my sweet memories at Santorini, Crete & Rhodes. I did a detour to Rhodes by a 90mins speed ferry from Fethiye, Turkey in July 2019. I also met interesting people at the hostels, it always have nice kitchen, balcony to air dry my cloths. In Crete my guesthouse has a lemon tree full of big lemons, we just help our self to the free lemons on the ground. If you are planing a trip to Greece during April, make sure you Google Greek Easter days, so that you are not stuck with closed stores for 3 days, it happen to me. I learned my lesson and sharing it!
Late September is the best time to go, IMO. It’s still warm enough to swim and enjoy the beaches but the tourist season is over so the tickets are cheaper. If beaches aren’t your thing then November is even cheaper. Subways in Athens are easy to maneuver so get an AirBnB close to the line while you’re there. Stay out of the tourist areas for dining and it will be WAY cheaper!
When i was in greece with my parents we just walked to our destinations regardless thr distance 😂 Srsly unless you want to visit another town nearby or something further than 5km, ok ig, but a little walk won't hurt 😂 Anyways thanks for the tip.
The land of Greece is one infused with ancient mythology and if you like archeology, history, art, and philosophy then a trip to this fascinating country is not to be missed. Greece is made up of a series of idyllic islands that are surrounded by jet blue seas and covered in dainty white buildings, and you will also find crumbling ruins, engaging museums, and pretty coastal towns aplenty.
$1000 per flight is not great pricing. A better option would be to fly into a cheaper airport (Barcelona has been affordable lately) and taking a flight to Athens from there. I have flown to Barcelona for $300 and a flexible flight to Athens would have easily been under $100. Do not pay $1000 for a flight if you have flexible dates, even in the summer.
This is the first travel Greece video I've seen that wasn't some over-excited airhead gushing inanities: Well thought out, well presented and well done!
Love your dream🥰 I Wish for you that you can make this dream come through! Or even better, now three years later, already made it to Greece and had the best time ever 🥰
Off season I am spending $440 for airfare. Your recommendation breaks the bank Try Norwegian air and discount flight from anywhere in Europe. I am having a 9 hour self made layover (7am-4pm) in London. Not bad to save $550
On a hotel you also goona look for silence! I experienced some cheap hotels where people act like they own the place making noise at unacceptable hours. My advice to all of you: when in a hotel, please be as quiet as you can! If you want to ramble your mouth all night long on the balcony or in your room, please also rent the rooms that are near you. I remember arriveing at a hotel after a 750km drive with my motorcycle through rain and twisty roads just to be woken up at 1 o'clock in the morning by some tourists with big mouths. Not cool!
It can depend on where you live..Flights to Europe cost way more from the west coast (USA) than from NY or Boston. You nearly spend half a day just getting to the east coast...and that (of course), is not free.
@@roveirdatu3851 sorry I'm just seeing this! I always fly out of Chicago. Sorry I'm not sure how much it would cost for you! LAX would be your best bet. I know flights from LAX to O'Hare can be around $90, so if it's a huge price gap you could always fly to Chicago for your flight to Thailand. Hope this helps!
We just booked a 3 week August Greece vacation, and the airfare was $1800 for two, nonstop NYC to Athens. I've been told that is a good price for August.
@@danielalamilla8080 Yes, that was then, but this is now. The prices change and vary a lot. Most popular Euro destinations are in demand right now, especially for the summer of '23. The prices have gotten crazy in many instances.
Tierra Bell It varies, some times months before, others, last second. Aim for just outside traditional summer Months. My favorite is September, awesome being in Greece then 🙌🏻
One thing about the WiFi, it’s certainly very plentiful, but I found it’s quite rare for the WiFi to actually work..best thing in my opinion is to get a sim card
Megan Reads Ive traveled 30 times to Greece and always find ones that work while walking down the main strip or port area. Pretty damn good considering that it is Free!
What is the best island for natural wonders? I am thinking Milos. What is your opinion? Also can I take a ferry from there to see Santorini for and day or 2?
Milos is very touristy, especially in July/August. I would recommend Delos in September, with was the centre of the Cycladic Civilisation. So a lot of ancient sights. Plus you can go to Santorini really quick. On the other side, there are a couple of islands in the Ionian see(Zakynthos, Lefkada, Kefalonia), which are really picturesque and you can combine them all. Greetings from Greece!
Alyson Linscott Every Greek island has Natural Wonders. What kind are you looking for? Regionally, the island groups are very different in Greece, so depends what you are looking for mostly..
I stopped watching after you said 1,000 got a flight. You shouldn't be making budget videos if you suggest this. I went for 500 peak season last summer.
Joseph Pollard depends on where you’re flying out of. The best I’ve ever done is 450 in the off season and believe me, I did a LOT of shopping around and research.
For any non- Americans - flights will be a lot cheaper so don't stress about what he has said. DO NOT take out money with a card. Go to a currency exchange in your country and look for best prices and then get cash to take. Cash is king.
Definitely should have watched this before heading to Greece last summer! Though it was amazing, I found it rather pricey (im a shoestring traveller). It could be though that the cad to euro conversion sucks 😋
Νικόλαος Μορένος My husband and I are doing a road trip this summer with our kids from Athens to Thessaloniki. Its always been a dream for me to see Greece! I chose mainland Greece over the islands for this very reason, a more authentic, less touristy experience 🙂
@@itsjustmyopinionbut1671 If you are going to the North don't forget to visist Vergina and Pella's archelogical site if you have time. Also, be careful of other drivers when driving inside greece. During your travel from athens to Thessaloniki there are plenty of beautiful places to have an intermediate stop and why not to stay for night. Bon voyage!
Chrysi Kontaxi Thank you! That’s exactly what we will do! And thanks for heads up on the driving in Greece, too! Can’t wait to see such an amazing country 🙂
thanks for the info! did you have to have a motorcycle license to rent a scooter on the islands or were you able to with just an international drivers license?
Interesting tips but it could be a good idea to pay attention to the wind and noises in the background when you film. It is hard to hear you when English is not the first language.
it’s $25 a week with sprint and much better than Verizon. I’ve tried both. Also ... if you’re traveling for 3 weeks+, it’s getting expensive... I’m getting ready for a 25 day trip and if my husband and I both had to pay $10 a day, we’d be paying $500. Maybe not a bank breaker but definitely WAY too much to pay. Who wants to waste money???

Nice video, good tips. However, I find that public transport is pretty good, cheap and safe all around Greece.

Great video! Appreciate the candor and content. Thx!
Dude half your vlog is in StKilda in Melbourne Australia????
Just booked a 600 dollar round trip flight to Greece! Can’t wait
Emma Bierley-Clark what ?!?! How did u do that?
600€? from where?
Theo Palios thx for the reply back. I actually was able to found one similar price by moving the dates and changing airport location
How? I’m going in October and am looking at flights and trying to get the cheapest flight.
Mine was $350 lol
good stuff and great tips! I love traveling to Greece, just found your channel and subscribed!

This video was super helpful. Where are these Greek words I’m tryna get learn’ed.
the dummy forgot to add them.
just Google it
90% of Greeks know English you won't have trouble communicating unless you want to talk to an 80 year old person or something.
currently planning a honeymoon to Greece. trying to travel sept 2019
Hi Christina...have you planned your trip? Infact I am also planning for Oct. Would need your assistance if you don't mind
Enjoy. It won't disappoint you
Thanks for putting together a great video.
Im planning next year hopefully everything is ok .thanks for the information new friend here

1k for a ticket? Lmao I would never pay more than 500. Do your research people! Flying out of big airports is always cheaper.

Rachel Bradley where are you traveling from? I would be traveling from California. Any idea of how much it will cost?

Its like $550-$600 on Kayak to fly from Seattle. However i have seen it as cheap as $450 and as high as $750.
About 600-700 from Dallas Texas
Soo informative!!! Thank you

1800 for the flights only?
@@danielalamilla8080 Yes, that was then, but this is now. The prices change and vary a lot. Most popular Euro destinations are in demand right now, especially for the summer of '23. The prices have gotten crazy in many instances.
When is the best time to purchase flight tickets? Closer to when you are leaving or far in advance? And, what airline did you use?
Tierra Bell It varies, some times months before, others, last second. Aim for just outside traditional summer Months. My favorite is September, awesome being in Greece then 🙌🏻
This is one of the most beautiful vlogs out there that I've seen. eve
I loved the video, super helpful, I will be There in September for 21 days. Thank you so much for sharing.
Yesss I’ll be there in June for a month and roadtripping from Thessaloniki to Athens!
I'll be there in October

As a greek i have to recommend Rhodos and Milos. If you want something a bit less touristy Zakynthos could also be an option

This year most of the hotels wont open in high season. Americans not allowed to enter the country. Coronavirus really did number on greek economy.
How much more expensive is Greece in August??
Where is the list of words you said would be in the comments? Maybe you took it down? @Do Moore
Great!
I justed purchase 5 tickets for me and the family from Newark to Athens for 1400 total 100 bucks a ticket is ridiculous!
were you in NZ while making this video?
i am planning on island hopping in greece while camping in a tent is there places to store my rucksack throughout the day
Great video.
What about working visa.
Great info, thank you!
What websites do you find the bed and breakfast places on?
Booking.com always has the best options
$1000? I’ve never paid more than $400 to get to Europe and everything is $50-100 once you get there. Seems reeeeeally high!
probably bc he's from Ohio lol and has to fly through a big airport so the flight transfers add up?
What is the best island in grecce

You are in Australia and most of your information can be used anywhere in the world
You want to go to Greece on a budget? Avoid islands, look for the hidden gems. Avoid the high season
Νικόλαος Μορένος AGREE!! Why does no one travel the mainland anymore?!?
Because it's not as commercial... Although there are areas that may surprise you

The data package with Verizon is $10 a day. Hardly a bank breaker.

Um 5- 10.00 a day is a lot vs T Mobile where it is included in the plan.
