Frequently asked questions about holiday rentals in Greece
What are the must-see places in Greece?
Greece boasts countless must-see sites! The Acropolis in Athens is a given, with its Parthenon a symbol of ancient civilisation. Then there's Delphi, the ancient sanctuary famed for its oracle; Knossos on Crete, showcasing Minoan civilisation; and the Meteora monasteries, perched dramatically on sandstone pillars. Don't forget the stunning beaches of Santorini and Mykonos, either.
What are the best Airbnb and vacation rentals in Greece?
Activities are as diverse as the landscape. Island hopping is incredibly popular, with ferries connecting countless Aegean and Ionian islands. Exploring ancient ruins, relaxing on beautiful beaches, indulging in watersports like windsurfing and scuba diving in places like Rhodes or Zakynthos, and hiking in areas such as Samaria Gorge on Crete are all common choices. Foodies will enjoy exploring local markets and tavernas.
Which part of Greece offers the most pleasant climate?
The climate varies greatly across the country. The islands of the Cyclades and Dodecanese generally enjoy warm, sunny weather for much of the year. However, even within these regions, microclimates exist. Southern Crete tends to be warmer than the north, for example. The best time to visit for warm weather will depend on your tolerance for heat.
What are the best vacation rentals with a pool in Greece?
What airport options are there for reaching Greece?
Athens International Airport (ATH) is the main gateway, with many international flights arriving daily. However, several other airports serve regional areas, including Thessaloniki Airport (SKG) in the north and Heraklion Airport (HER) on Crete. Many islands have smaller airports too, facilitating island hopping.
What are the best rentals for families and kids in Greece?
Are there specific challenges to driving in Greece that visitors should know?
Driving in Greece can be challenging for visitors. Mountain roads are often narrow and winding, parking can be limited in popular tourist areas, and some drivers can be quite assertive. It's advisable to rent a smaller, automatic car if possible and to be prepared for slower journeys than anticipated.
What are the best rentals or Airbnbs with a jacuzzi in Greece?
What are the top festivals to experience in Greece?
Greece hosts many festivals throughout the year. The Athens Festival, a summer event featuring theatre, music and dance performances, is a highlight. Numerous religious festivals, such as Easter, are celebrated with great enthusiasm across the country. Local village festivals often feature traditional music, dance, and food.
What is the best time of year to visit Greece?
The best time to visit depends on your preferences. Shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October) offer pleasant weather with fewer crowds. Summer (June-August) is hot and sunny, ideal for beach holidays, but can be very crowded. Winter can be mild in some areas, but many islands experience reduced services.
What are some local dishes to try in Greece?
Greek cuisine is delicious and diverse. Moussaka (a layered eggplant dish), souvlaki (grilled meat skewers), gyros (similar to souvlaki, often served in a pita), and spanakopita (spinach pie) are popular choices. Fresh seafood is also readily available, especially on the islands. Don't forget to try the local olive oil and cheeses!
What emergency numbers should you know in case of a medical or security issue in Greece?
For medical emergencies, dial 166. For police, dial 100. For fire, dial 199. It's always a good idea to inform your hotel or accommodation of your plans, especially when venturing into remote areas.
What etiquette tips are important when visiting Greece?
Greeks are generally warm and welcoming. It's polite to greet people with a 'kalimera' (good morning/day) or 'kalispera' (good evening). A firm handshake is common. When visiting homes or churches, dressing modestly is appreciated. Taking your time to enjoy meals and conversations is part of the culture.
What are the best areas to spend a week in Greece?
A week allows for a more in-depth exploration. The islands of Crete or Rhodes offer diverse landscapes, historical sites, and beaches. Alternatively, exploring the Peloponnese peninsula combines ancient history with beautiful coastal scenery. A week in Athens allows you to delve into its historical and cultural richness, while still finding time for day trips.
What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Greece?
For a weekend, focus on a specific area. Athens is ideal for a historical and cultural immersion. Mykonos or Santorini offer a taste of the iconic Cycladic islands. Nafplio, a charming town in the Peloponnese, provides a blend of history and coastal relaxation. Each offers a different experience.
What are the top shopping destinations in Greece?
Athens offers a wide range of shopping, from high-end boutiques in Kolonaki to the bustling Monastiraki flea market. The islands also offer unique shopping experiences, with local crafts and souvenirs available in many towns and villages. Larger cities such as Thessaloniki also have significant shopping areas.
What are some off-the-beaten-path places to explore in Greece?
Beyond the popular tourist hotspots, explore the Mani Peninsula in the Peloponnese, with its dramatic landscapes and tower houses. The Zagori region in Epirus offers stunning mountain scenery and traditional villages. The island of Folegandros, in the Cyclades, retains a more authentic Greek feel compared to its more famous neighbours.
