This part of our guide to holidays in Greece covers the cuisine of the country…
Greece offers many different experiences, landscapes and activities. Famous for its dependable summer sunshine, Greece has many beautiful beaches and a long coastline with many inlets and islands in the Mediterranean, Ionian and Aegean Seas. But it is also noted for its historical sites, natural beauty and nightlife.
Greece is one of the world’s top 20 tourist destinations. This southern European country attracts more than 15 million visitors a year, 90% of which come from other parts of Europe (but increasingly, the proportion of visitors from other regions of the world has been growing).
The most popular destinations include the capital, Athens, and the islands, especially Crete, Rhodes and Corfu. Some areas are very tourist orientated, but people seeking a quieter experience can still find places free from mass tourism.
The vast majority of visitors arrive during tourism season, which is April through October, with the peak of the season being July through to August. Outside of this time, most of the country’s tourist infrastructure goes into hibernation, particularly on the islands.
While Athens and Thessalonki handle most scheduled international flights, during tourism season charter and low-budget flights from a range of European cities arrive daily at many islands and smaller mainland cities.
A valid passport is necessary to enter Greece. Citizens of some non-EU countries may also need to obtain a visa, but citizens of the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand can stay as long as 90 days without needing a visa.
The country’s rates of theft and violence against visitors are relatively low and travelers are neither required nor advised to have immunization vaccinations prior to entering Greece.

Are you familiar with the old saying that you can always make a little extra money but are unable to make more time? This is true for many people as the essence of their life is time and they cannot do what is needed to make more of it. As such, they will spend a great deal of money with the goal of acquiring their time back! This is why so many people will look towards chartered flights as they can definitely save time.
Some may have an inaccurate conception of chartered planes as they will think of a small plane that only provide a safe ride and a decent bird’s eye view out of the window. This is not entirely accurate as there is much more to the totality of chartered planes than just a simple concept. And, yes, more and more people realize chartering a plane is not just a new way of enjoying their luxury. It is also a great way a person can properly manage and maximize her/her time.
One aspect that need to be taken into consideration when looking at chartered flights is the ability to visit anywhere in the world. Additionally, when you opt to travel to your selected destination, you can leave at any time you wish. So, if you need to be in a particular destination anywhere in world and for highly important business reasons, you can do so without any hassles. You can easily reach your destination within hours and secure your deal.
There are many benefits to booking a chartered plane over a commercial flight. When you book a commercial flight, you will be limited to the procedures of the airline. That means you must check in your luggage, follow all rules associated with luggage, and, worst of all, you will be locked into the time elements set forth by the airline. In other words, you can’t pick when the flight leaves and with such a lengthy check in process, you may have to arrive at the airport several hours early. With a chartered flight, all of this aggravation can be completely avoided.
It is also important to point out that no major airline - no matter how big - will be able to accommodate all your needs in one flight. That means you will deal with layovers and transfers. When you book a chartered flight, it becomes possible to avoid such a situation on all your domestic flights.
What you need to think about s that the commercial airlines in the world tend to have access to roughly 500 airports around the globe. Take into account the fact that there are more than 13000 airports worldwide and you’ll see why traveling can be such a pain.
Additionally, there are a number of cumbersome regulations that are totally avoided when engaging in a chartered flight. And, best of all, these chartered flights do not sacrifice safety even in the absence of such regulations.
That is why it is recommended to sit back and consider available options when it comes to booking chartered flights. This will yield the results you are looking for.
