Prefer visiting non-touristy islands
Greece is synonymous with blue and white architecture and colourful party islands such as Mykonos and Santorini. But the country is home to some hidden gems which are less-explored and swoon-worthy! Choose to visit Corfu and Milos which are magical and away from maddening crowds
Choose off-season time
If you are a flexible traveller who wishes to explore the country without splurging, the best time to visit Greece would be off season. During this time, a number of budget airlines operate from various Asian countries. Greece remains crowded during summers from June to August and accommodation price, food and ferry tickets, everything remains quite high.
