Destination Guide - Greece
Greece is a beautiful landscape filled piercing blue skies, ancient sun-bleached ruins, endless coastlines, vibrant culture and mouth-watering cuisine.
Many people associate the country as just another Sun, Sand and Sea destination, but there’s much more to explore! Greece’s depth eclipses the sun-drenched archipelagos and 9000+ miles of coastline with a multitude of inspiring sights inland. Magnificent mountains and peaks mix with lavish meadows, rivers and gorges for hiking trails, and unique flora and fauna are can be found far and wide.
You’ll have to pick the right time of year when travelling to Greece, and if you’re looking for maximum sun in the high season, be prepared for larger crowds and busy attractions
In the Shoulder seasons, temperatures are a few degrees cooler, and Internal flights and island ferries may have reduced schedules.
In the low seasons many hotels, sights and restaurants shut down, especially on the islands, Athens and Crete may even see snow. On the upside, accommodation rates can be significantly lower, as much as half price!
Low Season: November–March
Shoulder Seasons: April, September-October
High Seasons: Easter, May-August
The currency in Greece is Euros, although you can arrange a currency exchange before you travel, purchase a currency card, or exchange money once you have arrived.
Here’s what you can expect to pay on an average day:

Total – Typical £105-£135|Luxury £170-£195
These are generous estimates however, and it’s certainly possible to travel for much less!
To get the most out of your journey to Greece you’ll need to delve in the rich and vibrant culture, and what better way to start than tasting the unique foods Greece has to offer Traditional Greek cuisine is Mediterranean based food filled with masses of different flavours:
Greek Salad - The Traditional Greek salad (which is also known as Horiatiki) includes some of Greece’s best produce such as Kalamata olives and Feta Cheese. Light, fresh and hard to resist!
Gyros –A hand-held pita sandwich like you’ve never had it before! Gyros can be filled with a wide assortment of Greece’s delicious meats and vegetables. These can be found all over Greece in different variations, you may have to hunt down your favourite local mix!
Souvlaki – A lamb Kebab, marinated with an abundance of herbs and spices and then grilled to perfection. Often served alongside other Greek classics such as pita or a Greek salad.
Tzatziki – an all-purpose sauce in Greek cuisine. It’s made with a combination of Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon and dill, then drizzled with olive oil and dressed with some olives. Often eaten as a party dip alongside salads or kebabs.

13 things to know before you go to Greece and the Greek Islands

These top planning tips can help you prep for a trip to Greece, from health and safety to local etiquette © EMS-FORSTER-PRODUCTIONS / Getty Images
Get out your bucket list; it’s time to cross off a major line item: Greece .
The fabled land remains tops for culture , food, outdoor travel, art and, of course, beaches and islands . As part of the border-free Schengen Area, it’s also incredibly easy to visit for many travelers worldwide. From advance booking to local etiquette – and health and safety issues when you're there – here's everything you need to know to plan a memorable trip to Greece.
1. Choose your season wisely
Your experience in Greece will be wildly different depending on when you visit . Summer is tops for action, family fun, and swimming in the Mediterranean Sea, but prices are at their highest and pre-booking is necessary for everything since it’s all so popular.
The shoulder seasons (spring and autumn) are a delight – prices are lower, and rooms and resources are more readily available. Winter offers a moody and budget-friendly retreat, great for walking, hiking and sedate travels where you will often be the only visitor around. Bear in mind that some businesses will shut down completely during the low season.
2. Prioritize your wishlist and make a plan
Do you want a grand tour, taking in the not-to-be-missed highlights all over Greece, or would you prefer to focus your time on exploring your favorite islands or regions, like the Peloponnese ?
The best way to choose from the dizzying array of options on offer is to focus on what is important to you – relaxing on beautiful beaches, learning more about Greece's fascinating history and culture , museums and archaeology, off-the-beaten-track wildlife, or partying until dawn – and plan accordingly.
![inspire travel greece Mykonos Greece, woman on vacation at the Greek Island Mykonos, girl in dress at the white streets of little venice Mykonos Greece Europe](https://lp-cms-production.s3.amazonaws.com/public/2023-06/GettyImages-1248798435.jpg?w=1920&auto=format&q=75)
3. Find the perfect island or region for you
Greece merits multiple trips as every island offers something different , and each of its regions is equally dazzling – you're never going to see everything on your first visit, and you'll ruin your trip if you pressure yourself to do just that. Also, don’t be fooled that the biggies are the only islands worthy of your attention. Though Mykonos , Santorini and the major names have plenty to offer, lesser-known islands (there are hundreds!) like Amorgos or Kythira are also a delight. They've also got the added bonus of smaller crowds and lower prices if that's a key consideration for you.
4. Athens isn't the only gateway to Greece
In many cases, you will find it useful to transit in or out of Greece via Athens , as its airport has connections with numerous international destinations, and the city itself is a gem . However, there are other international airports around the Greek mainland (such as in Thessaloniki ) and on some major islands (such as Mykonos , Santorini and Corfu ).
If you need any internal flights to get to your destination of choice, it's worth checking the price of these individually. Due to government subsidies, it can work out significantly cheaper to book each part of your Greek itinerary separately from your international flights.
5. Book everything in advance during peak season
In peak season , prices are high, and demand for car hire, accommodations and ferry tickets is even higher – this is not the time for ad hoc bookings on the fly. Greece is an incredibly popular summer destination, and the best options get snapped up well in advance.
![inspire travel greece Two women sit on the beach chatting in front of their parked four-wheel drive vehicle](https://lp-cms-production.s3.amazonaws.com/public/2023-02/GettyImages-1419297876.jpg?w=1920&auto=format&q=75)
6. Roads in Greece are for confident drivers
No one who has traveled on Greece’s roads will be surprised to hear that the country’s road fatality rate is one of the highest in Europe. Overtaking is listed as the greatest cause of accidents. Heart-stopping moments aside, your own car is a great way to explore off the beaten track if you are confident in your driving and keep a few key points in mind.
- The road network has improved enormously in recent years; many roads marked as dirt tracks on older maps have now been sealed, and a lot of the islands have very little traffic.
- There are regular (if costly) car-ferry services to almost all islands.
- Greece is not the best place to initiate yourself into motorcycling. If you're not confident on a motorbike, it may be best to park this option until you have more experience.
- All the big multinational car-rental companies are represented in Athens, and most have branches in major towns and popular tourist destinations. The majority of islands have at least one outlet.
7. Greece is not very wheelchair-friendly beyond Athens
Access for travelers with disabilities has improved somewhat in recent years, but the majority of accessible sights, hotels and restaurants tend to be located in Athens. While improvements are on the horizon for beach access, much of the rest of Greece remains inaccessible to wheelchairs, and the abundance of stones, marble, slippery cobbles and stepped alleys create frustrating barriers for those with mobility issues. People who have visual or hearing impairments are also rarely catered for.
Careful planning before you go can make a world of difference. There are specific resources online that provide links to local articles, resorts and tour groups catering to tourists with physical disabilities.
8. Pack the right kinds of clothing
Athenians are well-dressed, and the younger crowd is trendy, so keep your smart clothes for the urban catwalk of clubs and bars. Nevertheless, in Athens and other metropolises such as Rhodes , Thessaloniki and Iraklio , everyday attire such as shorts or jeans and casual tops are just fine.
Bars or fashionable restaurants require more effort – the scene is stylish rather than dressy. Think tops and trousers rather than T-shirts and cut-offs. In out-of-the-way places, you can wear casual clothing, and in summer, the heat will make you want to wear the least amount of fabric you can get away with – bring quick-drying tank tops and cool dresses.
Sturdy walking shoes are a must for the cobbled roads, and proper hiking boots are key if you're exploring the countryside on foot . It's respectful to cover up before entering churches.
9. Learn some basic Greek phrases
Greek is a tough language to learn thoroughly, but mastering a few basic greetings and niceties will make a world of difference in how Greek speakers receive you. In touristed areas, many people speak English, so rest assured that you can get by as long as you know some key phrases.
![inspire travel greece A group of people sit around a wooden table at a beachside restaurant](https://lp-cms-production.s3.amazonaws.com/public/2023-02/GettyImages-1217840984.jpg?w=1920&auto=format&q=75)
10. Carry cash and don't rely on cards or ATMs
As part of the EU, Greece uses the euro. In restaurants, a service charge is normally included in the bill, and while a tip is not expected (as it is in North America), it is always appreciated. Taxi drivers normally expect you to round up the fare, while bellhops who help you carry your luggage to your hotel room or stewards on ferries who take you to your cabin normally expect a small gratuity of between €1 and €3.
ATMs are found in every town large enough to support a bank and in almost all the tourist areas. Be aware that ATMs on the islands can lose their connection for a day or two at a time, making it impossible for anyone (locals included) to withdraw money. It’s useful to keep some backup cash just in case this happens during your visit.
Credit cards are now an accepted part of the commercial scene in Greece, although they’re often not accepted on many of the smaller islands or in small villages. Don't rely on your cards alone, and check in advance when dining or drinking if it's your only option.
11. Make sure you have good travel insurance
Although medical training is of a high standard in Greece, the public health service is underfunded. Hospitals can be overcrowded, and relatives are expected to bring in food for the patient – often a problem for solo travelers. Conditions and treatment are much better in private hospitals, which are expensive. All this means that a comprehensive travel insurance policy is essential.
There is at least one doctor on every island, and larger islands have hospitals. Pharmacies can dispense medicines that are available only on prescription in most European countries. If the situation isn't critical, it's often best to consult a pharmacist first for minor ailments.

12. Stay hydrated and remember how powerful the sun can be
Tap water isn't safe to drink on many islands – if in doubt, ask. Keeping a supply of bottled water to hand is essential for hydration as well as safety; many tourists underestimate how hot it can get in Greece, and heatstroke and serious sunburn are common on beaches with little shade.
Break up your sun-drenched siestas with time in the shade getting hydrated, and pack plenty of high-factor sunscreen. Mosquitos are an irritant rather than a danger – packing insect repellant is recommended.
13. Pickpocketing and other petty crime is common in busy places
The major risks of theft in Greece are pickpockets in the large cities and theft of belongings when lounging on busy, popular beaches (leave passports behind in hotel safes). Never leave your belongings unattended, and don't leave your bags hanging from the back of your seat where you can't keep an eye on them.
The tourist police work in cooperation with the regular Greek police. Each tourist police office has at least one member of staff who speaks English. If you need to report a theft or loss of passport, go to the tourist police first, and they will act as interpreters between you and the regular police.
Some unscrupulous taxi drivers will try to charge you extortionate rates from the airports to the city centers. Always make sure the meter is running or pre-negotiate and agree on the price before you get in.

Luxury Greece Holidays FAQ's
When is the best time to visit greece.
Greece enjoys a Mediterranean climate, which means that the sun is at its hottest between June and September. During the dry summer months you can expect the lively buzz of fellow visitors, elevating the charm of the beautiful islands, and the perfect weather for enjoying the beach clubs and stretches of sands. In Greece's peak season, you can expect the best hospitality, more activities and sightseeing options, and glorious sunshine throughout your stay.
Summer is a popular time for Greece holidays, so be sure to book early to secure your preferred resort. Alternatively, the cooler spring and autumn months are a wonderful time to visit Greece - you can explore the traditional villages and ancient historic sites without the sun beating down too strongly.
What to eat in Greece & the Greek Islands
Greek cuisine offers a delightful array of flavours and dishes, reflecting its rich history and Mediterranean climate. Staples include fresh vegetables, olive oil and lean proteins - and, of course, plenty of fresh seafood!
Must-try dishes include moussaka, a layered casserole of eggplant, minced meat and béchamel sauce, and souvlaki, skewered and grilled meat, often served with pita and tzatziki. Greek salads, with tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, and feta cheese, are very refreshing - especially after a day in the sun! Seafood lovers can savour grilled octopus or succulent grilled fish. Dolmades, stuffed grape leaves, and spanakopita, a spinach and feta pastry, showcase the Mediterranean flavours for vegetarians. Don't forget to indulge in baklava, a sweet pastry, and Greek coffee to end your meal!
Greece's Travel Gems
Greece's capital.
The most exquisite historic and cultural spots can be found in the capital, Athens. A city defined by its cool café-culture, the hubbub of the locals as they gather at the local tavernas sipping coffees in the sun is as irresistible as the major sites themselves.
Keep your camera handy wherever you go, because you’ll be tripping over world-famous archaeological treasures like the Acropolis and the Odeon of Hercules. And just a hop and a skip away over on the Apollo Coast, you’ll find glamorous resorts like the Grand Resort Lagonissi with incredible views of the sea, so you can pair your city break with some tome relaxing on the beach.
Greece's Islands
If island life is more tempting for you, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Favourite spots include those like Crete and the Ionian island such as Corfu, the latter being famous for its turquoise waters, craggy coastline and dreamy sandy coves. With the isalnds' seafaring traditions, you'll be able to feast on freshly caught seafood on the pretty coastal tavernas.
Just like many of the Greek islands, you can find hallmarks of its fascinating history peppered across the landscape dating from Roman times. This makes exploration as alluring as the beautiful beaches and the azure waters that border it, while stylish hotels such as Marbella Corfu complete the idyllic picture. Take a boat trip around the coast to fully admire it.
The style-conscious won’t be disappointed with a stay in trendy Mykonos old town. With a harbour that’s pretty as picture, turquoise sea, quaint restaurants and fashionable boutiques, this petite destination has more than enough entertaining nooks and crannies to keep even the restless traveller satisfied.
To truly explore the wonders of Greece, immerse yourself in its rare sights, sounds and ambience. Everything about the country has its charms, from the winding Venetian streets of Corfu old town to Crete's intriguing Spinalonga Island.
From island-hopping to mega-cities, there’s yet another way to submerge yourself in surreally beautiful Greece, including the countryside of mainland areas like Halkidiki. The kind of place dreams are made of, Halkidiki in the northern tip of the country brings you unspoilt natural beauty, stretches of sandy beaches, deep blue waters and bustling towns like Kallithea.

Wander along cobbled Byzantine footpaths, marvel at age-old Greek ruins, hike through arid forests, and feast on fresh fish. Along the coast, enjoy the Grecian sun as you sail between islands on a private boat or relax on one of the many celebrated beaches. Whether you are looking for delectable cuisine accented with the world’s best olive oil, fascinating historical sites, or idyllic island beaches, Greece has it all.

Essence of Greece
Athens | Crete | Santorini
GREECE'S HIGHLIGHTS
Once a powerful city-state, Athens was home to Plato’s Academy and Aristotle’s Lyceum. It is also often referred to as the birthplace of democracy and Western culture itself. Its heritage of the classical era is still evident in the ancient monuments dotted throughout the city. The most famous being the mighty Parthenon in the center of the Acropolis. The innovative Acropolis museum has been painstakingly designed to not disturb the archaeological excavations below. Other highlights of the area include the ancient Agora of Athens, and the Roman Forums. Outside of the city, enjoy a scenic coastal drive to Cape Sounion, where you can visit the ancient Greek temple of Poseidon. Stop in the nearby sea town of Glyfada, also known as the Hellenic Hamptons. Best reached by private helicopter, Delphi is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that also makes for an enchanting day trip.
Peloponnese
The Peloponnese peninsula was once the heart of ancient Greek civilization. Visit Nafplio, the capital of the First Hellenic Republic in the 19th century. Explore the beautifully maintained ancient city of Mycenae, a UNESCO World Heritage site and forever linked to Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey. The nearby Epidaurus Theater has also been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site and is world-famous for its excellent condition and flawless acoustics. Perched on a hilltop near the town of Porto Heli, the luxurious Amanzoe property is the ideal base where guests can get a taste of bucolic Greek life. Visit a nearby family farm that supplies honey to the property to learn the rituals of beekeeping which have been passed down for generations. Enjoy private boating trips to visit nearby Spetses and Hydra Islands, both popular with locals but relatively unknown to tourists.
Cyclades Islands
A collection of over 220 volcanic islands in the Aegean Sea, the Cyclades are world renowned for their sheer natural beauty. Blue Parallel can create a custom land-based itinerary with stays at boutique properties and a private boat available for daily marine adventures and island hopping, or a sea-based experience with a chartered private yacht as your base. Whatever your choice, enjoy experiencing traditional island life, private wine tastings, exploring hidden beaches to name a few. Visit two of the most iconic islands: Santorini for its sunsets and dramatic views against the whitewashed towns and Mykonos for its legendary nightlife and sandy beaches. Other islands more off the beaten path, like Sifnos, Paros, Kythnos, and Anafi, are well worth visiting for their own reasons: excellent hiking, striking landscapes, traditional villages, and secluded beaches free of crowds.
Ionian Islands
Much greener than the Cyclades islands, the Ionian Islands are famous for some of the most picturesque beaches in all of Europe. Explore these enchanting islands via private catamaran with a dedicated crew ready to customize your experience. Begin on Corfu, the second largest island where the old town is a fascinating combination of the Venetian and Byzantine cultures. Sail to Paxos and Antipaxos. Paxos is known for its greenery, charming villages, and underwater caves, while Antipaxos is world-famous for its exquisite beaches. Cruise to Lefkada, a green, mountainous island with stunning white cliffs, turquoise waters, splendid beaches, and traditional villages.
Crete is home to the first European civilization, the Minoan. On this beautiful mountainous island, the largest in Greece, the Heraklion Archeological Museum’s magnificent collection will whisk you back to the Bronze Age world of the legendary King Minos. Mount your daring escape from the ancient Palace of Knossos, an architecturally complex marvel famed in mythology as the labyrinth of the Minotaur and known as Europe’s oldest city. Sail on a private boat through the turquoise waters of the Elounda Bay to the uninhabited islet of Spinalonga, where you can walk through this National Heritage Monument’s deserted 16th-century Venetian fortress and town. In Crete’s rural cobblestone villages, time seems to have stopped. Ancient Minoan paths bring hikers through beautiful natural gorges to charming towns where tradition still thrives. Amidst traditional Cretan architecture, admire local artisan weaving and savor olive oil and feta cheese crafted with old world methods.

This movie was filmed entirely in Greece. You won’t want to blink as you’re taken on a journey through the spectacular Arcadian mountains and the Peloponnesian coast. The movie tells the story of two American teenagers who travel around the Peloponnese and become stranded in rural Greece.

The movie tells the fictionalised story of the friendship and rivalry between two champion deep-water free divers.

20 Photos to Inspire you to Travel to Greece
Last Updated on May 15, 2024 by Natalie
Ah, to travel to Greece is like hitting the Park Place of a monopoly board – it’s THE spot!
My trip to Greece was one of the first times I had ever traveled outside of the United States. It was beautiful, dreamy, and unlike anything I had ever seen before.
One of the many things I love about traveling to Greece is the country has a wide variety of different destinations to choose from. Whether you fancy the bustling city life of Athens, the party island of Mykonos, or discovering a pirate fort on an island in Crete – Greece truly has it all.
![inspire travel greece](https://pursesandplanes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/greece-pin-1-683x1024.jpg)
In no particular order, here are 20 photos to Inspire you to Travel to Greece (including some places you have never heard of!)
Gramvousa, Crete
There is something so beautiful about an abandoned ship sitting in the most pristine water you’ll ever see. If you are staying in Chania, I highly recommend booking a day tour to Gramvousa & Balos (often paired together).
The shipwreck of “ DIMITRIOS P ” resides in Gramvousa bay alongside a couple of other abandoned boats.
![inspire travel greece](https://pursesandplanes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Greece-Travel-photo-1-1024x683.jpg)
Did I mention there are also ancient pirate forts? Literally one of the coolest places in Greece!
![inspire travel greece](https://pursesandplanes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Greece-travel-5.jpg)
Who said Pirates didn’t go to church?
![inspire travel greece](https://pursesandplanes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/gr-16.jpg)
Odds are if you’ve done the slightest research in traveling to Greece, that Santorini comes up at the top! Santorini is the most popular island in Greece.
Santorini is stunning and totally worth exploring. However, it can be very touristy and expensive in comparison to some of the other Greek islands that are just as beautiful.
![inspire travel greece](https://pursesandplanes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Greece-Travel-photo-2.jpg)
Elafonisi Lagoon, Crete
“The Pink Beach” they call this crystal blue lagoon in Crete.
There is a type of reaction the water has between the sand and the shells, thus causing the sand a blush pink color
![inspire travel greece](https://pursesandplanes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/pink-beach-re-edited.jpg)
TIP – the sand isn’t always pink, it truly just depends on the day. I drove hours to see this beach and it wasn’t pink at all at first, which was obviously disappointing. However, after about an hour of being there, we got lucky and it changed to super pink in the late afternoon.
Pink sand aside, the beach is beautiful and very clean. It’s totally worth a short drive, but I wouldn’t plan your entire trip around it! Read more about Elafonisi and when to visit, here.
![inspire travel greece](https://pursesandplanes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/pink-beach-3.jpg)
Acropolis of Lindos, Rhodes
The Acropolis of Lindos Medieval Castle is one of my favorite historical sights I’ve ever explored. Lindos itself feels like a step back in time. Rhodes is one of my favorite Greek islands, and it’s completely underrated.
![inspire travel greece](https://pursesandplanes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/greece-travel-photo-6.jpg)
Heraklion, Crete
Heraklion is the capitol of Crete and one of the largest cities in Greece. It’s nice to walk around and explore for a day, especially if you are into exploring some historical sights.
![inspire travel greece](https://pursesandplanes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/greece-travel-photo-8-1024x683.jpg)
When I think of Mykonos I’m instantly reminded of water-front restaurants, colorful buildings, and bumpin’ nightclubs.
Mykonos is definitely known as one of the party islands of Greece. However, it’s enjoyable for any type of traveler.. just take look at how stunning it is.
![inspire travel greece travel to Greece](https://pursesandplanes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/greece-travel-photo-9.jpg)
Malia , Crete
Malia is a coastal town in Crete that is known for two things – the stunning beaches and nightlife.
![inspire travel greece travel to Greece](https://pursesandplanes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/crete-3-milas-1024x768.jpg)
Chania, Crete
If you are planning a big trip to Crete, Chania is a fantastic place to base yourself. There’s quite a bit to do in the city and there are loads of day tours to many places like Gramvousa, Balos, and even Santorini.
![inspire travel greece travel to Greece](https://pursesandplanes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/greece-travel-13.jpg)
The Parthenon, Athens
The Parthenon is a fantastic historic sight to see when visiting the country’s capital.
![inspire travel greece travel to Greece](https://pursesandplanes.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/IMG_5028.jpg)

Yes please! I am so ready to go anywhere, but Greece is definitely up there on my list for 2021!
Me too Denise!
Greece has been on my list to visit for a very long time, but I haven’t yet made it. These photos are everything I dreamt of when hoping to one day get there. The white washed buildings, the archaeological sites, and those ocean vistas – gorgeous!
Thanks, Hannah! I’m sure you’ll make a visit someday, it’s truly a special place.
I’ve wanted to visit Greece for over 4 years, and this just made it all the most desirable!! I don’t think it’ll happen anytime soon, but I still enjoyed your photos 🙂
I totally understand, but I do hope you get to go sometime in the future!!
The Pink Beach looks so cool! It’s definitely nice to have realistic expectations about it not always being pink. I’ve always wanted to go to Santorini, but again, it’s good to have the heads up that it will be more expensive and touristy than other islands!
Greece is absolutely my favourite place to travel to and I’ve missed it this year, thanks so much for the inspiration! So very happy to see Hania on the list as well, such an underrated and beautiful city.
Yes I agree! I think people often shoot to Santorini or Mykonos, but there are so many islands that offer just as much if not more!
The islands of Greece just have my soul! I spent a beautiful 10 days with my relatives who live in Greece and need to go back soon for soo many reasons
Wow so jealous you have relatives who live there. I also hope to go back very soon!
Absolutely beautiful photo’s. Would love to visit Greece one day. Thank you for sharing your photo’s!
Thanks so much Dwight, I’m glad you like them! I hope you can visit someday as well 🙂

Greece - Christian Tours
Greece is a country in southeastern Europe with thousands of islands throughout the Aegean and Ionian seas. Influential in ancient times, it's often called the cradle of Western civilization. Athens, its capital, retains landmarks including the 5th-century B.C. Acropolis citadel with the Parthenon temple. Greece is also known for its beaches, from the black sands of Santorini to the party resorts of Mykonos.

Top 15 Greek Songs (Music Videos) that Inspire Travel to Greece
![Top-Greek-Songs-Music-Videos-that-Inspire-Travel-to-Greece Top Greek Songs Music Videos that Inspire Travel to Greece](https://greekgodsparadise.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Top-Greek-Songs-Music-Videos-that-Inspire-Travel-to-Greece-696x512.jpg)
Here are my Top 15 Greek Songs that inspire travel to Greece which I’m sure music lovers from around the world would enjoy. You definitely don’t have to be Greek to like these great songs. The bonus with these Greek songs is that you can watch some of the best music videos from Greece you could ever hope to see.
The scenery is fantastic in some of these music videos, especially the songs set in the Greek Islands . Hot Greek women, cool Greek guys, these Greek music videos have it all.
One thing that I should warn you about is that you will notice sunscreen and drink brand advertising in a few of these music videos. It definitely distracts from the music, but I suppose it allows for a better overall video to be made.
If you listen to all of these top Greek songs from Greece, I’m sure you will have heard and seen some of the best Greek songs of all time. One of the songs could even inspire you to visit Greece for the first time if you haven’t been already.
You need to listen to all of these songs, even though I have a countdown, since my taste in Greek music may be very different to yours. I’m sure you will enjoy listening to a few of these songs, no matter what your taste in music. Let’s start off with a classic.
15. Stereo Love – Edward Maya & Vika Jigulina
Ok, technically this is not a Greek song, but that won’t stop me from including it in this list. Listening to this song from 2009 to begin with is a great way to start this countdown of best music videos from Greece, as the song is extremely catchy and it was shot in the island of Mykonos, in Greece.
I’m sure you will enjoy it. Anyone who has heard it before will probably remember it straight away. Once you’ve heard it once, how could you ever forget?
Greek Music Video Setting: Mykonos
14. Arhes kalokairiou – Tamta
Greek song name (translation) and singer: Beginning of Summer (Αρχές Καλοκαιριού) – Τάμτα
This music video has stunning scenery but it does feel as though you’re watching one big commercial.
Voidokilia Beach is the beautiful beach with a semicircular arc of sand strikingly similar in shape to the Greek letter Omega Ω.
There is also an English version of this song (lyrics only) called Tag You in My Sky .
Greek Music Video Setting: Voidokilia in the Messenia region of the Peloponnese, and Neda Waterfalls
13. Magava Tout (Thelo Esena) – Anna Vissi
![inspire travel greece Antidoto Greek music record cover](https://greekgodsparadise.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Antidoto-Greek-music-record-cover.jpg)

From her Album: Antidoto (Greek: Αντιδοτο; English: Antidote)
Check out her Medusa (snake) hair on the album cover.

Greek Music Video Setting: Santorini
12. To nisi – Despina Vandi

10. To Fili Tis Zois – Helena Paparizou
Greek song name (translation): The Kiss of Life
The theme song of the Greek Romantic Comedy To Fili Tis Zois.
Greek Music Video Setting: Sifnos
9. #SexySelfie – Master Tempo
This is a top Greek song and the music video is out of this world. Very cool.
Greek Music Video Setting: Mykonos and the World
8. Eho giorti – Panos Kalidis
Greek song details: I’m Celebrating (Έχω γιορτή) – Πάνος Καλίδης
I really like this music video.
Greek Music Video Inspiration: Greece
7. Ora Na Gyriseis – Malu
Extra Greek song info: Time to come back (Ώρα Να Γυρίσεις) – Μαλού
I agree. Zeus it’s time to come back.
Set in the Greek island of Naxos. Starts off with a great view of Apollo temple.
Greek Music Video Setting: Naxos
6. Xana – OtherView
Greek song details: Again (Ξανά) – Single by OtherView
5. Pes to Nai – Kostas Martakis

4. Kalokairines Diakopes – Josephine
Greek song details: Forever summer vacations (Καλοκαιρινές Στιγμές)
One top Greek song with a cool music video to match.

2. Stohos Ine Ta Lefta – Julia Alexandratou
Greek song details – Target is Cash – Tzoulia Alexandratou (Γαρυφαλλιά Αλεξανδράτου)
There seems to be some underlying meaning to this Greek song. I think it could be one of those special songs linked to the Greek Gods and Greek Mythology .
Greek Music Video Setting: Athens and Mykonos
1. Ela – Despina Vandi (My Top Greek Song)
Greek song name translation: Come to me – Δέσποινα Μαλέα
- From the album: Gia
- Label: Heaven
This music video is set on the Greek island of Milos, the island where the statue of Venus de Milo was first discovered. The island is also famous for the greyish-white smooth lunar like rock at Sarakiniko beach.
Ela has to be one of the most heavenly songs I have ever heard and seen in my life.
I rank it as the best Greek song of all time. Despina Vandi is definitely a Greek Goddess. No wonder the label is Heaven.
Greek Music Video Setting: Milos
Despina also has another song in this list of best Greek Songs and Music Videos (number 12 position) if you didn’t notice.
There you have it everyone: My list of top 15 Greek Songs (Music Videos) that inspire travel to Greece.

Destination Guide - Greece
Greece is a beautiful landscape filled piercing blue skies, ancient sun-bleached ruins, endless coastlines, vibrant culture and mouth-watering cuisine.
Many people associate the country as just another Sun, Sand and Sea destination, but there’s much more to explore! Greece’s depth eclipses the sun-drenched archipelagos and 9000+ miles of coastline with a multitude of inspiring sights inland. Magnificent mountains and peaks mix with lavish meadows, rivers and gorges for hiking trails, and unique flora and fauna are can be found far and wide.
You’ll have to pick the right time of year when travelling to Greece, and if you’re looking for maximum sun in the high season, be prepared for larger crowds and busy attractions
In the Shoulder seasons, temperatures are a few degrees cooler, and Internal flights and island ferries may have reduced schedules.
In the low seasons many hotels, sights and restaurants shut down, especially on the islands, Athens and Crete may even see snow. On the upside, accommodation rates can be significantly lower, as much as half price!
Low Season: November–March
Shoulder Seasons: April, September-October
High Seasons: Easter, May-August
The currency in Greece is Euros, although you can arrange a currency exchange before you travel, purchase a currency card, or exchange money once you have arrived.
Here’s what you can expect to pay on an average day:
Hotel – Typical £30-£40|Luxury £50-£75 (Very nice hotels!)
Food – Typical £30-£40|Luxury £50 (Nice meals with alcoholic drinks)
Drinks – Typical £15-25|Luxury £30
Activities – Typical £30|£40 (including day tours)
Total – Typical £105-£135|Luxury £170-£195
These are generous estimates however, and it’s certainly possible to travel for much less!
To get the most out of your journey to Greece you’ll need to delve in the rich and vibrant culture, and what better way to start than tasting the unique foods Greece has to offer Traditional Greek cuisine is Mediterranean based food filled with masses of different flavours:
Greek Salad - The Traditional Greek salad (which is also known as Horiatiki) includes some of Greece’s best produce such as Kalamata olives and Feta Cheese. Light, fresh and hard to resist!
Gyros –A hand-held pita sandwich like you’ve never had it before! Gyros can be filled with a wide assortment of Greece’s delicious meats and vegetables. These can be found all over Greece in different variations, you may have to hunt down your favourite local mix!
Souvlaki – A lamb Kebab, marinated with an abundance of herbs and spices and then grilled to perfection. Often served alongside other Greek classics such as pita or a Greek salad.
Tzatziki – an all-purpose sauce in Greek cuisine. It’s made with a combination of Greek yogurt, garlic, lemon and dill, then drizzled with olive oil and dressed with some olives. Often eaten as a party dip alongside salads or kebabs.
It’s never a bad idea to learn more language and a country’s culture, so here are a some words you can practice for your trip:
Good morning: Καλημέρα (kah-lee-MER-ah)
