Finding last minute travel deals?

[dpappas87]

Most of the time when I go to Greece, I know well in advance.

I am thinking of going at the last minute soon, and I wonder how to look for last minute deals?

One thing I did notice is that from the United States, flights tend to go up in price as the date approaches, not down, but I may be able to find deals on hotels etc?

Tips appreciated!

I would look into the idea of doing an airbnb! Those might be cheaper, and you'll have more flexibility... meals aren't super important in Greece at hotels - the food is better in random tavernas and you can cook with beautiful ingredients.

In terms of flights, you're right—prices usually do climb as the departure date approaches, especially for popular destinations like Greece. However, for hotels, you can often find some steals if you're flexible. Sometimes hotels would rather fill a room at a discount than let it go empty.

Speaking of hotels, if you ever find yourself considering a trip Down Under, take a look at broadbeach hotels. It often has great last-minute packages, including perks like free breakfast and late checkout. They even have special promotions for multi-night stays.
