Greece travel guide

💶 Budget for a trip to Greece: The average daily cost for a trip to Greece is $183 a night for both food and accommodation. If you want to save money skip the touristy places like Santorini and Mykonos, and go to cheaper lesser-known Greek islands like Kimolos, Tinos, or Paros.

💜 Is tipping required in Greece? Tipping in customary in Greece and you should plan to tip between 10-15%.
☀️ Best time to Visit: The season for Islands in Greece typically starts after Easter at the end of April and closes in October. The most ideal time to visit is right before or after the peak season of summer. June or September would be great!
🏥 Travel Insurance in Greece: I recommend SafetyWing which will cover you in case of trip cancellations or any accidents during your travels.

Secret Places to discover in Greece!

Instead of sticking to the main touristy places in Greece like Santorini or Mykonos, why not try a lesser known island like the beautiful Kimolos Island or Antiparos? They are much more affordable and you can avoid the crowds. I much prefer this style of traveling because you will have the whole place to yourself! And if you’d like to see a completly different side of Greece, take a cozy winter getaway to Epirus!

Planning to solo travel in Greece?
Greece is a super safe place to travel alone. You have many beautiful Greek Islands to choose from or you can go to the mainland, Athens for a lively atmosphere. I traveled solo to Greece a few times and never felt uncomfortable. You can also visit Greece on a budget if you’re worried about the expense of traveling alone.
