Frequently asked questions about hostels in Greece

What are the most affordable attractions for backpackers to visit?
For budget travellers, exploring Greece offers fantastic value. Free activities abound, like hiking the Samaria Gorge on Crete, exploring ancient ruins like those at Delphi (though entry fees apply), or wandering through charming towns like Nafplio. Many beaches are free to access, and delicious, affordable meals can be found at local tavernas, especially if you venture away from the main tourist areas. Ferries between islands can be surprisingly reasonable if booked in advance.
What are the best hostels in Greece?
Among the hostels in Greece, Caveland, Meteora Central Hostel and Crossroads are the most popular ones.
Which airports handle most of the traffic to and from Greece?
Athens International Airport (ATH) is the main gateway, handling the vast majority of international flights. However, other significant airports include Thessaloniki Airport (SKG) in northern Greece and Heraklion Airport (HER) on Crete, which serve as important hubs for regional and international travel.
What are the best hostels with a pool in Greece?

What are the best hostels with a jacuzzi in Greece?

How easy is it to navigate the roads in Greece?
Driving in Greece can be challenging, especially on smaller islands or in mountainous areas. Roads can be narrow, winding, and poorly signposted in some places. Driving in Athens itself can be particularly stressful due to heavy traffic. Public transport, including buses and ferries, is generally a more reliable and less stressful way to get around, especially for visitors.
What are the best hostels for families and kids in Greece?
The best hostels for families and kids in Greece are Caveland, City Circus Athens and Stay Rhodes Hostel & Bar.
How can travellers best respect local customs while visiting Greece?
Respectful behaviour in Greece includes dressing modestly when visiting churches or monasteries, learning a few basic Greek phrases (like 'kalimera' – good morning, and 'efharisto' – thank you), and being mindful of noise levels, particularly during siesta time in smaller towns and villages. It's also polite to avoid pointing with your index finger and to always be polite and respectful in your interactions with locals.
What are the best pet friendly hostels in Greece?
The best pet friendly hostels in Greece are The Holy Rock - Hostel At Meteora, Stay Rhodes Hostel & Bar and Intra Muros Hostel.
Which traditional festivals define the spirit of Greece?
Greece boasts many vibrant festivals. The most widely celebrated include Clean Monday (Kathara Deftera), marking the start of Lent with kite flying and festivities; Easter (Pascha), a deeply religious and joyous occasion; and various local saints' day celebrations throughout the year, often involving processions and feasts. Each region also has its own unique traditions and festivals.
What are the best hostels with parking in Greece?
Caveland, Meteora Central Hostel and Crossroads are the best hostels with parking in Greece.
What are the key emergency contacts for medical or safety concerns in Greece?
For medical emergencies, dial 166. For police, dial 100. For fire, dial 199. It's advisable to have the emergency numbers saved on your phone and to inform someone of your travel plans before setting off on any excursions.
What are the best areas to spend a week in Greece?
A week allows for a more in-depth exploration. The islands of Crete (exploring Chania, Rethymno, and Heraklion) or the Cyclades (Mykonos, Santorini, Naxos) offer diverse experiences. Alternatively, exploring mainland Greece, perhaps combining Athens with a trip to Delphi and Meteora, would be a memorable experience.
What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Greece?
For a short break, Athens offers ancient history, vibrant nightlife, and excellent museums. Alternatively, a weekend trip to Santorini offers stunning views and a romantic atmosphere, though it can be crowded. Nafplio, a charming town on the Peloponnese peninsula, offers a more relaxed experience with historical sites and beautiful scenery.
Are there specific regions known for great weather?
The Greek islands generally enjoy warm, sunny weather for much of the year. The Cyclades and Dodecanese islands are known for their hot, dry summers and mild winters. However, weather patterns can vary across the country, with mountainous areas experiencing cooler temperatures.
