know before you go greece number one greece is expensive i could not believe how expensive greece was especially transportation to the island and when you’re living on the island yourself so for that reason i’m gonna give it a rating of 7.5 out of 10. number two you need to plan ferries and buses sell out quick and they can potentially leave you stranded on islands or in cities that you didn’t want to be in for more than one day number three the nature is incredible everyone always talks about greece and how beautiful it is and they are not lying go into northern greece and check out meteora of a must-see place when you’re in the country number four credit card is king i barely had any cash on me for the entire time that i was in greece i had 100 euro and i left with still some euros in my pocket number five youth discount if you’re under 24 you can get a discount on almost anything from public transportation ferries historical landmark anything you can think of you can get a discount for

I'm 19 from Greece and I have a hard time getting discounts ππ how can you?! Truth is: if you're from the EU you can basically get in museums and monumental sites for free if you're under 25 years old. BUT about the ferries and the busses I'm not so sure. Busses don't give big discounts anyway, ferries do only if you are a uni student or a child. You can try showing them your uni card, but it's not a guarantee that it works for non-greeks
Greece is NOT expensive, unless you're considering SANTORINI being Greece. I've been to Crere 7 times. I spent May through Sept there throughout the 1980s. I was there in 2023 for a month. Average tourist spends about $80 per day, on transportation, food, entertainment,. For 1 month staying at a villa with an upstairs and downstairs. 2 bathrooms. On beach. Kitchen. Crazy cold AC $2,700 for the month. A beachfront 1 bedroom hotel room would cost more than that in USA. Have you ever been to Crete? If you haven't, please go. Its not expensive. It's beautiful. The people are beyond welcoming. My ashes will be taken there for my eternal resting place. Santorini, that's another story. I witnessed the worse case of animal abuse I've ever seen. I went on a day trip from crete. I wish I would have read the reviews before going. So many reviews about the animal abuse. Since it's a volcanic island, there's no water produced on the island. Water is brought to the island. Those poor donkeys work all day, carrying lazy tourist to the top of the island until they just collapsed. Then, the donkeys are just push over into the sea. I literally had an anxiety attack. It was awful. Anyway, it's not expensive at all on crete.
have u been in kos island?
Dude, did you go to Greece. Lol
Going next month. Canβt wait!
πππππππ point 1 , 2 and 4 are a lie
So you had $100 and left with money still but you call it expensiveπ€‘
Oh i didn't know my country Grecce is expensive π’
Itβs expensive when youβre in your 20βs and broke
As an Australian who regularly visits Greece I base myself on Crete and book ahead cheap ferries. I often eat and drink at tavernas, donβt go to expensive restaurants or night clubs. Hire cars from local companies when needed. For me once Iβm there itβs cheap.

True, just checking hotels in Athens and I'm shocked!!!!
expensive for tourists
Most classic things and location are expensive, i will be on vacation to Greece or spend a lofe there if i have a honest and Godly woman from Greece, very beautiful, cool, calm and peaceful place i have always seen and heard
An American saying that Greece is expensive sounds strange, for a lack of a more appropriate word.
I am Greek. 1 tip, do not trust the 5 star restaurants if you go to
small streets
Wasnβt expensive when I went there in may?
π«€ guess it depends where you go big guy! π€·πΌββοΈ
Greece isn't expensive it's actually very reasonable and most restaurants etc actually prefer cash like anywhere else
About #2: If you are not renting a car and plan to use public transport, make sure no one is on strike during the time of your visit. You need to check this 3-2 days before your trip just in case airplanes/airports may also participate in the strike and to avoid any last minute changes (sometimes they decide to go on strike only a few days before).
Hospitals are not very good.
Donβt go to the tourist trap areas and the islands that are expensive because there are plenty of places that are incredibly beautiful and great places to live. I live in one of those places which is not far from Athens you stupid Americans.
Cash is king. Not credit card. No idea why you're promoting bank cards which create poverty
Yeah Greece isnt expensive…

Yes but what if I'm driving with my car π
It's not expensive at all. In fact it's very affordable if you plan and budget properly. I'm from South Africa where cost of living has drastically increased and even many things in Greece are cheaper than they would be back home.
