Greece is one of those Mediterranean countries that is wonderful. It offers an exciting combination of sunny islands, tall mountains, buzzing cities and traditions that are timeless. Whether you are there for only a couple of days, or for longer periods of time, Greece can offer all the treasures of the Mediterranean lifestyle, with an added Greek unique touch. From gorgeous weather year-round, affordable prices, delicious food, friendly locals, and an intriguing history. Every corner of this country has something to offer and a high list of must-see places. Of course, the less touristic towns always leave the most lasting memories in many peoples visits, although the more touristic places are also wonderful. Greece is a country that is welcoming and full of surprises!
The first reason why Greece is wonderful is the affordable prices, especially when it comes to accommodation. You can make sure your time spent there is super affordable by using public transport, staying away from touristic spots, and shopping/eating locally. Do be cautious when it comes to touristic areas, as there the prices tend to be relatively more expensive. We always say, eat where the locals eat and that way you can be sure to be getting a fair price!
Greece’s cuisine is absolutely incredible, with lots of dishes and delicious tastes to try, it is a food-lovers dream. Many of the dishes are centered around fresh sea food, as many of the cities are coastal. Some dishes you absolutely have to try are souvlaki, saganaki, tzatziki, and a classic, the Greek salad.
Greece is a country that really values tradition, family, and the outdoors. Tourism plays a huge role in Greece’s economy, so Greece is usually very welcoming to foreigners. Many Greek people speak English very well, and the country’s infrastructure caters to visitors and locals very well.
If you like sun and very mild weather in the winter, then you’ll love the climate here. With refreshing, light breezes in the summer, bright but mild days in the winter, and just the perfect weather in the spring and autumn it is everything you could want.
Finally, Greece is one of the safest countries in Europe and you feel secure whilst walking down the streets, day, or night. Of course, you should always be alert and aware of your surroundings to make sure you prevent some rare cases theft.
