Best Time to Visit Greece
The ideal time for a luxury escape to Greece is during the shoulder seasons of late spring (May to June) and early autumn (September to early October). During these months, the weather is pleasantly warm, the crowds are manageable, and the service at high-end establishments is at its peak. Summer (July and August) is vibrant but can be extremely hot and crowded, while winter sees many island resorts close for the season.
Currency & Money
Greece uses the Euro (€). Credit cards are widely accepted in luxury hotels, fine dining restaurants, and high-end boutiques. However, it is always advisable to carry some cash for smaller purchases or tipping. Tipping is customary in Greece; for excellent service in restaurants, a tip of 5-10% is appreciated, and rounding up taxi fares is standard practice.
Getting Around Greece
To maximize your 4-day itinerary, domestic flights between Athens and the islands are highly recommended over ferries, as they save significant time. Within Athens, private chauffeured cars are the most comfortable way to navigate the city. On the islands like Santorini, renting a private car or utilizing pre-booked luxury transfers is the most efficient way to travel between Oia, Fira, and the beaches.
