Frequently asked questions about holiday rentals in Greece
What are the must-see places in Greece?
Greece boasts countless must-see sites! For ancient history, the Acropolis in Athens is a no-brainer, along with the ancient theatre of Epidaurus and the Palace of Knossos in Crete. For stunning scenery, the Meteora monasteries perched on towering rock formations are unforgettable, as are the whitewashed villages of Santorini and the Samaria Gorge in Crete. Don't forget Delphi, the ancient sanctuary famed for its oracle.
What are the best Airbnb and holiday rentals in Greece?
Greece offers a diverse range of activities. Island hopping is hugely popular, exploring the Cyclades or the Dodecanese. Exploring ancient ruins, relaxing on beautiful beaches, hiking in the mountains, and cruising are all common. Foodies will enjoy trying regional specialties, while culture vultures can visit museums and attend traditional performances. Water sports, from swimming and sunbathing to windsurfing and scuba diving, are readily available.
Which part of Greece offers the most pleasant climate?
The climate varies considerably across Greece. The islands of the Cyclades and Dodecanese generally enjoy warm, sunny weather for much of the year, with milder winters. However, the climate can be quite hot in summer, particularly on the mainland. Crete also has a pleasant climate, although it can be quite hot in summer. The best time to visit will depend on your preference for heat.
What are the best holiday rentals with a pool in Greece?
What airport options are there for reaching Greece?
Athens International Airport (ATH) is the main gateway, with numerous international flights. However, many islands have their own airports, such as Heraklion Airport (HER) on Crete, Rhodes International Airport (RHO), and Santorini (JTR). Smaller regional airports also exist, allowing for convenient access to various parts of the country.
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 those unaccustomed to narrow, winding roads, especially on the islands. Parking can also be difficult in popular tourist areas. Be prepared for less structured driving habits than you might be used to, and always carry your driving licence and vehicle documents. Mountain roads can be steep and winding.
What are the best rentals or Airbnbs with a jacuzzi in Greece?
What are the top festivals to experience in Greece?
Greece has many festivals throughout the year. The Athens Festival in the summer offers a range of theatre, music, and dance performances. Numerous religious festivals are celebrated with local traditions, often involving processions and feasts. Many local festivals celebrate patron saints with religious processions and cultural events. Specific dates vary annually.
What is the best time of year to visit Greece?
The best time to visit depends on your priorities. Shoulder seasons (April-May and September-October) offer pleasant weather with fewer crowds and lower prices. Summer (June-August) is hot and sunny, ideal for beach holidays, but can be very crowded and expensive. Winter (November-March) is milder in the south but can be cold and wet in the north.
What are some local dishes to try in Greece?
Greek cuisine is delicious and varied. Moussaka (a layered eggplant and minced meat casserole), souvlaki (grilled meat skewers), and gyros (similar to souvlaki, often served in pita bread) are popular choices. Greek salads, featuring feta cheese and olives, are refreshing, and spanakopita (spinach and feta pie) is a tasty option. Seafood is also widely available and excellent.
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 advisable to have the contact details for your embassy or consulate on hand.
What etiquette tips are important when visiting Greece?
Greeks are generally friendly and welcoming. A simple 'kalimera' (good morning) or 'kalispera' (good evening) goes a long way. It's considered polite to greet people with a handshake or a kiss on each cheek. Punctuality is not always strictly observed, so be prepared for some flexibility. Respect religious sites by dressing modestly.
What are the best areas to spend a week in Greece?
A week allows for exploring a region in more depth. The islands of Crete, Rhodes, or Santorini offer diverse activities and beautiful scenery. The Peloponnese peninsula combines ancient sites with stunning coastline. Alternatively, exploring the mainland, focusing on Athens and surrounding areas, is also a good option.
What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Greece?
For a weekend, Athens offers a good mix of ancient history and modern city life. Santorini is also a popular choice, with its iconic caldera views. Nafplio, a charming town on the Peloponnese coast, provides a relaxed atmosphere with historical sites.
What are the top shopping destinations in Greece?
Athens offers a wide range of shopping opportunities, from high-street brands to local boutiques. Monastiraki flea market is a great place to find souvenirs and antiques. Many islands also have shops selling local crafts and products. Larger cities often have shopping malls.
What are some off-the-beaten-path places to explore in Greece?
Beyond the popular tourist spots, explore the Mani Peninsula in the Peloponnese, known for its distinctive tower houses. The Pindus Mountains offer stunning hiking opportunities and traditional villages. The islands of the Sporades archipelago are less crowded than some of the more popular islands. Consider visiting Zagori in Epirus, with its beautiful stone bridges and villages.
