Greece is a land of myths and legends, bright sun and gentle sea. Tourism in this country is well developed, and there are a lot of hotels ready to receive guests. How to choose a hotel in Greece so as not to make a mistake and have a great rest?
Star rating of hotels in Greece
The usual stars in Greece are not assigned to hotels, but letters are used, that is, the letter system. The correspondence between letters and stars can be described as follows: De Luxe is a five-star hotel, A is a four-star hotel, B is a three-star hotel, C and D are two-star and one-star hotels. Luxurious villas and luxury apartments are not assigned letters.
For lovers of quiet rest, guesthouses, that is, small houses for 2-4 people, are perfect. Young people are more likely to like hostels or hostels where you can live with a cheerful company. There are not too many of them in Greece, but you can find them if you wish. It is worth noting that such hostels do not function in winter. In addition, they have a so-called curfew - the entrance to the hostel is closed at night.
If finances are tight, you can choose a camping. Greek campsites are open from April to October. Camping prices are very low and will suit students and those looking to save money.
Those who do not like hotels can be advised to rent an apartment in Greece. For example, garconiers or studio apartments are extremely popular with tourists. These apartments are equipped with everything you need and are located in a quiet secluded area of Greece.
What to look for when choosing a hotel
Since Greece is a country with a hot climate, it is worth choosing an air-conditioned room. Before booking a room, it is recommended to carefully read the description of the hotel on the official website - usually the information provided is enough to make the right choice.
All hotels offer different services for their guests. This includes sports events, animation, concerts. For example, De Luxe and Class A hotels hold "Greek evenings" once a week, to which famous artists are invited with a folklore program.
Food in hotels in Greece
Here are possible such well-known options as half board (breakfast and dinner), full board (three meals a day) or "all inclusive" (three meals a day with alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks). Greece is not a cheap country, so it is better to choose food in a hotel.
For those who want to get acquainted with Greek cuisine and culinary traditions, there is a wide network of cafes and restaurants, where you can always taste traditional Greek dishes.
