Costs in Greece | LooknWalk Greece

Any savvy traveler starts making plans for a vacation in Greece with figuring out the budget for it. But in order to have a budget, first you need to know the costs of traveling to Greece and within the country.

Although part of the Eurozone, Greece is not one of the expensive countries to travel to in Europe. While you’ll have to rack up some money for the international flight here, once you land, you’ll notice that things aren’t that expensive.

Plus, there are plenty of ways to save money while in Greece. You can stay in a hostel or budget hotel rather than pay a lot for a mid-range hotel. Self catering is another great option especially if you stay in a studio.

The exchange rate keeps changing, greatly influenced by the economic and political events taking place in Greece and Europe.

Your money will go a longer way if you travel to Greece outside the peak season (July and August). Typically, you’ll save more if you travel in May, June, September or October.
