Budget Tours & Trips to Greece Reviews
- Greek Island Dream Paros, Naxos & Santorini- 7 Days (Self-Guided Package)
It was great to see the Greek islands for the first time. The hotels were comfortable and clean. Thank you.
- Highlights of Greece Tour - 8 Days
All the tour activities were executed near perfectly per plan, from the pick-up at the airport, to the scheduled tour bus pick-ups, to the taxi transfers. The hotels that we stayed-in in Athens, Kalambaka and Santorini were clean and neat - all met or exceeded our expectations. The assigned tour guides evidently loved what they were doing and shared their knowledge with passion and humor. Only two issues that I have to point out for others to beware: - The walk-paths on the archeological sites can be very steep, narrow and mostly lack guard rails. With the massive crowds on these paths, they are accidents begging to happen. The climb up to the Parthenon from the road is particularly treacherous - they've used marble paving stones all the way up. Smooth as glass, I wonder how anyone can navigate this path when even slightly wet or snowy. - The whole deck on the Piraeus-Santorini ferry is a smoking zone as it became apparent to us. It was horrible. It was impossible to find a seating position where one can relax and enjoy the otherwise splendid views of the ride without being ruined by some random passenger lighting a cigarette on the next table - even with hordes of young children around. We spent most of the time shifting from one table to another in hope to find some fresh air - it was a miserable experience.
- Athens & Santorini Tour - 5 Days - Standard
My friends and I had an amazing time, and having that reassurance that if anything went wrong we had a number to call. The plan was very well thought out and explained, our guide Elias was very helpful in giving us the details and welcoming us at the airport. Would recommend this trip to my family
What our customers ask about Budget Tours & Trips to Greece
What are the best budget-friendly areas to stay in Greece?
Budget-conscious travelers will find better value in Athens' Psiri and Koukaki districts compared to the popular Plaka area. On Santorini the beachside towns of Perissa and Kamari offer more reasonable rates than the iconic Oia. One TourRadar traveler shared: "Staying in Kamari Beach area of Santorini offered great value with lovely restaurants and beach access." For Mykonos the neighborhoods of Ornos and Platis Gialos provide affordable options with good transport links. Mainland spots like Kalambaka near Meteora consistently offer lower rates than most island destinations.
When is the most affordable time to visit Greece on a budget tour?
The sweet spot for budget travel to Greece falls during March-May and September-October. These shoulder months deliver mild weather and reduced rates. Winter visits from November through February bring the lowest prices especially in Athens and mainland areas though some sites operate on limited schedules. One TourRadar traveler noted: "Going in November meant less crowds and better rates though some shops/restaurants in Santorini were closed." Travelers can save up to 40% on rooms and tours by avoiding the July-August high season.
How much additional spending money should I budget for a tour in Greece?
Plan for about 50-75 USD daily beyond tour costs in Greece. This covers basic meals with lunches around 15-20 USD dinners at 20-25 USD plus activities and personal needs. TourRadar travelers suggest "An additional 500-600 EUR in cash is recommended for incidentals during the trip." Key costs include entry fees for archaeological sites which run 12-20 USD local transport at 2-3 USD per ride and optional activities like Santorini boat excursions for 35-50 USD.
What type of accommodation is typically offered on budget tours in Greece?
Three-star hotels form the backbone of budget tours with properties like Hotel Jason Inn in Athens Hotel Terra Blue in Santorini and Hotel Charissi in Mykonos. TourRadar travelers report: "The hotels were clean and safe...some accommodations were very basic but made up for by stunning locations and friendly welcomes." Expect private bathrooms air conditioning and breakfast service in simple but functional rooms. Location near attractions and beaches takes priority over luxury touches.
Are entrance fees to attractions included in budget tour prices?
Most guided segments cover major site entry fees such as the Acropolis in Athens (20 USD) and Delphi archaeological park (12 USD). A TourRadar traveler confirms: "The Athens half-day tour included all entrance fees to Acropolis and its museum." Extra activities like Santorini volcano visits (20 USD) or Delos island trips from Mykonos (50 USD) usually cost extra. Set aside 100-150 USD for optional attractions during a typical 7-10 day tour.
What types of transportation are included in budget Greece tours?
The standard package includes essential transfers between destinations with hotel pickups ferry rides between islands and coach transport for mainland routes. According to one TourRadar traveler: "All the transfers were handled seamlessly. The drivers were always prompt friendly and helpful." Tours connecting Athens with the islands provide economy ferry passage (Athens to Santorini takes 7-8 hours) while mainland itineraries use modern buses between sites like Delphi and Meteora.
