Greece Travel Information
Greece is a top travel destination worldwide. With a plethora of things to see and do, it is no wonder more than 15 million people each year travel to Greece. If the beautiful scenery, gorgeous beaches, sunny, clear weather were not enough to draw you in, how about the exciting nightlife and historical sites? Mainland Greece and the Greek Islands are equally popular. Popular spots include Crete, Corfu, Athens, Rhodes and Thessaloniki. If you prefer spots that are more out of the way and less populated by tourists and the sorts of events and activities that appeal to them, you can find quieter, less traveled places of beauty in Greece as well.
The Mediterranean climate is alive and well in Greece. The winters are short and mild. The summers run from April through November and boast hot, dry weather and days and days of sunshine. Occasionally there will be rain showers, but these are short-lived and infrequent. May and June and September and October are the very best months to see Greece as the weather is at its most comfortable and pleasant. From the middle of July to the middle of August, Greece is under the spell of the hottest summer weather.
If you are planning a holiday destination to Greece then you will want to travel between the months of April and October. Most of the vacationers begin to arrive in April and it usually hits its zenith in the month of July. If you decide to travel at any other time, you may find that accommodations are not as plentiful since the other times of the year most places are closed down. The cities of Athens and Thessaloniki are the main hubs of international transportation, but there are many cities on the islands which handle chartered flights during the major portion of the holiday season.
There are any number of Greek and international hotel booking services. You will most likely be able to book your accommodations online, as most hotels have websites and will take bookings by email, although sometimes a fax is more reliable for communication. Hotels in Greece tend to be simple establishments. Even in the simpler places, the standards of cleanliness are usually good. Rooms usually tend to be small, have air conditioning, and a balcony. The more luxurious hotels can be found in the cities as well as on the more popular islands, but it is not too common and does not always represent a good value for your money.
Greece is not known for its major cosmopolitan flair. You usually will not be able to do major shopping while on the islands. What you can expect is specialty products from local artisans which can not be beat. These things include hand-made lace and jewelry, leather goods, pottery, local wines, hand woven rugs and much more. When you are in Greece, expect to eat very well since eating out is a major way of life. Most restaurants are called “Taverna” or “Estiatorio” and they are easily found in any area you visit. And if you speak English, then you will not have any issues with a language barrier since most people speak the language.
