strenuous and mystical. As you climb, it becomes abundantly clear why Greeks thought it was this mountain from which the gods ruled!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. See Meteora&#8217;s monasteries<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Meteora is famous for its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/athens-l91\/from-athens-meteora-in-one-day-rail-tour-t227236\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;cmp=TTDGreece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">monasteries that sit atop sheer rock mountains<\/a>. They are a stunning sight to see and worth the steep trek up to the top. The monasteries date back to the 9th-10th centuries when Orthodox Christian hermit monks isolated themselves on the cliffs and in the many caves in the area. In the 12th century, the monastic community became more organized and in the 14th century the Great Meteoron Monastery was constructed (one of the ones that you can visit today). Although more than twenty monasteries used to perch on these sandstone cliffs, only six remain today. They are still active, with around 50 nuns and 17 monks living here. It&#8217;s a 3 EUR entrance fee per monastery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Explore the islands<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/the-greek-islands\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Greek islands<\/a> are some of the best and most popular in the world. Soak in the sun, admire the white sand and blue-roofed houses, see the windmills (an iconic feature of the Cyclades) and just relax. Some highlights are Milos, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/greece-travel-tips\/santorini\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Santorini<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/greece-travel-tips\/ios\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ios<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/greece-travel-tips\/mykonos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mykonos<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/greece-travel-tips\/naxos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Naxos<\/a>, Zakynthos, Rhodes, and Kos.

Start in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/greece-travel-tips\/athens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Athens<\/a> with the museums, the Acropolis and surrounding ruins in the Agora, and then set off to explore the ruins of Delphi, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/greece-travel-tips\/sparta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sparta<\/a>, Corinth, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/greece-travel-tips\/crete\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Crete<\/a>. There are also great archaeological museums everywhere to see artifacts up close and learn even more. This country is a history lover&#8217;s dream!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Explore Sparta<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/greece-travel-tips\/sparta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sparta<\/a> was the ancient rival of Athens and known for its fierce warriors (the entertaining but historically-inaccurate film <em>300<\/em> was based on the Spartans). The city has a long history and plenty of ruins to explore. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/sparta-l122170\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;cmp=TTDGreece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">There is no shortage of things to do<\/a>, museums to visit, excursions to take, and places to eat when you visit the city. Be sure to check out the King Leonidas statue, visit the Archeological Museum, and explore the Diros Caves. I especially enjoyed the Museum of the Olive and Olive Oil, which takes you through how olives have become a staple of everyday life in Greece. It\u2019s an often-overlooked city even though it&#8217;s only a 2.5-hour drive southwest of Athens. It&#8217;s a great place to learn some history without the crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Attend the Athens Epidaurus Festival<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Every summer, the Athens Epidaurus Festival hosts concerts and performance theater, including reenactments of famous Greek plays. There are operas, indie musicians, dance performances, lectures, and more. It\u2019s a unique celebration of the performing arts in all their forms and worth your time if you\u2019re in the city when it\u2019s happening. Started in 1955, it\u2019s one of the country\u2019s top cultural events and runs for the whole summer (May-October). If it coincides with your visit, you\u2019ll see just how proud the Greeks are of their past. Tickets for each performance cost as little as 5 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Soak up the sun in Corfu<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The Cyclades Islands may get all the press but sunny <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/greece-travel-tips\/corfu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Corfu<\/a> on Greece\u2019s west coast is also a good place to enjoy the beach too. It\u2019s a popular destination for young backpackers, but once you get out of the main town, you can avoid them and their partying ways and get the island to yourself! There are plenty of quiet beaches, ancient ruins, and beautiful villages to explore. I especially recommend checking out the Achilleion a palace from 1890 as well as Nymfes Village, historic Corfu Town, and the incredible views from Angelokastro Castle. You&#8217;re just a stone&#8217;s throw away from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/albania-travel-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Albania<\/a> too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Explore the Delphi Ruins<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Delphi was a place of spiritual significance to the ancient Greeks. Located around 2.5 hours northwest of Athens, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is where the omniscient Oracle would contact the god Apollo and give his advice to those seeking good fortune. Although the eternal flame no longer burns inside the temple, a visit to the Temple of Apollo is obligatory if you&#8217;re nearby. Admission is 12 EUR and includes entry to the museum as well as the archaeological site itself (which includes far more than just the Temple of Apollo). There are a lot of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/athens-l91\/delphi-day-trip-from-athens-t691\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;cmp=TTDGreece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">day trips to Delphi from Athens<\/a> starting around 48 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Explore Melissani Cave<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/sami-l146573\/shore-excursion-melissani-drogarati-caves-t446537\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;cmp=TTDGreece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">This otherworldly cave grotto<\/a> can be accessed by a short yet postcard-worthy boat tour. Located on the island of Kefalonia on the western side of Greece, here you can admire the seemingly magical ultramarine waters and the monumental walls that envelope you as you make your way through this hidden underground landscape. I love how you can see the lush forest and trees just above the cave walls. It\u2019s totally surreal and the water is so clear that it looks like the boats are floating on glass. Admission is 7 EUR and includes the boat ride.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Hike the Samaria Gorge<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/crete-l404\/from-chania-full-day-samaria-gorge-trek-excursion-t115183\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;cmp=TTDGreece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Samaria Gorge<\/a> in beautiful <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/greece-travel-tips\/crete\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Crete<\/a> is one of Greece\u2019s National Parks and a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. For outdoor enthusiasts, this is considered one of the best hikes in Greece. While it isn\u2019t the shortest or easiest trek (it&#8217;s 16 kilometers\/10 miles), the gorge does promise beautiful landscapes, fantastic photo opportunities, and a great workout. Along the way, you\u2019ll see the White Mountains and the trek ends at the lovely beach town of Agia Roumeli. The whole trek takes 5-7 hours to complete so make sure you bring water, sunscreen, and a hat as the heat can be overwhelming. The views are worth it though!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Experience the Patras Carnival<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Every year in mid-January, the city of Patras (located 2.5 hours west of Athens) hosts what is basically a month-and-a-half-long party that starts on January 17th and runs to the beginning of Lent. There\u2019s a slew of events both major and minor, increasingly crazy weekends, treasure hunts, and various costume parades (which even feature floats). It\u2019s a lively time and as the largest such festival in Greece, attracting tons of revelers. If you want to attend, it&#8217;s a good idea to make hotel reservations well in advance as things fill up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Tour the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The number one attraction in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/greece-travel-tips\/crete\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Crete<\/a>, this museum also happens to be Greece\u2019s second-largest archaeological museum (the museum in Athens is the largest). The artifacts here cover more than 5,500 years of history. One of my favorite pieces was a game board that dates all the way back to 1600 BC. The stunning collection here highlights the Cretan civilization (dating back from Neolithic times through to the Roman empire), with ancient pottery, jewelry, sarcophagi, colorful frescoes from Knossos, and more. Its Minoan collection is the most extensive in the world. You could easily spend hours here \u2014 especially if you love history like me. Admission is 12 EUR in the summer and 6 EUR in the winter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. Party on Ios<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/greece-travel-tips\/ios\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ios<\/a> has the wildest nightlife out of all the Greek islands. It is the summer party island where days are spent hungover on the beach and the nights are spent eating cheap food and drinking. If you don\u2019t want to do that but still want to see Ios, it\u2019s best to go to the eastern part of the island where it\u2019s quieter. Don\u2019t let Ios\u2019 party reputation deter you from visiting though, it\u2019s a beautiful, rugged island (and home to the grave of Homer, who wrote The Iliad and The Odyssey). It&#8217;s only busy from June-August so you can visit in the shoulder season to escape the party crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">11. Visit Thessaloniki<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>With more than 1 million inhabitants, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/thessaloniki-l115\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;cmp=TTDGreece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Thessaloniki<\/a> is Greece\u2019s second-largest city after Athens. Although it dates back to 315 BCE, a lot of the city was destroyed by fire in 1917 and then by bombing during World War II. The result is a combination of more modern European city urban planning alongside Early Christian, Roman, and Byzantine monuments. In fact, Thessaloniki has more UNESCO World Heritage Sites (15!) than any other city in Europe. Be sure to visit the White Tower, the Rotunda, the Arch of Galerius, and Galerius Palace as well as the many churches (such as the Hagia Sofia and Hagios Demetrios). There are also several great museums here, including the Archaeological Museum, the Museum of Byzantine Culture, the Jewish Museum, and the Olympic Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12. Go to Zakynthos<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Just south of Kefalonia in the Ionian Sea is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/zakynthos-l32286\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;cmp=TTDGreece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zakynthos<\/a>, one of Greece\u2019s most popular islands. With its soft, sandy beaches and charming villages, it\u2019s easy to see why this island is a fan favorite. It can be busy, particularly in the summer, so head away from the main tourist area (go north, west or inland) or visit in the off-season to escape the crowds. Zakynthos is also a breeding area for loggerhead turtles and you can see them on Lagana Beach or on Turtle Island but take care to do so responsibly. Other activities include seeing the Blue Caves, Marathonisi Islet, and Shipwreck Beach (you\u2019ll need to take a boat tour to get there). There are also tons of churches, monasteries, and ruins to check out too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13. Visit Monemvasia<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Monemvasia is a medieval castle town in Laconia on the coast of the Peloponnese, around 90 kilometers (56 miles) southeast of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/greece-travel-tips\/sparta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sparta<\/a>. It\u2019s a spectacular island to visit as it is built into the side of a huge rock! Monemvasia was founded by the Byzantines in the 6th century and is a quiet town perfect for relaxing on the beach before dining under the stars at seaside taverns or on cobbled streets in the town. There are ruins to explore and a mosque from the 16th century now houses the towns Archaeological Museum. You can also walk out to the lighthouse for incredible sea views. If you\u2019re into hiking, there are some trails that will take you past chapels and settlements up to hilltops to admire the views or down to secluded beaches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">14. Explore Ioannina<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Next to Lake Pamvotida in northwestern Greece, Ioannina is a castle town that is bursting with museums. Don&#8217;t miss the Byzantine Museum, the Ethnographic Museum, the Archaeological Museum, and the Silversmithing Museum (the area is well-known for its beautiful jewelry). Head to the castle at sunset for a peaceful end to your day. You can use the town as a base for exploring the nearby Pindus National Park, the Tzoumerka mountain chain, the Cave of Perama, and the Byzantine town of Arta as well. You won\u2019t need more than a couple of days here but it is well worth stopping if you are passing through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">15. Go wine tasting<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>While Greece isn&#8217;t as internationally renowned for wine as other European countries such as France or Spain, it should be. The Greek wine-making tradition goes back at least 6,500 years and is still going strong. Wine regions are spread across the country, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/greece-travel-tips\/crete\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Crete<\/a> has one of the oldest wine-making traditions (and over 30 wineries to visit around the island), while the wineries of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/greece-travel-tips\/santorini\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Santorini<\/a> make for an interesting tour due to the way that grape vines must be grown here (to protect against harsh winds). Wine tours start around 50 EUR for a full-day tour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">16. Take a cooking class<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Greek food is legendary. If you\u2019re a foodie like me and want to learn more about the cuisine and culture behind it, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/athens-l91\/athens-four-hour-cooking-class-with-market-visit-t197404\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;cmp=TTDGreece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">try a cooking class<\/a>. Bring a taste of your trip home by learning how to make some traditional recipes (including favorites like tzatziki and moussaka) while learning about the importance of each dish directly from a local chef. Cooking classes generally last 3-4 hours and cost 70-100 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">17. Take a boat tour<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/s\/?q=Greece+boat+tours&amp;searchSource=3&amp;partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A boat tour<\/a> is one of the best ways to see the islands, especially as some beaches are only accessible by water. You can find these on most of the islands and they\u2019ll take you to incredible places you can\u2019t get to by car. Most tours also have stops for snorkeling and lounging on the beach, and many include drinks and lunch. Half-day tours start at 20 EUR, while full-day tours are around 30 EUR. Prices can vary greatly depending on where you\u2019re taking the tour from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">18. Go diving<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Diving has become increasingly popular in the Greek Islands. On <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/greece-travel-tips\/mykonos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mykonos<\/a>, Paradise Reef has a large variety of marine life, including sponges, barracuda, octopus, and starfish. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/greece-travel-tips\/ios\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ios<\/a> is popular with beginners due to its crystal-clear waters and relatively calm waves. On the other hand, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-guides\/greece-travel-tips\/santorini\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Santorini<\/a> has less marine life but tons of shipwrecks. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/s\/?q=greece+shore+diving+tour&amp;searchSource=3&amp;partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Shore dives<\/a> start around 50 EUR, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/s\/?q=greece+tank+diving&amp;searchSource=3&amp;partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;utm_medium=online_publisher&quot;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a two-tank dive on a boat<\/a> starts around 70 EUR. You can also take a beginner discovery course for around 70 EUR or a variety of PADI courses starting at 65 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">19. Tour an olive oil farm<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>Greek olive oil is considered the best in the world and has been central to the country&#8217;s culture for tens of thousands of years (the Olive Oil Museum in Sparta has fossilized olive oil leaves from 60,000 years ago!). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.getyourguide.com\/crete-l404\/the-terra-creta-olive-oil-experience-tour-t142116\/?partner_id=LLKQJ38&amp;cmp=TTDGreece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Dive deep into the country&#8217;s olive oil tradition by visiting a farm<\/a> and taking a tour to learn more about this iconic staple. You\u2019ll usually get to walk through the olive groves and even have a tasting at the end. Tours are generally a couple of hours and start around 30 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-gyg-widget=\"auto\" data-gyg-partner-id=\"LLKQJ38\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on specific cities

Greece<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Greece is very safe for backpacking and solo travel. Violent attacks are uncommon. Petty crime is about the worst that could happen to you, specifically pickpocketing in Athens, where it is prevalent. Fortunately, Greek police have really cracked down on perpetrators. Nevertheless, be aware of your surroundings and keep your valuables out of sight when you&#8217;re in markets, on busy streets, or when using public transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solo female travelers should generally feel safe here. However, the standard safety precautions apply (never leave your drink unattended at the bar, never walk home alone intoxicated, etc.). For specific information about a place, check out one of the many incredible solo female travel blogs on the web. They\u2019ll give you tips and advice that I can\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You won&#8217;t find a lot of travel scams in the country but read this article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/avoid-travel-scams\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">common travel scams to avoid<\/a> so you know what to avoid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you go out hiking, always check the weather first. Bring sunscreen, water, and a hat. It can get incredibly hot here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be careful when driving as Greek drivers tend to be on the aggressive side and some of the roads aren&#8217;t very well maintained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you experience an emergency, dial 112 for assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always trust your gut instinct. Make copies of your personal documents, including your passport and ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most important piece of advice I can offer is to purchase good travel insurance. Travel insurance protects you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It\u2019s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I\u2019ve had to use it many times in the past.

Sure, islands like Santorini and Mykonos are expensive but, for the most part, if you are &#8220;keeping it local&#8221; you aren\u2019t going to spend a lot of money here. Here are my favorite ways to save money when you travel to Greece:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Use the Greek salad\/bread rule<\/strong> &#8211; If the bread cover is .50 EUR or a Greek salad is less than 7 EUR, the restaurant is cheap. If the cover is around 1 EUR and a salad is 7-8.50 EUR, the prices are average. Anything more than that and the place is expensive. Use this rule to figure out how to eat at cheap restaurants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Eat super cheap<\/strong> &#8211; Gyros and other street snacks only cost a few euros and can keep you full for around 15 EUR per day if you&#8217;re on a tight budget.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rent a moped<\/strong> &#8211; It\u2019s cheaper than a car and a fun way to see the various towns and cities \u2014 especially on the islands. You can usually rent a moped for around 15 EUR per day. Just drive carefully as Greek drivers tend to be aggressive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get off the beaten path<\/strong> &#8211; Greece is a cheap country and even cheaper when you get away from the touristy islands or popular destinations. Head off the beaten path and you usually see prices drop by 30% or more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Book overnight ferries<\/strong> &#8211; Greece\u2019s inter-island ferries can get expensive if you are visiting a lot of islands. Taking the overnight ferries can save you up to half off the normal price. Plus, it saves you a night of accommodation. Moreover, if you book the ferries around two months in advance, you can save up to 25% off the cost of your ticket.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get a ferry pass<\/strong> &#8211; Eurail has a ferry pass that has 4- and 6-trip options. The only caveat is that you can only take Blue Star and Hellenic Seaways ferries. Those tend to be the larger, slower ferries and, depending on the islands, might require you to connect somewhere. You\u2019ll need to research routes in advance to see if the pass is worth it. I would search routes on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ferryhopper.com\/en\/?aff_uid=nmdmtt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FerryHopper<\/a> to see if it works for you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Take public transportation<\/strong> &#8211; Buses, while sometimes running on inconvenient schedules, are the best way to get around Greece. Taxis are very expensive so minimize their use whenever you can and stick with the buses.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Visit in the off-season<\/strong> &#8211; July and August are the most expensive months, so skip the middle of summer if you&#8217;re on a budget. Prices will be significantly cheaper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stay with a local<\/strong> &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/how-to-crush-it-on-couchsurfing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Couchsurfing<\/a> is a great way to get a free place to stay and meet locals. There are a ton of hosts throughout the country (I stayed with one in Athens) and it\u2019s my favorite way to get to know the \u201creal\u201d Greece.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Buy wine at the store<\/strong> &#8211; You can buy a great bottle of wine for around 5 EUR at the store. It\u2019s a lot cheaper than drinking at the bar.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Have an ISIC Card<\/strong> &#8211; To save on the cost of admission to museums and other tourist attractions, be sure to present a valid student card. The ISIC is typically accepted in places where a foreign student ID is not.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Go to museums on their free admission days<\/strong> &#8211; Most museums have some days when admission is free. Check the <a href=\"http:\/\/odysseus.culture.gr\/h\/1\/eh10.jsp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Odysseus Culture website<\/a> for details as they vary from museum to museum.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get combined tickets<\/strong> &#8211; Historical attractions in Greece are often priced so that it\u2019s always a better deal to buy a combined ticket. If the sites you are going to offer one, buy it. It will save you money.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use points for accommodations<\/strong> &#8211; If you have credit card points that can be used for cash, using them to book accommodation can save you a ton of money. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/travel-blogs\/points-miles-for-beginners\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">This post has more information to help you with the basics so you can start collecting points now and use them on your trip<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Rent a car<\/strong> &#8211; Car rentals can be incredibly cheap in Greece. Prices start at just 20 EUR per day when booked in advance. Drivers need to be at least 21 and have had their license for one year. An International Driving Permit is also required. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discovercars.com\/greece?a_aid=nomadicmatt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Discover Cars<\/a> is an excellent place to find a car for your trip.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bring a water bottle<\/strong> &#8211; The tap water here is generally safe to drink so bring a reusable water bottle to save money and reduce your plastic use. <a href=\"https:\/\/lifestraw.xyibsh.net\/B0AY14\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LifeStraw<\/a> is my go-to brand as their bottles have built-in filters to ensure your water is always clean and safe.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id5522_a85b33-61 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id5522_a85b33-61 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id5522_a85b33-61 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id5522_a85b33-61 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id5522_a85b33-61 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id5522_a85b33-61 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id5522_a85b33-61 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"getaround\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column5522_a24e74-42 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column5522_a24e74-42 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column5522_a24e74-42 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column5522_a24e74-42 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column5522_a24e74-42 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column5522_a24e74-42 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column5522_a24e74-42{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column5522_a24e74-42 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column5522_a24e74-42 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column5522_a24e74-42\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-4f458871 heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5522_ab5673-bb, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5522_ab5673-bb[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5522_ab5673-bb\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5522_ab5673-bb mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5522_ab5673-bb[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5522_ab5673-bb\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading5522_ab5673-bb wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5522_ab5673-bb\">How to Get Around in Greece<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.nomadicmatt.com\/2022\/greece4.jpg\" alt=\"View of a bell tower at the end of the busy narrow streets in the city of Corfu, Greece.\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Public transportation<\/strong> &#8211; In the larger cities, public transportation is widely available. For example, Athens has a fantastic subway system starting at 1.20 EUR per ride. There&#8217;s also an extensive tram and bus system in Athens as well. In smaller cities, buses are the primary mode of transportation and prices vary by distance, usually starting at 1.20 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Buses<\/strong> &#8211; KTEL is the main bus operator in Greece. You can look up schedules and prices online, but their website is pretty outdated and you&#8217;re better off booking tickets at the actual bus station. Getting from Athens to Sparta takes around 3.5 hours and costs around 20 EUR, while Athens to Thessaloniki takes around 5.5 hours and costs around 42 EUR. Thessaloniki to Ioannina takes 3.5 hours and is 24 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Trains<\/strong> &#8211; Train travel in Greece isn&#8217;t great. Trains are unreliable and slow and there are only a few routes in the country between Athens and other major cities, like Thessaloniki and Patras. You&#8217;re better off driving or taking the bus. However, if you do get the train, a trip from Athens to Thessaloniki takes about 4.5 hours and costs at least 20 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ferries<\/strong> &#8211; Because Greece has a lot of islands, you have to deal with taking ferries to get around. Expect to spend an average of 35 EUR per trip, though you could spend as little as 10 EUR if the islands are really close together. From Athens, most ferries to the Cyclades Islands start around 40 EUR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking the overnight ferries can save you up to half off the normal price plus save you a night of accommodation so if you&#8217;re not in a rush, book those!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are many different ferry companies, and most are created equal. High speed ferries or catamarans cost a lot more (book in advance). You can research routes and ticket prices using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ferryhopper.com\/en\/?aff_uid=nmdmtt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FerryHopper<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gtp.gr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gtp.gr<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re ok traveling on the slower ferries and your routes match the available routes, the Eurail\/Interrail ferry pass is worth considering as you&#8217;ll get discounts with this pass. Search routes on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ferryhopper.com\/en\/?aff_uid=nmdmtt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">FerryHopper<\/a> to see if it works for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Flying<\/strong> &#8211; Flying is a quick and affordable way to get around Greece and between islands (though not all islands have airports). A one-way flight from Athens to Santorini or Mykonos takes less than one hour and costs around 25-35 EUR. Flights can dip to as little as 20 EUR when booked in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Scooter\/Quad rentals<\/strong> &#8211; Renting a scooter or ATV is a really popular way to discover many parts of Greece, particularly the islands. It lets you explore at your own pace and is quite affordable. Scooter rentals cost between 15-25 EUR per day depending on the location and if it is peak season or off-season. ATVs cost around 38-50 EUR per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Car rental<\/strong> &#8211; Car rentals here are super affordable, starting at just 20 EUR per day for a multi-day rental. Expect manual transmissions. Drivers need an International Driving Permit before renting as well and need to be at least 21 years old.

Temperatures hover around 33\u00b0C (92\u00b0F) and popular destinations like Santorini and Mykonos experience a huge influx of visitors. Prices increase during this time as well. But the overall atmosphere and weather are great during this time, so it\u2019s still worth visiting during peak season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Personally, I think the best time to visit Greece is shoulder season (March-May and September-October). It\u2019s still warm during these times but there aren\u2019t as many crowds and prices are cheaper. It\u2019s also easier to meet locals during this time. There is more rain during this time of year, so pack for that. Overall, it&#8217;s a particularly great time to hang out in the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Winter is from November to February. It gets cold and tourist crowds thin out considerably. There\u2019s quite a bit of rain and temperatures vary quite a bit from north to south, with it sometimes dropping to 11\u00b0C (52\u00b0F) in some places (Athens sometimes gets snow). Many of the islands \u2014 particularly Santorini and Mykonos \u2014 almost shut down entirely during the off-season. In short, I&#8217;d skip a winter visit unless you&#8217;re only planning to visit museums.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"guide-block resources-block\"><h3 id=\"book\"><span>Greece Travel Guide: The Best Booking Resources<\/span><\/h3><p>These are my favorite companies to use when I travel.

The downloadable guide can be used on your Kindle, iPad, phone, or computer so you can have it with you when you go.<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nomadicmatt.com\/product\/europe-guidebooks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Click here to learn more about my book on Europe!<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-id5522_c9970f-91 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(.kb-row-layout-id5522_c9970f-91 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}.kb-row-layout-id5522_c9970f-91 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}.kb-row-layout-id5522_c9970f-91 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-row-layout-id5522_c9970f-91 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-row-layout-id5522_c9970f-91 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style><div class=\"kb-row-layout-wrap kb-row-layout-id5522_c9970f-91 alignnone wp-block-kadence-rowlayout\" id=\"posts\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-mobile-layout-row kt-row-valign-top\">\n<style>.kadence-column5522_894ecf-64 > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column5522_894ecf-64 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column5522_894ecf-64 > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column5522_894ecf-64 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column5522_894ecf-64 > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column5522_894ecf-64 > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column5522_894ecf-64{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column5522_894ecf-64 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column5522_894ecf-64 > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;justify-content:center;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column kadence-column5522_894ecf-64\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-6886dad7 heading-line\" id=\"section-title\">\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5522_e71225-eb, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5522_e71225-eb[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5522_e71225-eb\"]{padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-xs, 1rem);text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5522_e71225-eb mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading5522_e71225-eb[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5522_e71225-eb\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h3 class=\"kt-adv-heading5522_e71225-eb wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-background-color has-background\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading5522_e71225-eb\">Greece Travel Guide: Related Articles<\/h3>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Want more tips for your trip?
