• The Best Time for All Inclusive Holidays to Greece and The Greek Islands
  

The best time to visit Greece and the Greek Islands for a stress-free all-inclusive holiday is between late May and early September. The perfect school holidays for all-inclusive holidays to Greece are:

• The May/ June half-term in the UK or the Summer school holidays in the US: This is probably the best time to explore Greece and The Greek Island mainly because there are fewer tourists and the weather is absolutely beautiful for exploring the ancient sites, swimming at the beach and having a nice time.

• Consider going on a tour during your all-inclusive holiday.

Greek Tours are a must! The Greek tour guide all have a degree in Greek history (it is the law that they must have it) so if you are a lover of history and culture, you will love a Greek tour. The tours can be private, in groups, combined to see 3 locations or just a location. For the Greek Islands like Santorini, you will need to book your tour in advance however in Knossos, you can get a tour without booking in advance. The tours are varied, you can go for a food tour in Athens, a walking tour in Athens, an island hopping tour for Islands in the same groups or complexes.

• Budget

All-inclusive holidays offer opportunities for stress-free holidays, which means that at the time of booking, you would have paid for your flight, accommodation, feeding, and most drinks. Your day tours and sight-seeing experiences are usually not included in an all-inclusive package. The complete budget for an all-inclusive holiday to Greece will depend on these factors:

•  The time of the year you wish to visit. (note that some Islands are more expensive in the Summer due to demand)
• Where you wish to stay. (hotel or apartment)
• The tours and experiences you wish to have.
