Getting To, From & Around Greece
Direct flights to Greece from the UK vary from 3 and a half to 4 hours, depending on your destination. Charter, scheduled and low-cost airlines offer direct flights so it's worth shopping around. With flights from a number of regional airports in the UK like Belfast, Glasgow and Cardiff, it's also easy to book a Jet2 holiday to Greece from a number of regional airports using just Jet2 flights.
You can also explore the Greek Islands by boat, either by ferry, driving yourself around or why not enjoy a cruise that takes you into the ports and offers various excursions for passengers. If you prefer being a bit more active than just lying on the stunning beaches, island hopping around some of the most popular Greek islands can be incredibly fun.
Once on land, getting around the mainland or islands is easiest done by car, allowing you to explore at your own pace. It's worth booking your car hire in advance and picking it up from the airport, although if you only want a car for a day or two, your hotel can also help you book a local on.
If it's a beach holiday you are after, or you just fancy spending most of your time by the pool and around your hotel, airport coach transfers can be organised in advance to take you between the island's airport and your hotel. This may be included within your flight inclusive package if you're booking with someone like TUI or Jet2holidays so check to see what's included.
Public Transport
Some areas like Athens may have strong transport links, however, once you get out to the islands, these aren't as frequent or accessible. Check your specific island to see what's the best way to get around.
Taxis
While the do cost more, if you've not hired a car, taking a taxi is inevitably the next easiest in terms of freedom. If you're a group of friends looking to head from your hotel to Faliraki for a night, for example, sharing the cost between a few of you can make this much more affordable.

Family Holidays To Greece
Greece is an exceptional family friendly holiday destination. While certain areas might be a bit more orientated to adults like the party side of Ayia Napa, or the grown up hilltop bars of Santorini, there are endless family hotels and resorts, both on mainland Greece and the islands, with plenty to see and enjoy. On the budget end, take a look at family favourites like the Holiday Village Atlantica Rhodes which has swim up rooms and a number of fun waterslides, or the TUI BLUE Elounda Breeze in Crete. If you're after a bit of luxury, the Ikos Dassia in Corfu is a stunning resort. Whatever your budget, free child places in Greece are possible, with many hotels providing free places when you book through TUI or Jet2holidays.

Last Minute Holidays
As always, if you're looking for a last minute holiday in Greece, being flexible with where you go can save you hundreds of pounds. Late deals are often available with top tour operators, especially ones who run their own flights and have seats and hotel rooms going empty. Book with an ABTA or ATOL protected provider like loveholidays, On The Beach and Hays Travel for some financial protection, but always take out travel insurance too.
