Hi All,
My girlfriend has always wanted to visit Greece, and I am planning to take her there for her 25th birthday. I'm not sure which places to visit and would appreciate recommendations. I am a 25-year-old male, and we are from India, currently staying in the UK. Our budget is £600 each. I think we can have a good 4 day 3 night stay in this amount (can increase a bit if necessary)
She is not a big fan of museums or historical sites, and she can only tolerate the beach for one day. She loves visiting cities, exploring markets, and trying authentic local food.
I want to plan the holiday to include one day at the beach and the rest for city exploration. Also, I'm not sure whether it's better to book through package holidays or individually for flights and accommodation.
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thank you!
If you dont care about going to the beach and want to explore cities sounds like Athens might be your thing. By far the biggest city and tons of things to see, food is good and not particularly targeted for tourists if you go beyond the touristy bits, so you'll find places to eat like a local. South of Athens has beaches easily accessible by bus or tram even, so that box is filled as well. Loads of shops, big flea market to explore and prices in most places are quite good so your budget sounds plenty depending on whether or not you can find reasonably priced flight tickets.
