How to plan a greece trip from india | 2024, everything you need to know on planning a greece trip from india, including major destinations, weather, flights from india, visa, accommodation, cost etc., introduction to how to plan a greece trip from india..

Greece is one country you could fall in love with over and over again. Beautiful coastlines, majestic monuments, fantastic beaches and truly warm and welcoming people. Greece is a beauty. 

Although Greece is part of Europe, it stands out from other typical European countries due to it's rich culture, history and location.

Planning a Greece Trip is a topic that needs to be talked about separately. It is not something to be clubbed with a typical European itinerary.

FAQ: So How do I go to Greece from India?

FYI. You do not need to buy Greece Tour packages to do your trip. You can plan an entire Trip to Greece from India yourself.

In this guide, we'll show you how. The following are covered.

1) Where is Greece Located

2) places to visit in greece, 3) best months to visit greece, 4) visa requirements for greece, 5) flights to greece from india, 6) where to stay in greece, 7) local travel within greece, 8) food to eat in greece, 9) things to do in greece, 10) currency and money matters including cost of trip to greece from india, 11) travel adapter for greece trip, 12) other aspects such as language, safety, people etc., 1) where is greece located.

Well, you should have a fair idea of the location before your Greece Trip.

To many of us, Greece seems like a far-off destination in some corner of the world. But actually, it's not.

It's closer to India than many of the popular European destinations such as London, Paris, Barcelona etc.

Greece is a typical Mediterranean country. The other countries near Greece are  Italy and Turkey.

It is flanked on almost all sides by the waters of the Aegian, Ionian, and the Mediterranean seas. And that is where the beauty of Greece lies.

FAQ: What country to pair with Greece?

Option 1 : You could opt to spend a day or two in other European centers (Paris, Amsterdam. Rome etc.) that your Indian flight is transiting through.

Your schengen visa will help you here.

Option 2: You can spend a few days in turkey and they fly to Greece from there. However, now you need to apply for Visas for both Turkey and Greece

2) Places to visit in Greece

That Athens is the capital is well known. It is a beautiful well laid old European city. However, what Greece is really popular for is it's Islands.

The sunsets of Santorini   and the party scenes of Mykonos are particularly enticing to honeymoon couples in India.

But that is not all Greece has to offer.

Here is a tourism map of Greece (from Wikipedia) depicting the various areas of the Country.

See the island groups down south? Many of them are destinations by themselves

One could spend days together in islands such as Crete, Corfu, Chania, and Rhodes and still not get enough of them The Island of Delphi is famous for its Archaeological sites. 

Same goes for Thessaloniki in the north, which holds an important place in ancient history. Greece is a beauty to which one cannot do justice in a single visit.

FAQ: Is 7 days enough for Greece?

Greece is vast when it comes to diversity and experiences. Hence it totally depends on you.

However, if you wish to cover just Athens, Santorini, and Mykonos like most India Travellers, you need 7-8 days

It is outside the scope of this article to talk about each and every destination in Greece. You should custom design your Greece Trip based on the stuff you are interested in.

In this article, we will stick to the basics of travel planning such as visa, flights, food, accommodation etc .

3) Best Months to Visit Greece

Go in summers is a good thumb-rule to have when visiting Europe. Summers in Europe are warm enough, pleasant, lively and teeming with activity.

Considering that Greece is an Island destination, it is all the more important to visit in summers when the waters are warm enough to wade into. Even in early spring, when the land temperatures are pleasant, the waters can be cold.

If you want that warm sunny beach holiday, you better visit once summer has set in. Besides, there is nothing much to do in Greece in the winters anyway.

Here is a temperature chart of Greece for your reference.

FAQ: So which month is best to visit Greece?

The conclusion is clear. The good times start in May and extend all the way up to October .

Visit in early summer (May) or later summer (Oct). Peak summers are usually crowded with european tourists,

FYI we advise you not to visit Greece in winter.  Most places will be shutdown especially on the islands during winter.

4) Greece Visa Requirements

Faq: do you need a visa to visit greece.

Greece is party to the Schengen Agreement. All Indian Passport Holders need a valid Schengen Visa (common to 26 countries in Europe) to visit Greece.

While Greece is geographically closer to India compared to other popular European destinations such as Paris, London, Amsterdam etc, connectivity is a bit of a problem. 

The flight time (excluding transit) from Indian cities to Athens is about 8-9 Hrs

There are no direct flights from India to Greece. There are budget Airlines such as Egyptian Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Indigo etc that connect to Athens through Turkey and Egypt (the shortest route). Most of these are Mumbai and Delhi to Greece Flights.

Here is a sample of the flight fares from May 2024

Most of the non-budget reputable Airlines from India connect through their hubs in West, and Central Europe. E.g. Lufthansa flies via Frankfurt. This is a longer route considering that Greece is located in south-eastern Europe.

if you intend to take any of these non-budget airlines, you may want to spend a day or two in one of these European cities such as Amsterdam, Paris or Brussels. You are connecting through them anyway. You can easily find local flights to Athens from these popular hubs (probably cheap budget airlines too).

The incremental costs and not much, and you won't need a separate visa considering you already have the Schengen Visa. You get to add another destination to your trip without much hassle and cost.

How to book flights for your Greece Trip

Go to Skyscanner  and input your destination and dates and it will show you the cheapest flight.

However, skyscanner may not be a comprehensive source of all available flights. 

Pro Tip: Go to Airport Website of the neatest metro city (e.g. Mumbai Airport Site) and you may find flights that are generally not available on aggregator sites such as MMT or skyscanner.

Some of these Airlines may very well have connections to your destination of choice.

If you plan to fly budget Airlines such as Egyptian Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Indigo etc, you can directly head to the website of the respective airline and make the booking. The return journey should cost around Rs. 65,000.

If you plan to book through other popular airlines with hubs in Europe, the fares could be higher depending on the day of travel.

Book return tickets from a popular European city first. This should cost around Rs. 50,000. You can then book separate tickets from this city to Athens through cheap budget airlines at competitive rates.

6) Where to stay in Greece

Like in any other European city, you can find all kinds of accommodation in Athens . Everything from Airbnb to Five Star hotels are available.

However, the story is different in island destinations. Many of these small islands have limited accommodation options . Popular islands such as Santorini and Mykonos charge higher rates especially if staying at scenic locations.

Other not-so popular destinations such as Milos, Paros etc may not have too many options to choose from.

Here are the details of some decent accommodation options available in various places in Greece.

In Athens, you can find a decent airbnb accommodation for Rs 3,500 per night for a double room. 

Airbnb costs from June 2024 given below

However, the rates are quite higher in places such as Santorini and Mykonos as shown below for June 2024

If you are travelling as a group of 4 or more people, we highly recommend you consider staying at an Airbnb. Rent one of those Greek Cycladic houses.

Imagine having an entire Greek house all to yourself, with a kitchen to cook, and a living room to hangout at. 

Those who have been to Europe already know that public transport is pretty well developed there. This applies for Greece too. Even for the popular Islands such as Santorini.

Athens has metro lines, buses and lot of taxis. Besides it is a beautiful city to explore walking. Lot of parks and historical monuments and structures around every corner.

All the main centers of Santorini are well connected by buses, and they are not too expensive.

If you are travelling to other not-so popular islands such as Paros, Naxos etc, local transport could be a bit difficult . Public transport many not be available easily, and taxis would be expensive.

Most travelers hire cars or bikes when travelling to such places. In fact you can  even travel from one island to another by transporting your car/ bike on the ferry. This is a common practice among travelers.

Please note that the Greeks drive on the right side of the road. If you do not have experience with this, you would need some time getting used to it

We suggest that your research in advance regarding the public transport infrastructure available on each island before travelling. If you wish to travel to not-so touristy islands, be prepared to rent a car/ bike.

To summarize here are your options when in comes to local travel:

Between Islands: Flights and Ferries

• Lot of budget airlines available. However, the seats get filled early during peak season.
• There are 2 kinds of ferries. Fast and Slow.
• Slow ferries are large ships with restaurants, bars etc. They are more stable in the sea but take more time.  If you rent a car or bike, you can even transport these on the large ferries as you move from Island to Island.
• Fast ferries are smaller ships that move faster. However, they can be quite unsteady if the seas get rough.
• You can choose to take a flight from athens to Santorini and return by Ferry for the experience.

Within the City/Islands

• Taxis are available in plenty and could be expensive.
• Metro line is present in Athens.
• In other cities, you would have to rely on buses or walk.
• Popular Islands such as Santorini have bus services between popular spots.

8) Food in Greece

Mediterranean food is mouth watering. If stuff such as Souvlaki, Gyro, Pita bread and hummus/ other dips, Mediterranean salads seasoned with fresh olive oil, Greek desserts etc sound enticing to you, you are going to have a hell of a good time in Greece.

The food is delicious and you have plenty of options from street food to five star restaurants.

They are not that expensive to compared to other European cities. A good meal for 2 should cost about 15 Euros. A decent snack can be done at 5 euros a piece.

The icing on the cake is that they are pretty healthy too.

FAQ: What food is Greece know for?

There are 2 very popular Greek dishes that are quite filling, cheap and are available every where:

1. The Gyro: Pita bread filled with meat, veggies and sauces (similar to the Shawarma. It usually costs 2.5 to 3 euros.

2. The  Tzatziki: Cucumber salad served with Pita Bread. A very tasty appetizer. Costs around the same as the Gyro.

These 2 could be your go-to dishes in Greece.

What about Vegetarian food?

All the above mentioned dishes are usually available in vegetarian too. However, you may not find too many variations of them to choose from.

What about Indian Food?

A bit of bad news here. It is not easy to find an Indian restaurant in Greece. Even in Athens, you would have to look hard to find one.

However, there are options for other cuisines such as Asian, Italian, Continental etc.

As mentioned above, there is no shortage of places to visit in Greece.

If you are travelling to Greece, you are most likely going to make a stop over at Athens. Athens is a beautiful European city with a lot of history and culture to explore.

Here are some things to do in Athens:

• Take a walking tour of the city and explore it. There are historical structures around every corner
• Visit the Pantheon and the Acropolis of Athens
• Visit the market and grab some street food.
• These are just a couple of things you could do. Athens is a big city with a lot more to explore.

If you are travelling to the Islands, each of the Islands are famous for specific activities.

But either way, you can always laze around on the beach sipping drinks and enjoying good food.

FAQ: Is Mykonos of Santorini better?

Santorini is famous for it's beautiful sunsets and Mykonos for its party scene. Where you go depends on your interest.

10) Currency and Cost of Greece Trip from India

Faq: what currency is used in greece.

The official currency of Greece is the Euro

1 Euro = approx. Rs. 89

Most places accept International Credit Cards . So as long as you have one, you are safe.

Your next best option would be to carry USD from India and then exchange it for Euros once you land in Greece. Exchange centers are plenty in most prominent places.

ATMs too are available everywhere.

For a detailed understanding to carry and spend money abroad, read our article on the same.

FAQ: How much money is required to go to Greece? Is Greece expesive for India Tourists?

Well Greece being a European country is on the expensive side compared to Asia.

However, it is cheaper than many other western european destinations such as France, Italy, and Swizerland.

The numbeo cost of living index  compares the expenses of cities worldwide (shown below)

As shown above, cost of living in Athens is lower than Abu dhabi, Rome, and Tolyo  etc but higher than Barcelona.

Here is a list of common items of purchase, and the respective prices of each in Athens (source numbeo.com  in Indian Rupees)

FAQ: So what is the cost of a Greece Trip from India for a couple?

This is for a 10 day Trip from Chennai to Athens, Santorini and Mykonos. It includes all expenses including flights, visa, food, accommodation, local travel etc.

Flights (Chennai to Athens return and Athens to Santorini): Rs 1,03,129

Accommodation (Airbnb): Rs. 60,000

Food and Drinks: Rs 45,000

Local Travel (Ferry, bus, taxi etc): Rs. 26,000

Visa: Rs. 15,000

Total expenses for 2 people for 8 days: Rs. 2,49,129

We have considered the bare minimum expenses above. Pls add expenses based on the type of trip you plan to undertake (e.g. type of hotel you plan to stay in, activities planned etc.)

Smooth Travels!

A Towel made just for Travellers

No more packing wet and bulky towels that take forever to dry, and waste luggage space.

Hey Traveller, Do you also make the mistake of packing your regular bath towels for your trips?

What do you do when it's time to checkout, and your towel hasn't dried yet, pack that soggy towel in a plastic cover, and stink up your entire bag, or how about when the bulky turkey towel takes up all the space in your bag, now you struggle to fit in all your other stuff. plus your bag is now heavy and bulky right.

Truth be told, the Towels we use everyday are not at all suited for Travel

Gamchas/ thin cotton towels don't absorb well, and take forever to dry, bulky terry towels absorb well but take longer to dry. plus they waste baggage space..

Switch to the Travel Towel Instead

No more packing wet towels, no more waiting for your towel to dry, no more packing bulky turkey towels that waste luggage space, loved by thousands of travellers.

Best Time to Visit Greece

Off-season (november to february).

Mild temperature and sometimes rain will be in majority in North and mountain regions. Tourism hit a rock-bottom as people stopped traveling causing a reduction in the number of people visiting the attractions and hotels being left with lower occupancy rates. Perfect for taking a trip around crowded museums and cultural monuments. Book your Greece holiday package from India during this season will ensure highest discounts and the best deals.

Shoulder Season (March to May, September to October) 

Enjoy the beautiful scenery of colorful gardens. Spring ushers in the show of colorful flowers, while fall has comfortable days with mild nights. Tourism of medium traffic, low-congestion, and cheap tickets compared to the high season. Great for excursions such as walking in the woods, sightseeing, and visiting ruins. Book your Greece tour packages from India with Pick Your Trail to avail the best deals.

Peak Season (June to August)

Very dry and hot summer with air temperatures often reaching 30°C or higher. Coastal and insular areas have a higher number of warm and sunny hours as well as warm sea temperatures. More crowds, specifically in major destinations such as Athens, Santorini, and Mykonos, during this period. The regular hotels, restaurants and beaches are competitive and prices are at their highest. Great for beaches and vacations, water sports, island hopping, and cultural events. The price for Greece travel packages might be on the higher end due to excess demand.

How to Reach Greece from India

The most convenient and best way to visit Greece from India is by air travel. Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru are the most prominent international Indian airport from where direct flights fly to Greece. The scheduled flights are through several airlines, most popularly Air India, Emirates, Qatar Airways, Etihad Airways.

Flight duration: It takes approximately 8 to 12 hours for your flight time, based on the departure city and the airline picked by you for the journey. If there is no direct flight from your city, you may choose stopover flights with stops in cities like Dubai, Doha, or Istanbul. This could take more time but is really economical.

Cruise: Another, perhaps, not so popular option is traveling by cruise ship. Some cruise companies even have tours, and Greece is included in their program, so you can make an excellent combination and visit the country overland with a watery trip. It, of course, takes much more time and needs preparation compared to a flight.

How to Move Around in Greece?

Public Transportation: Greece has a wide bus network of (KTEL) buses that connects major cities to towns and villages. Athens is equipped with a modern metro railway and train lines that link cities such as Thessaloniki and Patras. Taxis: Given that in urban centers it is accessible, taxis are useful for short journeys or overnight trips. Use only licensed taxis with a meter to rule out the possibility of overcharging. Rental Cars: Hiring a car for the tour of Greece is very popular, since it allows you to enjoy the freedom of choosing an alternative, non-standard route. Before renting a car you must make sure you that you have a valid license and a clear idea of the traffic rules in Greece. Ferries: The ferries connect Piraeus port with islands like Santorini and Mykonos. Book your ferry tickets in advance, even during peak seasons. Domestic Flights: For longer distances and island-hopping, domestic flights can also be taken between Athens and the main islands. Aegean Airlines and Olympic Air are the main carriers, making flights shorter in duration.

Things to Know Before Visiting Greece

Currency: Greece adopts the Euro (EUR) as it’s official currency. Credit cards are common but it could be useful to carry some cash for small proprietors and isolated spots. Language: Greek is the official language, but English is indeed spoken in the touristic places. Tipping: However not as distinguished as in some countries, a 5-10% tip is appreciative if the service was good. Customs: Greeks are welcoming, and greet you with a handshake; one should also respect cultural traditions, such as covering shoulders at sacred places. Transportation: Make a plan in advance for island hopping on your trip to Greece; ferries have timetables for seasons, sometimes they may be delayed due to bad weather.
