Our best tips for planning your trip 🗺️
- Transport
Public transportation, including buses and ferries, efficiently connects major cities and islands. Renting a car is ideal for exploring more remote areas. Note that some islands require ferry reservations in advance. - Language
The official language is Greek, but most people in tourist areas speak English. Knowing basic Greek words like "Kalimera" (good morning) or "Efharisto" (thank you) can be appreciated by locals. - Currency
The Euro (EUR) is the currency. Credit cards are widely accepted, but on smaller islands or local markets, it's best to have some cash. - Culture and Customs
Appropriate attire is expected when visiting religious sites. Greeks are warm people, and they'll appreciate courtesy and respect toward their culture. - Gastronomy
Tasting local cuisine is a must. Try moussaka, souvlaki, and of course, traditional mezze. Taverns are great for authentic meals. - Light and breathable clothing, cap or hat for sun protection
- Comfortable sandals and walking shoes if you plan to explore archaeological sites
- High SPF sunscreen and sunglasses
- Swimsuit and beach towel to enjoy Greece's stunning beaches
- Local travel guide or mobile app to discover Greece's history and culture
- Snacks and water bottle for day trips
- First aid kits and personal medications
The best time to visit Greece is generally from May to October, when the weather is pleasant and temperatures are ideal for outdoor activities.
Dive into history with a visit to the Acropolis in Athens. The sunsets on the island of Santorini are breathtaking, perfect for romantics. For a dose of nature and adventure, hike the Samaria Gorge in Crete. Explore the hanging monasteries of Meteora for an inspiring experience. The local cuisine in Thessaloniki is a treat for foodies seeking travel worth sharing. Don't forget to relax on the beaches of Mykonos and venture to Delphi to reconnect with ancient mythology.
