Island Hopping on a Budget in Greece

Tuesday, March 6th, 2012

Greece is an incredibly relaxed place with a motto of, ‘do tomorrow what you can do today.’ Unlike our homeland, England, it has a very different culture and easygoing way of life making it one of the most popular holiday destinations. Full of street celebrations, food, hospitality and taking a great pride in generosity to strangers, this is the perfect place to go on a budget using Tours4Fun coupon codes.

If you’re looking to hop to a more popular Greek Island, I would advise either, Corfu, (Ionian Islands) Mykonos (Cyclades Islands) or Rhodes (Dodecanese Islands.) As popular tourist destination there are often affordable flight deals with either Olympic or Aegean Airlines. The closer that you stay to an airport the less traditional your Greek experience will be. If you choose to stay further away from an airport, it’s likely that your holiday will be cheaper due to the lack of tourist made shops and restaurants. If you’re wanting a more peaceful or ‘sleepy’ holiday then Samos (Aegean Islands) or Leros (Dodecanese Islands) are the places to go.

Here are four reasonably affordable and decent hotels around Greece that will allow you to have a fantastic time and stick to your budget (and don’t forget to use coupon codes as usual)!

As the capital of Greece holding the 2004 Olympics, Athens understandably is full of historical tourist sights: National Archaeological Museum and Greece’s National Art Gallery. Whether you want to go to varied nightclubs or some of the finest restaurants, this is the place to be! The 3* Marina Hotel is a family run business charging reasonable prices of just $30 including all taxes and fees, helping you to stick to budget. The friendliness and warmth that you’re greeted with helps complete your Greek experience.

Rhodes is another popular tourist spot, offering visitors exactly what they wish for. Whether it’s history, beaches or clubbing, it’s all there creating the islands charm through the combination of modern and historical Greece. There are many attractions and all at low cost or free, one of the best being the isolated golden sand beaches. From just $18 per studio room per night, you can visit all the attractions through staying at ‘Panorama Studios’ located in the Faliraki area close to Ladiko. Offering 51 suites alongside a swimming pool and laundry facilities, this hotel is perfect in helping you through the scorching sun!

As the largest of the Greek Islands Crete allows you to explore the prominent history with the historical and cultural sites, Venetian fortress and museums. Hiking (a free activity) and water-sports are popular activities for Tourists suiting all kinds of tastes. In the heart of Crete, Mikro Village Hotel is one of the best budget decent hotels to stay in. This is one of the better hotels for children as there is a kid’s pool, created and playground along with extra activities organised by locals. There really is something for all tastes whether you want to chill by the pool or explore the traditional villages and scenic roads.
