Greece, a country of orange orchards and soft sun, receives tourists on its territory throughout the year. Of course, most often tourists come during warm seasons, because many of them dream of combining business with pleasure: to explore the cultural and architectural wealth of Greece and relax on the beaches, sorting through small pebbles and enjoying pleasant Greek music. Bus tours to Greece will help you get to know this country, feel its culture and get an unforgettable experience that you will definitely want to refresh next year.
All Greece by bus
A bus tour will give you the opportunity to visit as many spectacular or culturally significant places as possible at a very small cost. Traveling by bus is one of the most economical. Some tourists believe that it is inconvenient to be on the bus for most of the journey, but this is perhaps the only drawback of this type of travel.
Of course, the cost of such a tour will vary depending on how rich its excursion program is and how long it is. Weekly tours are very popular - during this time the traveler does not have time to get tired of the new country and inspects those sights that are considered the most popular. In Greece, the most famous tourist "magnets" are:
- Acropolis (Athens).
- Monastery of Agia Triada (Meteora).
- Temple of Olympian Zeus (Athens).
- Palace of Knossos (Heraklion).
- Temple of Niki Apteros (Athens).
- Spinalonga (Elounda).
- Erechtheion (Athens).
Most travel agencies offer to visit these attractions, but the program can still vary greatly.
Traveler's memo
It is important to know what is included in the direct cost of the tour, and what you will have to pay extra for on the spot. Most often, the total cost of the trip includes a bus transfer, hotels (2-3 *), meals (usually only breakfasts), as well as an approved part of the excursion program. The tourist must pay separately the fuel surcharge (approximately 20 euros), medical insurance, a visa to enter the territory of Greece, as well as additional excursions that are added at the request of tourists during the trip. The tour operator must warn his client about all these costs in advance.
Many travel agencies offer bus tours to Greece, which also involve visits to several other countries. For example, the Bulgaria - Greece tour is very popular, and some operators also offer to call in Romania. On average, the cost of a bus tour in Greece varies between 750-1000 euros, excluding additional costs.
