Rent a moped to explore the island

Yes, you read that right! A number of travel operators offer free walking tours in Athens city centre where you can discover some epic monuments and ancient historical landmarks of Greece, including Acropolis and Temple of Olympian Zeus. These tours are amazing and take tourists to places where no vehicle can reach.

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. So consider the remaining months when these prices are affordable.

Choose a homestay
