USEFUL INFORMATION FOR PLANNING YOUR HOLIDAY TO GREECE
What are the top islands to visit in Greece?

What is the best way to get around Greece?
On the mainland, renting a car is a great idea so you can explore at your own pace, or we can arrange private guides/transfers so you won't have to think about anything! Ferries are the best way to travel between islands and for a more private experience consider hiring a private boat.
Is Greece family-friendly for a holiday?
Absolutely! Greece is a great destination for families with its mix of beautiful beaches, historical sites and outdoor activities. Islands like Rhodes and Crete have plenty of family friendly resorts, water parks and excursions that kids will love.
What is the currency in Greece, and can I use credit cards?
The official currency in Greece is the Euro. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants and larger shops. We recommend carrying some cash when visiting smaller villages, markets or tipping.
What are the best activities for a luxury holiday in Greece?
For a luxury holiday to Greece you can stay in a private villa, waited on hand and foot or boutique hotels with caldera views in Santorini like Kapari, or why not take a private yacht around the islands, or a wine-tasting tour in Crete. The options are endless.
Are there any cultural customs I should be aware of in Greece?
Greece has a rich cultural heritage and respect for their traditions is important. If you're visiting churches or monasteries, it is polite to dress modestly. Tipping is customary in restaurants, usually 5-10%.
Best Time to Visit Greece
The best time to visit Greece is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October). During these periods, the weather is pleasantly warm, making it ideal for sightseeing, beach trips, and outdoor activities. Additionally, these seasons see fewer tourists compared to the peak summer months, allowing you to enjoy popular destinations like Santorini, Mykonos, and Athens without large crowds.
If you're looking for warmer sea temperatures and lively island vibes, July and August are perfect, though they can be hotter and busier.
