Greece and its islands are considered one of the most beautiful destinations on the planet, a dreamy place that gets the value to visit at least once in life
From tons of history and ancient relics to paradise places for a holiday dream, Greece can offer all kinds of taste experiences and unique places to visit, without forgetting wide Mediterranean gastronomy.
In such a valuable place as a holiday destination, it is normal to think you will need to spend a lot of money to enjoy your trip; but it doesn’t need to be like this. Remember that planning a budget to pay in cash can save you from changing your currencies at the last minute and make you spend your cash more conscientiously. Furthermore, even if you use the same currency used in Greece (the euro), paying with a card can carry you unexpected taxes for making transactions abroad.
