BGP: Continental Greece. honeymoon in greece mainland or islands

The long-awaited vacation time has come, and you are seriously thinking about the rest. The obvious choice has been made, because you are going to Greece - a country that beckons us with its ancient civilization, fabulous history and wonderful gentle sea! Despite the fact that Greece is small, you are unlikely to be able to travel around its entire territory in one vacation. Moreover, about 20% of the territory of Greece falls on islands with a distinctive culture.

Let's try to help you make a difficult choice between mainland Greece and the islands.

Mainland Greece

If you want to cover the maximum number of major attractions in one trip, you should definitely choose holidays on the mainland. Athens Acropolis with the Parthenon, Delphi, the majestic Meteora, Holy Athos, and other interesting places are quite possible to see by renting a car for a few days. Also at your service is a developed network of intercity buses, often climbing even to remote villages, and a railway.

Holidays on the Greek mainland will allow you to visit neighboring countries such as Italy (ferry service to the island of Corfu), and if you are a happy owner of a multiple Schengen visa, then Bulgaria, Turkey, Albania and FYROM.

Shopping lovers and big cities should also opt for the mainland, although only Athens and Thessaloniki can boast of a population of more than 1 million people. Here are also major airports countries that receive flights from all over the world, which means more flexibility in choosing the dates for your vacation, including the winter months.

In turn, we can offer you for rent:

Greek islands

At the height of the season (July-August), the heat, reaching 35-40 degrees Celsius, may seem unbearable to the inhabitants of the northern countries. Maybe, Greek islands with a constantly blowing sea breeze will be your salvation. According to the Panhellenic Tourism Organization, there are about 6,000 islands in Greece! True, only 227 of them can boast of a population, and more than 100 people live on only 78 islands.

If you are looking for peace away from civilization, then we will gladly advise you to choose one of the islands of Greece. The famous Greek hospitality and the originality of the island culture captivate everyone. The diminutiveness of most of the islands and the simplicity of the island Greeks will make you feel right at home here. And, who knows, maybe your children after a trip to Greece will remember the Greek “grandparents”.

And, of course, the islands of Greece are not alike. Rocky volcanic Santorini with black sand, green Corfu - a favorite of Gerald Durrell, Oscar Wilde and Goethe, mysterious Zakynthos, famous for the secret smugglers' bay, cosmopolitan fashionable Mykonos - each of the islands will find a corner in your heart. Thanks to the developed ferry system, you can move between the nearby islands at will.

Shopping on the islands is mainly represented by authentic souvenirs and locally produced products that are not massively exported to the mainland, not to mention exported. True, it should be noted that the traditional purchase of food for lunch on the islands will most likely cost you a little more than in mainland Greece - the main products are delivered here by ferry from the mainland.

All at once

If you are traveling to Greece for the first time, but you definitely want to experience the charm of island life, however, without losing the opportunity to visit world-class attractions, then we recommend that you choose one of the large islands or an island located close to the mainland.

Crete is the largest island in Greece. It is simply impossible to travel all over it in one vacation. The ruins of the Palace of Knossos with an underground labyrinth, where, according to legend, the Minotaur lived, and the culture of the Cretans, which is rumored to still have a vendetta in mountain villages, different from all of Greece, will make your Greek holidays unforgettable.

The desire to visit the Parthenon can also be combined with a holiday on the island. The second largest island in Greece, Euboea, is located only 150 km from Athens. The bridge can be reached from the mainland and to the island of Lefkada.

Whichever area you choose for your vacation, Greece will leave indelible memories in your soul, making you come back here again and again.

The mainland of the mythological country should be chosen by lovers of excursions. It is here that the main Greece is located: Delphi, Meteora, the Acropolis of Athens, the Parthenon, Mount St. Athos, etc. You can visit them both by rented car, and with the help of tourist excursions or local transport.

Greece has a well-developed network of buses running between cities. Many of them "climb" to the most distant villages, where you can get acquainted with the life of the indigenous people and purchase fresh products.

If you are a multi-entry Schengen visa holder, it is from mainland Greece that you can travel to nearby countries. Italy is usually the main destination for tourists. Also lovers of "distant" excursions go to Albania, Turkey, Macedonia.

A distinctive feature of the mainland is great shopping opportunities. This is especially true for vacationers in July / January. It is at this time that big sales begin in stores. Discounts on accessories, shoes and clothes of world brands reach 70%.

The island part of the country is the best choice for a beach holiday

The Greek islands are true peace and tranquility. Here you are guaranteed a luxurious vacation. The local greets tourists sincerely, always comes to the rescue, and in the restaurant they listen carefully and clearly fulfill the order.

The territory of Greece has approximately 6,000 islands. However, in the tourism world, Crete, Rhodes, Corfu, Santorini, Zakynthos have won the greatest popularity. These places are often chosen for relaxation by world stars.

The Greek islands really have everything you need for quality relaxation. Beaches, grocery and souvenir shops, restaurants with chic cuisine. However, be careful: nightlife lovers in the island part of Greece can be a little bored. The most adapted to such a pastime are the resorts of the island of Crete.

There is sea communication between the Greek islands. If you wish, you can visit not one, but several places and be surprised at their dissimilarity. A colossal contrast is, for example, volcanic, "black" Santorini, fashionable Mykonos and green Corfu.

The inhabitants of the Greek islands are a special kind of people. They are very welcoming, calm and kind to tourists. Even if you do not speak their language, in case of difficulties, they will always come to your aid.

When choosing between the islands and the mainland, some tourists recommend starting from the time of year. For example, if you are planning a trip in the fall and winter, choose. This is the best time for sightseeing and shopping. For a summer holiday by the sea, it is better to prefer the islands, where, due to the presence of winds, the heat is not so strongly felt.

For those who are going to Greece for the first time: in an accessible and visual way we talk about the features of holidays in Greece, mainland resorts and islands, routes, best hotels and holiday prices.
For a good and inexpensive beach holiday in the Mediterranean without an intensive excursion program, you won’t find anything better than the resorts of island and mainland Greece. It's incredibly beautiful there. Delicious. Comfortable: absolutely all tourists note the sincere, not ostentatious cordiality and hospitality of the Greeks. Yes, Thailand is the land of smiles. Yes, in Italians we feel "ours". Yes, the Spaniards are only arrogant in appearance, but in fact they are friendly and cheerful. But only upon returning from Greece, there is a feeling as if you had a rest in the village with relatives and people close to you.

Where to go? Greece or Spain, Italy, Turkey?

The cost of holidays in Spain and Greece is almost the same. Italy, of course, will cost more. Holidays in a simple hotel in Turkey can be cheaper, especially if it is all inclusive. However, you need to understand that cheap Turkish all-inclusive will lose to the Greek format when travelers eat in small taverns: in Greece it will be much tastier, although a little more expensive. After all, are you going on vacation or saving on matches? If we compare "all-inclusive" holidays in Turkey and in Greece in hotels high level, then there will be no tangible difference in price, it makes sense to simply choose a good hotel that fully meets your needs. If you have never been to Greece, Spain or Italy, and choose between these countries, then in this case you need to prioritize correctly. Rest in the mass resorts of Spain gives you the opportunity to see the most beautiful cities on the planet - Barcelona or Granada; if desired, in Spain you can make a rather rich excursion vacation. Italy is generally more of a sightseeing holiday, and the beaches are just a nice addition to it. But Greece is the sea, the sea, the sea. Well, there is also gastronomic chaos: olives, moussaka, gyros ... And those who rent a car will be rewarded: the whole vacation you can explore the most beautiful bays, study and compare menus in taverns on different coasts and see the most picturesque views of the planet. For experienced travelers Greece - perfect option a simple short vacation at sea: cheap, tasty, beautiful, sincere.

Weather in Greece. Best time to visit

The sun in Greece shines and warms almost all year round, the amount of precipitation is minimal, and the beginning of the tourist season coincides with International Women's Day. March to May Greece is full of flowers, the air temperature fluctuates between 17 - 20 degrees Celsius, of course, it's too early for swimming, but it's ideal for long sightseeing tours. Some of our compatriots, traveling to Greece, open the bathing season and in April and finish at mid October, but this applies exclusively to areas of southern Greece (the Peloponnese, Loutraki, the islands of Evia and Crete). In the north, in the region of Chalkidiki, the swimming season begins in May and lasts until the end of September. The hottest time of the year is in July and August, both in terms of temperature, number of tourists and prices. Therefore, if it is not possible to transfer your vacation to the velvet season, then at least choose hotels with pools and private beaches. In this case, your vacation in Greece will be much more comfortable. The ideal time for a beach holiday and excursions is June and September.

Tour or self-booking?

There are no obstacles for experienced travelers to book holidays in Greece on their own: our search results in most flight options both to the mainland (Athens, Thessaloniki) and to popular islands (Crete, Rhodes, Corfu). Articles on SmartTrip have links to interesting hotels, as well as maps of resorts with hotels where you can compare prices on different booking sites. A taxi from the airport to the hotel costs reasonable money. However, with Greece there is the same subtlety as with Goa and Phuket: sometimes, with some luck, a ticket is cheaper.
