Greece Accommodation Guide: Tips for Choosing the Right Place to Stay for Your Travel Style

Prepare for your trip to Greece, starting with accommodations!

In this chapter, we'll show you how to find accommodation in Greece.

Depending on your travel destination and duration, you'll need to consider a variety of accommodation options. Based on my local experience, I'll share some tips for efficiently choosing accommodations in Greece.

If you're a long-term traveler, I recommend Airbnb.

If you are planning a long-term trip of more than ten days, I recommend using Airbnb.

While eating out is expensive in Greece, supermarket groceries are considerably cheaper than in Korea or other European countries. If you enjoy cooking or are curious about Greek ingredients, staying at an Airbnb and shopping at the supermarket is a great way to enjoy a hearty meal. Meats like beef and pork are particularly affordable, allowing you to enjoy a variety of meat dishes to your heart's content.

However, Airbnb does have some drawbacks. Since Greece often uses solar power to heat water, you'll need to wait 10 to 20 minutes before showering to make sure the hot water is turned on.

Also, in winter, unlike in our country where there are no ondol or boilers, the indoor space can feel quite cold, so it is important to pack plenty of clothes to ensure a good night's sleep.

Choosing a Place to Stay in the Heart of Greece

In major cities like Athens and Thessaloniki, you'll find a wide variety of accommodation options, from budget-friendly tourist hotels to luxury hotels and Airbnbs with a variety of themes.

One thing to note is that currently, Korean guesthouses are only found in Athens, Greece. If you're planning a budget trip, it's a good idea to book accommodations in other cities in advance.

One more thing: most city center accommodations, including those in Athens, don't have elevators. Even if they do, they're often old and cramped, so if you have a lot of luggage, I recommend booking a room on the lowest floor possible.

Accommodation in the Greek islands and countryside

Since the purpose of most trips to island areas is likely to be vacation, I recommend hotels or resort-style accommodations near the beach.

While there are inexpensive guesthouses run by locals, you may be disappointed by the poor facilities and environment. If you're looking for a sentimental atmosphere at a reasonable price, Airbnb is the way to go.

The situation in rural areas of the Greek interior is similar to that of the islands.

This area boasts many traditional Greek houses, and you can book unique and cozy ones through Airbnb. You'll create special memories you won't find anywhere else.
