Money-Saving Tips

• Travel in the off-season: The most popular time to visit, with the highest prices from June to September. Visit in May or October, and the weather is reliably warm, but prices are much lower.
• Rent an electric bicycle or moped: They’re cheaper than rental cars and popular for getting around on islands and in coastal resorts. Just be careful. They are very noisy, and you may not be aware of traffic coming up behind you.
• Take advantage of what’s free: Most museums and historical attractions have free admission on certain days or for certain groups of travelers. Look up the site you’re interested in on the Greek Ministry of Culture & Sports website. In the left column of your attraction’s listing, click on “Information,” and you’ll find all the free days.
