If we talk about the mainland of Greece, then the resorts of Glyfada and Vouliagmeni are suitable for young people; you rarely meet people over thirty at these resorts. Spectacular night parties in coastal bars and restaurants take place almost every night.
Youth holidays in Greece where to go and where not.
Places where the rest will be wonderful for young people, we discussed above, but where should you not go? Quite boring in terms of parties is the town, it is very beautiful here, but too calm for young people. Another place with enough relaxing holiday can be called the island of Corfu. There are no big and noisy parties here, and the main contingent are people who have run away from work and fuss.
The bright, resort life of Greece attracts many young people. What attracts them? The sun, the sea, new acquaintances, impressions, the opportunity to engage in active sports, rest from problems. Everyone answers this question in their own way at the moment when they choose the place of their future vacation. We will also try to answer it so that you can quickly decide.
Sea sunbeach…
Those who like to bask under the rays of a hot luminary will find it most difficult to choose. Because Greece has it all and in huge quantities. We need some more determining factors to understand - where to go:
- amount of money;
- pastime in addition to the beach (hotel, excursions, shopping, sports, nightlife, Orthodox shrines);
- type of recreation - active, passive;
- type of beach - sand, pebbles.
Economic vacation
Young people never have enough money. To save money, you can be advised to choose hotels 2-3 * or without stars at all, for example, hostels. This is true for those who will return to the room only to spend the night in order to gain strength. Most of these hotels offer breakfast included in the price. If you do not plan to sit in one place, you can rent a bike - it will be cheaper. However, Greece is very well developed transport connection both within the same region (bus) and between the mainland and the islands (ferry).
Before making a purchase, try to calculate the difference between ready "batch" tour and self-booked. Recall what is included in the cost of the latter and how to save on it:
- visa processing - savings will not work, the fee is fixed;
- flight - you can look for promotions from airlines when the ticket is sold much cheaper;
- transport is the most economical public;
- hotel - choose the cheapest option you want;
- food - buy food in supermarkets or in the simplest cafes. In Greece, huge portions - one is enough for two.
Leisure
It all depends on what you understand by this. Those who love diving will love the islands Santorini, Crete And Corfu. Almost on every major resort has its own diving center. Windsurfers love West Coast Crete, and other islands can please with a good wind. Climbers will try to climb Mount Olympus. In Greece there are smaller mountains - for beginners. Those who are not yet ready to storm the peaks will take walks in the mountains and hills, in the shade of trees. Most coastal hotels offer water sports on the beach - parasailing, jet skiing, banana boating, trampolining and much more.
If leisure for you, these are trips to nearby attractions and other beaches, then you need to rent any transport. Keep in mind that the drivers here are not very gentlemanly. Despite the fact that this is the European Union.
Greece has a huge number of islands. Each of them is unique. You can visit several during one trip. Not just to see, but to stay on each with 1-2 nights to feel the flavor. You can book a hotel for the night in advance - via the Internet.
If you love history, then you are on the mainland. Athens, Olympia, Delphi, Mycenae, Thessaloniki and - antiquities here at every step.
Orthodox believers will find interesting places V meteora, on Patmos, Crete, Corfu, V Patrach, on the peninsula Athos.
lovers organized trips can buy a whole tour from the company to different cities and sights of Greece. On site, you can also go on a tour. They are usually sold hotel guides. There are many guides on the Internet who offer their services to visitors. You can agree with them in advance.
Beaches
Most of north coast Crete is famous for its sandy beaches. In general, the islands of Crete and Rhodes are considered the most popular among young people, due to their relaxed atmosphere and economy. There are few sandy beaches on Rhodes, mostly rocky. The island of Thassos will delight you with clean beaches, cool sea and lack of people. Santorini has not only pretty white houses, beautiful sunsets, but also unusual dark-colored beaches. The second volcanic island - Milos, will surprise you with a variety of colors and an unusual combination of hot sulfurous springs and cold sea water. Here you can also try food cooked in the heat of the volcano.
On Zakynthos, you can feel like a pioneer by rafting to the closed beach of Navagio, where a discarded ship lies. Corfu also offers a variety of beaches to suit all tastes.
The prong of the peninsula of Chalkidiki - Kassandra, as well as Pieria and the west of the Peloponnese are mostly filled with sandy beaches. The island of Kos also has several similar places.
Mykonos attracts with nightlife and several cozy bays with clean sand.
Nightlife
There are also clubs, bars, discos in Greece. They work all night until 5-6 in the morning. Athens is the main center of nightlife. If you want to combine it with separation from civilization and proximity to the sea, then on the island of Mykonos you will find everything you need. But only after 11pm. It is considered the “night capital” of the country, and representatives of sexual minorities also gather here. Be careful if this bothers you.
On Rhodes - the village of Faliraki and the city of Lindos. On the north coast of Crete, not only excellent sandy beaches but also an active nightlife. The towns of Hersonissos and Malia turn into pure fun at night. Skiates Island also boasts good entertainment. It is not yet very popular with Russians, more with Europeans and the Greeks themselves.
shopping
