"Greece on a Budget!" Greece by freya_heaven

Greece Travel Guide: 34,381 reviews and 74,359 photos

We were here backpacking for over 2 weeks. Unfortunately we both thought the other had brought the credit card & neither if us had.............. We had ?300 in cash to last both of us for food, accommodation & site seeing! It actually turned out good fun trying to see how cheaply we could do things. It did mean however we didnt get to see as much as we wanted so we WILL BE BACK!

Photo is of changing of the guards in Athens, "& I thought our lot in London looked silly!" (~_~)

Hydra Harbour

Beautiful Saronic Gulf Island of Hydra in Prefecture of Attica.

Nafplio

A gorgeous Venetian house in the pretty Peloponnese town of Nafplio

Pros and Cons

Pros:Cheap living, wild dolphins & sesame bagels
Cons:As in Many places, Taxi drivers!
