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 essential, along with the ancient theatre of Epidaurus and the Minoan Palace of Knossos in Crete. Delphi, with its ancient sanctuary, is another highlight. For stunning scenery, the Meteora monasteries perched on towering rock formations are unforgettable, and the whitewashed villages of Santorini offer iconic views. Don't forget the beaches; Elafonisi in Crete and Navagio Beach (Shipwreck Beach) on Zakynthos are particularly famous.
What are the best Airbnb and holiday rentals in Greece?
Greece offers a diverse range of activities. Island hopping is hugely popular, allowing exploration of different cultures and landscapes. Relaxing on the numerous beautiful beaches is a given. Exploring ancient ruins, visiting museums showcasing Greek history and art, and hiking through scenic landscapes are also common. Water sports like swimming, snorkelling, and diving are prevalent, especially on the islands. Foodies will enjoy trying regional specialities and visiting local markets.
Which part of Greece offers the most pleasant climate?
The islands of the Cyclades and Dodecanese generally offer the most pleasant climate, with warm, sunny weather for much of the year. However, the climate varies across the country. Southern Crete tends to be warmer and drier than the north, while areas further north can experience cooler temperatures and more rainfall, particularly in winter.
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, serving numerous international flights. However, many other airports serve regional destinations, including Thessaloniki Airport (SKG) in northern Greece, Heraklion Airport (HER) in Crete, and Rhodes International Airport (RHO) on Rhodes. Smaller airports exist on many islands, offering convenient access to specific areas.
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 some visitors. Mountainous roads are common, particularly on the islands, which can be narrow and winding. Parking, especially in popular tourist areas, can be difficult to find. One-way systems in cities can be confusing, and road signage isn't always clear or consistent in English. Driving defensively and allowing extra time for journeys is advisable.
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. The Athens Festival, a summer event, features theatre, music, and dance performances. The Patras Carnival is one of Europe's largest carnivals, with parades and festivities. Many local religious festivals celebrate patron saints, often involving processions and traditional food and music. Specific dates vary from year to year.
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, fewer crowds, and lower prices. Summer (June-August) is hot and sunny, ideal for beach holidays, but can be crowded and more expensive. Winter (November-March) is milder in southern Greece, but some islands have limited services.
What are some local dishes to try in Greece?
Greek cuisine is delicious and varied. Moussaka, a layered casserole with aubergine, minced meat, and béchamel sauce, is a classic. Souvlaki, grilled meat skewers, are a popular street food. Greek salad, with tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, feta cheese, and oregano, is refreshing. Spanakopita, spinach and feta cheese pie, is another favourite. Regional variations abound, so exploring different areas will introduce you to many more dishes.
What emergency numbers should you know in case of a medical or security issue in Greece?
In case of a medical emergency, dial 166. For police, dial 100. For fire services, dial 199. Always keep these numbers handy.
What etiquette tips are important when visiting Greece?
Greeks are generally warm and welcoming. Learning a few basic Greek phrases is appreciated. It's polite to greet people with a 'kalimera' (good morning/day) or 'kalispera' (good evening). When invited to someone's home, it's considered polite to bring a small gift. Dining etiquette is generally relaxed, but it's good practice to wait for everyone to be served before starting to eat.
What are the best areas to spend a week in Greece?
A week allows for more in-depth exploration. The islands of Crete or Rhodes offer diverse landscapes, history, and beaches. Exploring the Peloponnese peninsula combines ancient sites with beautiful coastal areas. Combining Athens with one or two nearby islands offers a mix of city and island life.
What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Greece?
For a weekend, Athens is a great choice, offering historical sites, museums, and vibrant nightlife. Santorini offers iconic views and romantic settings, ideal for a short break. Nafplio, a charming town in the Peloponnese, offers a more relaxed atmosphere and historical interest.
What are the top shopping destinations in Greece?
Athens offers a wide range of shopping opportunities, from high-street brands to traditional shops. Monastiraki flea market is a great place to find souvenirs and antiques. Many islands have local markets selling crafts, jewellery, and clothing. Larger cities like Thessaloniki also have modern shopping malls and department stores.
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 dramatic scenery and tower houses. The Pindus Mountains offer opportunities for hiking and exploring traditional villages. The island of Folegandros, in the Cyclades, retains a more authentic Greek feel than some of its more famous neighbours. Samothrace, a less-visited island in the northern Aegean, offers stunning natural beauty.
