Tips for island hopping in Greece young & broke 🏝️

How to go island hopping in Greece when you are young & broke (part 1)🇬🇷

📍Visit during shoulder season

Shoulder season in Greece is from late April to early June and September to early October. Prices for accommodation are significantly lower than in peak season (summer). Ferry fares can also be lower and there are fewer crowds.

📍Choose lesser-known islands

The most popular islands like Santorini and Mykonos can be very expensive. Choose some more budget-friendly ones like Naxos, Paros, Milos, Crete, Syros, or Tinos.

📍How to book ferries

Booking tickets early can help you save money. Slower ferries are also usually cheaper than high-speed ferries. Some ferry companies also offer island hopping passes for different routes, which can help you save money if you are visiting several islands.

📍Eat at local spots

Avoid eating at restaurants close to the most popular tourist spots and walk at least a few blocks away before looking for a place to eat. Eat street food for some lunches, especially gyros and souvlaki are great options for budget travelers. You should also take advantage of local supermarkets for some meals and snacks.
