Greece is always a very very popular travel destination, especially in Autumn. I received countless messages whether I would currently recommend Greece, what the flight was like, what should be considered, etc. ... And that's why I want to share all the important information to help out with tips.
In Greece, in contrast to most other European countries, this is still quite relaxed during the Corona time.
You can shovel a few days free in the next few weeks and want to enjoy the sun and the sea again before the long winter?
Definitely, Greece is then a great choice!
TIPS AND IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR A TRIP TO GREECE IN AUTUMN 2020
1. when it comes to booking for a good feeling, I would always recommend paying attention to a cancellation option or at least a rebooking option. Most airlines currently offer flexible rebooking options for all tariffs and most hotel booking portals such as Booking offer extremely short-term cancellation options at almost all hotels.
And the following applies to package tours: book with a well-known provider that offers security!
Things to do in Crete
The tiny island of Spinalonga is so close to Crete and easily can be reached by a little boat over to the island. Perched in the north-east of Crete (within the Gulf of Elounda), it’s one little spot to explore some of the Venetian histories of the island.
It’s a tiny little place that has had a pretty turbulent past, with the historic Arab raids, Venetian conquering, Ottoman occupation, all before being turned it into a leper colony. Thankfully, the island is much more peaceful today.
Get one of the small boats that leave Elounda every 30 minutes,
the tiny little cover of Seitan Limania is a great spot to chill out.
A real spot to relax in that stunning Aegean Sea
Love of Aegean Food
I can never say no to the Seafood Aegean Sea.
The fish art and the grilled fishes served with Olive Oil and especially served with salty wine leaves.
If you are a food lover then make sure you try some of the tasty Cretan Cheeses, Kalitsounia (a proper cheesy delight) and Dakos which is my favourite (made from chunks of rusk, ripe tomatoes, sheep’s cheese and lashings of Greek olive oil).
See the views of Balos Lagoon
For Hikers, there is One of the best hiking routes in Crete has to be around Balos Lagoon.
Well, for views at least.
My tip for you arrive pretty early in the morning to avoid the crowds and the mercury that will inevitably be rising around midday.
You can also take a small little boat from Kastelli to Balos.
It really is one of the gorgeous things to do in Crete is one of the best views, head onto the Balos Beach Trail.
Visit the oldest City of Europe
The Minoan palace in Knossos is the biggest attraction in Crete. Knossos Palace is the biggest Bronze Age site across all of the island and is often referred to as Europe’s oldest city.
It is located on the Kephala Hill approx. 5-6 km south of Heraklion.
The surrounding landscape is filled with olive groves and vineyards.
Knossos was the most impressive and luxurious building in Europe and the largest of the four Minoan palaces in Crete.
You will have to fork out about €15 (approximately) for entry but it’s well worth the adventure when you’re on the island.
Look out for the stunning frescoes and amazing Throne Room too.
I hope you enjoy your time in Greece and I love to hear your stories.
