Seven Things to Know about Greece before Traveling

​Greece is undoubtedly one of the most important tourist destinations in the world. Before you continue with our portal and blog to choose a destination for your vacations, take some time to learn seven very important things about Greece:

1) Greece is one of the countries in the world that faced the pandemic of covid-19 in a very good way, with - in relation to its population - not too many cases and victims. However, when you arrive in the country, please respect all safety rules that will be indicated to you. We remain safe for ourselves and our loved ones and at the same time we protect the inhabitants of the destinations who have, in most cases, observed with care and patience the rules of the State in this great global crisis.

2) Greece is one of the safest countries in the world for holidays. However, this does not mean that when we arrive in Greece we forget the safety rules that we have learned in our lives. We do not act naively, we always have our eyes open.

3) In Greece, tipping has no rules and is not mandatory. You can give an amount that you think that the service you received is worth. And try to be always polite with the hard working staff.

4) Reservations for Greece must be made early in order to achieve good prices. The country in normal conditions receives more than 21 million tourists a year, so the idea that something will be found at the last minute has no basis and will lead to a big increase in your budget.

5) Greece has a unique local cuisine. Don't just settle for choriatiki salad, gyros and moussaka. The Greek list is endless. Increase your budget a bit for the special Greek flavors, local recipes and traditional products and you will not regret it!

6) Greece is not only for the summer. It has beautiful mountains, rivers and lakes for autumn and spring, very organized ski resorts for the winter, and unique customs and celebrations at Christmas, Easter and Halloween.

7) Get plenty of sunscreen with you and don't think about not using it for a minute. Use some before leaving the hotel in the morning, on the beach and on the street until nightfall. The natural tan is of course wonderful but the sun in Greece is not joking. You could do some solarium in your country first and come to Greece to complete your tan safely. The sunrays may cause skin cancer if you don't know how to enjoy them.
