Why should you choose excursion tours to Greece offered by the travel operator Belturist?

What benefits does a client receive by deciding to entrust the organization of a holiday in Greece to Belturist specialists?

Perhaps the most popular question when traveling is “How to get to this or that place?” Therefore, we decided to describe public transport Greece, so that you can at least have a general idea of ​​how to get there.

Let us immediately note that Greece has a well-developed transport network: intercity communication is carried out by buses, ferries and trains; urban public transport is represented by trams, trolleybuses, buses, electric trains, and in Athens there is also a metro. Of course, you can find a taxi everywhere, or rent a car in advance.

City public transport.

Typically, ground public transport in Greek cities is represented by buses, and in the capital also by trolleybuses, trams, by commuter train and metro. Buses and trolleybuses in large cities are mostly comfortable and equipped with air conditioning, while in rural areas there are also “museum exhibits”.

Tickets for public transport in cities are usually purchased at newsstands, resort areas(on the islands) can also be purchased from the driver or conductor. Costs vary greatly depending on location and length of trip. For example, the cost of travel in Athens is 1.4 Euro (for 90 minutes). There are also tourist passes, but not everywhere. When boarding, tickets must be validated - the fines are quite significant.

By the way, stops in Greece are made “on demand”. If you are standing at a bus stop and see a bus, you need to raise your hand, otherwise it will pass by. Likewise, when disembarking, you need to signal the driver. If you don’t know where to get off, ask the driver or conductor in advance.

A few words about the metro in Athens. Athens Metro– these are only 3 lines, with a total length of about 78 km. Tickets can be purchased at the metro ticket office or from special machines. The cost for 2017 is 1.4 €. There are discounts for students, and children under 6 years old are completely free. Before boarding, the ticket must be validated in a special machine installed at the entrance. A non-validated ticket is considered invalid and you will be fined 60 times the ticket price.

Intercity buses in Greece.

Ground intercity public transport in Greece is mainly intercity buses of the KTEL organization. In fact, this is an association of private carriers subordinate to the state. Regional bus companies are named according to their service area. For example, KTEL Attica serves the region. In this regard, there is no single ticket sales office. Even at the bus stations of Athens and Thessaloniki, where buses from all over Greece arrive, you need to find a KTEL ticket office in the exact area where you are going to go.

KTEL buses are modern, comfortable cars. It is better to purchase bus tickets in advance, at least 20-30 minutes in advance. By the way, you can buy a return ticket from open date. Unfortunately, you can buy tickets online only on some routes; more often, for pre-booking you still need to come in person to the KTEL ticket office - this is a feature of Greece, where Internet services are still poorly developed. The fare varies, but for reference, here is the price for the Athens-Thessaloniki bus: one way – 45 €, round trip – 65 €.

Detailed information about intercity buses We described KTEL in the article: "". Schedule, phone numbers and websites.

Sea transport: ferries in Greece.

Greece is a country of a thousand islands. And without a developed network of maritime transport, the very existence of Hellas would be impossible.

Maritime transport in Greece is usually called the general term “ferries”. But in fact, ferries operate between the islands like regular ferries ( ferry), and catamarans ( catamaran), and hydrofoils ( hydrofoil). Most islands are served by cargo-passenger ferries, on which you can travel with your own car.

When planning your travel route around Greece, so as not to get into trouble, consider a couple of very important points:

• Ferry service in Greece is limited to the sea. This means that sea routes Ionian Sea do not intersect with the routes of the Aegean Sea.
• Ferries in Greece have a pronounced seasonality. This means that in the autumn-winter period the number of flights decreases significantly and routes also change. At the same time, very often flights are completely canceled due to bad weather.

Domestic airlines.

Although the size of the country is very modest, the network of domestic air flights is very well developed here: every more or less large island and almost everything administrative centers regions of Greece have their own airfields. According to various sources, there are about 45 airports in Greece serving passenger flights, 15 of which are international.

The lion's share of international flights falls on , from where the country's two main air carriers, Olympic Airlines and Aegean Airlines, operate their domestic flights. Wherein most of local flights are planned taking into account connections with international ones.

Find and buy air tickets to domestic flights you can do it in the same way as tickets to Greece: either by using a metasearch engine (for example, we use Aviasales), or directly on airline websites. The only advice that is appropriate to give here is early booking air tickets, especially in " high season"(from May to October).

• Athens - Thessaloniki - Alexandroupolis;
• Athens - Corinth - Kalamata;
• Athens - Corinth - Patras;

But when you travel between major cities, then the train in some cases - especially for night crossings - may turn out to be more convenient option. Eg, train Athens – Thessaloniki. The fare depends on the category of train, which are divided into:

• “Basic” - ordinary passenger trains;
• "InterCity" - fast trains;
• "InterCity Express" - express trains;

As of 2017, the cost of a one-way ticket for the Athens - Thessaloniki train is 55.4 €, the travel time is just over 5 hours. By the way, tickets for the night train are much cheaper. You can purchase tickets online on the website trainose.gr.

Route

Traditionally, tour operators offer two types of routes - via Brest and by plane to Athens. The first is different in that you will travel part of the way to Brest by train, and then continue your journey by transferring to a bus. By choosing the second type, you will travel to the Greek capital by plane, which will save time. However, the cost of such an offer is by no means small.

Thus, the first and main advantage of bus tours to Greece is the quite reasonable price. In addition, travelers who choose them have the opportunity to study in detail the cultural characteristics and traditions of the country and admire the local landscapes to their fullest.

In addition, modern buses designed for traveling between cities are equipped with everything necessary for a long, trouble-free and comfortable trip: a minibar, TV and toilet.

Attractions

Of course, it is difficult to find someone who has never heard a single story about the Olympian gods. Greek legends are included in the school curriculum, and therefore bus tours to Greece organized by our specialists will be useful for both adults and children. For example, on the island of Crete there is the world-famous labyrinth of the Minotaur. And in the northern part of the country is Mount Olympus. Anyone can climb to its top during a holiday in Greece. The paths leading to it are equipped with signs, so you can find your way without any problems.

The Athenian Acropolis also deserves a separate discussion. Similar structures are present in every major greek city. However, it is Athenian that impresses with its scale and majesty. Its view is especially good at night.

For those who want to improve their health, we suggest visiting resort town Loutraki, famous for its medicinal mineral springs. A ten-minute bath in any of them greatly eases the course of osteochondrosis, arthritis and arthrosis, and drinking water inside helps with gastrointestinal diseases.

Hotels

Most Greek hotels are classified according to the traditional five-star system. But if you are planning to go on a bus tour to Greece, then you should know that along with this generally accepted classification, the outdated lettering has also been preserved. So, for example, class “L” corresponds to hotels with 5 stars, and class “E” has no category at all. However, in practice, such classification is imperfect. Because even among E-class hotels there are many whose level of service is no different from the level of service of three-star hotels.

Local hotels do not suffer from a lack of popularity, so when preparing for a holiday in Greece, you need to book rooms in advance. Price single room is approximately two-thirds the cost of a double.

Kitchen

It’s easy to guess what components Greek cuisine consists of. First of all, these are vegetables and olive oil, seafood and meat. In addition, feta cheese is an integral part of many dishes. They add it to the familiar Greek salad and appetizers. At all times, the Greeks loved to eat delicious food and cooked well.
