What is the best time of year for a walking tour in Greece?
Greece is a very popular holiday destination, especially for summer holidays in July and August. But these are also the hottest and busiest months. So, the time for a walking tour in Greece is during the months either side of peak summer or, even better, in spring (March to May) and autumn (late-September-November) when the weather is most comfortable and there are fewer visitors. Winter is also a good time of the year for walking tours in cities like Athens and Thessaloniki.
What is the best time of day for a walking tour in Greece?
In summer, make sure to start your walking tour in the morning or early evening, to avoid the midday heat. In spring and autumn, you can be more flexible with your start time, although be aware that it can still be hot. Make sure to wear a hat and sunscreen and carry a water bottle.
What are the best places in Greece for audio tours?
You can enjoy a walking tour in many places in Greece. The most popular destinations for walking tours are Athens and Thessaloniki, which are full of cultural landmarks and museums, and have vibrant food & drink scenes and plenty of small craft shops, markets and interesting neighbourhoods to discover. Many Greek islands have fascinating main towns that are easy to explore on foot, such as Corfu and Rhodes Old Town, as well as Chania and Rethymno Old Town in Crete. And there are plenty of cities and towns on the mainland that are wonderful to explore on foot, such as Kalamata in the Peloponnese and Kavala in northeastern Greece.
Can I take the tour at my own pace?
Absolutely! Our tours are designed to be flexible. You can pause, skip sections, or replay parts as you like, making it easy to explore each site at your own pace.
Do the audio tours include entry tickets or guided access to the sites?
No, the audio tours are separate from site entry tickets. You will need to purchase entry tickets to any attractions you plan to visit.
Is Greece a safe country to walk in?
Greece is generally a safe and welcoming country for travellers, but it's always wise to be cautious, especially in crowded tourist areas. Keep your belongings secure and avoid displaying valuables. The emergency number for all services, including medical emergencies, is 112. Athens has many hospitals and health clinics providing comprehensive medical services. Pharmacies are widely available and can offer over-the-counter medications as well as prescription drugs. Tap water is safe to drink, although bottled water is preferable, and food safety standards are high, making it safe to enjoy local cuisine.
