20 MUST know Greece Travel Tips - WATCH BEFORE YOU GO

[@Fegga1955]

So true,cruises are best seeing many islands.Also renting a car helps

[@yannsydow5976]

I spent three weeks this summer at the peak of tourism and generally if you're a budget traveller Greece is absolutely doable with a low budget. Also, public transportation is great and reliable. For instance, in Santorini instead of using Taxis one can just use the public bus which only costs 2 €. This was the case in practically every island. Even on the mainland, public buses are fairly cheap. If you don't want to eat extremely expensive just eat a gyros or souvlaki for about 3.50€ (usually that's already enough to fill you up). If you go on lesser known parts of Greece a hostel might just cost you 10€ a night (even in Meteora!). In any way, if you go to Greece you will have an amazing time.

[@RiddimKingdom]

Agreed - I always used public transport and found it really easy and cheap and safe to use

[@cindy_hsiao]

Hello, which islands did you visit that you felt the public transportation was good? Debating whether a scooter/car is needed. I prefer not to drive but if I can’t get to the cool destinations by bus then I’d still want to rent a scooter probably! Thanks

[@SebastianDylag]

We visited Crete in May, and it was not only much less crowded but the weather was already feeling like middle of the summer 😄

[@lostleblanc]

Great time to go 🙌🏼

[@marcocasella387]

This year has not been crowded also in the last week of july Weather was amazing, (last year it was 48°C, impossible to stay even to the beach) and every time is a new discover... Crete is incredible

[@ΑπόλλωνΘηρευτής]

You miss the real Greece when you go to Mykonos and Santorini. Greece has 6000 kilometers of beaches, lovely mountain villages, gorges, clear and easy kayaking rivers, skiing slopes, traditional bridges and so much more that you cannot ignore. One day's stay in Santorini is equal to the tour of the Peloponnese for 3 days, (Ancient Olympia, Epidaurus, Mycenae, Nafplio, Monemvasia, Mani, Polylymnio, Voidokoilia beach, Methoni and and and). A visit to Epirus (with rivers, mountains, gorges, beaches, villages, bridges, waterfalls and much more) you will never forget! The same with Western Macedonia, Halkidiki, Mount Athos. Pelion in Thessaly and central Greece with its high mountains, which are an hour away from the sea. And if you insist on the islands...then look for Ithaca, Kythera, Skopelos, Sifnos, Chios, Symi, Thassos, Amorgos and... kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKiao52jZq6DmpY

Peloponnese is probably the best place for a road trip on earth 😎

Shhh your giving away the best secrets!

[@marshallmom1962]

This is what i was looking for... not the msin tourist islands

[@elenimalandrinos5751]

Yeah i heard, Greece is not the way it used to be. I remember forever when I wasn't with my parent back in the 80's, 90's and it was still ok, But, when I went back in 2007, omg, things changed. You don't hear the language anymore. All you hear is, Russian, English from England....they live there, Bulgarians, etc. It's sad. Depressing. But, We're going next month, in June, usually, we go in Sept. but, my son-in-law wanted to go now and ITS EXPENSIVE!!! Those tickets killed me. Way cheaper to go in Sept. It's still warm, the last time we stayed from Sept to Nov. Dang it was cold. lol And we don't go to the touristy areas. So, This should be different, now since I'm older, am I going to have issues walking. My husband is cheap. We go on the Metro, Walk, to the ports, and take the ferry. This is gonna be different.

[@TheTravelMentor]

I have never been to Greece before but I am thinking in 2023 I will have to go. I have always been worried about the crowds but the sights, islands, ocean, landscape, seafood, culture, and history might make me change my mind.

[@rrocketman]

There are so many islands and mountains you will find peace and quiet everywhere 🙂

[@XTCgr]

Matt, as a Greek who has visited 42 countries I have to say that you have an objective judgement about Greece! Keep up the nice videos and hope you ll visit my country again soon

[@CYN_TH3_V1RUS]

I’m a swedish person going to greece with my fam in like 1 and a half weeks on tuesday so ima tryna watch as many videos abt greece as posible

[@nikomanara]

Great travel trips Christian! I would recommend May or June even until 15 July is the best time for Greek summer. Good prices, not crowded, perfect weather.

[@bettinaho77]

Planning on spending 3-4 weeks in Greece with my husband and 2.5 year old daughter. Even though this was not family centered, this was super helpful to know and great reminders about booking early and the international license!

[@AirFlightTravels]

I agree on most of your recommendations. Just to let you know all the businesses accept cards in Greece. Also, you can travel in May or September even to Mykonos and Santorini when the weather is great and get a car for 35 euro and eat nicely with 15euro per person. Air Travel between the islands is not the best but if you avoid the main islands there are airlines that do island hoping from Crete to Karpathos then to Kasos or Samos etc. Also Greece is a shopping destination, but mostly in the mainland. In Mykonos or Santorini you will spend a lot, those are shops for rich people, but if you shop in Athens Airport or even outside of the airport where a mall and an outlet are located you can get great deals. I hope you enjoyed Greece this year.

[@Stavraetina]

It is expensive if you go to the touristic hotspots indeed but prices vary hugely from island to island and on the mainland too. We visited two Cyclades islands in July this year and spent no more than 35 euros a day for a rental car, and no more than 60 euros a night for accommodation. The islands were not crowded, not feeling like you were trapped in a souvenir shop and insanely beautiful. As for the food and people, the further away you go from tourist spots, the better they are. We go to Greece once or twice a year and it is for me by far the best destination ever but now avoid the very well known places. There's so much more to discover.

[@KuldeepSingh-if2ju]

[@peter-bz3fo]

Actually I don't really agree that greece is expensive, of course apart for Santorini and Mykonos, but other than that I have been in different places around Greece and it's a lot cheaper than most of europe

[@gerrytran]

Exactly, everything is more affordable outside Santorini and Mykonos.

[@RiddimKingdom]

I totally agree. The main tourist parts of Santorini, Mykonos and the posh parts of Athens are very expensive but other parts of Greece are super super affordable.

[@ivodebruijn]

Totally agree. I've visited Corfu, Zakynthos, Kefalonia, Crete and Santorini and even the latter wasn't that bad. Just depends on what you do, where you stay and what you buy. Generally speaking, Greece is one of the more affordable places in Europe, especially foodwise.

[@johnny13111987]

I'm from Greece and your tips are so on point.Well done.

[@RiddimKingdom]

I think you can rely on busses and other public transport in Greece, BUT you need to be super cool and casual and not worry too much about timings. I used busses all over the Greek mainland and the islands and yes, they are always late, or arrive whenever they want to, but they are great and very very cheap.

[@GnMvP]

Half way through the video. 😁 Cyclades is read Kee-kla-des. Also tipping is expected in Greece. Just not standard 10% like in the US. 5% is good. More later if so.

[@leechafertravels]

There are so many channels doing guides to places/top 10 must do's/ etc and they make you want to turn off after a couple of minutes 😴😴😴 Amazing that I was glad to this for the full 14 minutes....and I don't even have any intentions of going to Greece anytime soon!😂 Great work once again! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😊

[@slac1057]

[@sperdouklikos]

I understand you are not greek and just sharing your experiences at the place so I'll just point out a few mistakes as a local Hummus is not greek so don't order it here Boughatsa is a breakfast not a dessert Tipping is definitely a thing here just not as much like in the U.S Usually a good rule of thumb is to round the bill For instance if the bill is 27euros if you leave 30 it's fine and you can also tip on the card Specially at restaurants it is expected Not mandatory but appreciated Also we never expect foreigners to speak our language so you don't really have to learn any words beforehand People speak English pretty decently for the most part here

Great & honest video, thanks for sharing. A simple word of advise on travel seasons: Avoid 20 July-20 August like the plague. Try early June & late September and October and you will be more than fine weather-wise and cost-wise. Everything is up and running, the sea is beautiful (and hotter in Sept/Oct) and the whole vibe on the islands is much more relaxed and peaceful.
