Greece
“The Greek”
“Never Ending Footsteps”
Suggested daily budget – 50-60 EUR / 52-62 USD (Note: This is a suggested budget assuming you’re staying in a hostel, eating out a little, cooking most of your meals, and using local transportation. Using the budget tips below, you can always lower this number. However, if you stay in fancier accommodation or eat out more often, expect this to be higher!)
MONEY SAVING TIPS
1. Visiting Greece during the shoulder seasons (April to early June and September to October) can significantly reduce your expenses. During these times, accommodation and flight prices are lower, tourist attractions are less crowded, and the weather is still pleasant.
2. While Greece has plenty of accommodation options, booking in advance can help you secure the best deals. Look for budget-friendly options like guesthouses, hostels, or Airbnb rentals. Consider staying in less touristy areas, which are often cheaper and offer a more authentic experience.
3. Public transportation in Greece is reliable and much cheaper than taxis. Use buses, trams, and the metro to get around cities like Athens and Thessaloniki. For island hopping, opt for ferries instead of flights. Booking ferry tickets in advance online can also save you money.
4. Dining out can be expensive, but you can save by eating like a local. Look for tavernas and souvlaki shops where locals dine, offering delicious and affordable meals. Street food, such as gyros and koulouri (sesame bread rings), is both tasty and budget-friendly. Visit local markets to buy fresh produce, cheese, and olives for a picnic.
