I need to figure out how to call Greece from the United States for free! Any advice?

I no longer have a landline. Someone said I could use Skype for free? I don't have Skype, though, so I don't want to do that.

I also heard that WhatsApp has some options? I have a friend that called the US FROM Greece... does it work in the reverse and is it really free?

Download the Viber app. Free between app holders you can add money to call landlines very cheaply

Great trip! I usually make sure my regular cell can accept international calls, and then I bring a burner phone or buy one when I get to Greece and just use SIM cards while there for my in-country stuff.

Booking a trip to Greece from the US can be a real adventure, especially when you're looking to save on those phone bills. One trick I've found handy is using apps or services that let you make calls to Greece for free or at low rates. It's like having a direct line to paradise without burning through your wallet. Plus, it's super convenient when you need to sort out all those travel details hassle-free. For anyone planning a European getaway, it's worth checking out options like SIM cards from places like https://simsdirect.com.au/collections/europe that can keep you connected without the crazy costs.

Passenger traffic in Greek airports soars by 9.5% during January-July 2024!

One week itinerary in Greece?

I'm planning a 1-week trip to Greece and definitely want to include Mykonos in my itinerary. However, I'm struggling to decide how to divide my time and what other destinations to include. Ideally, I'd like a mix of relaxation, sightseeing, and some local culture.

How many days should I spend in Mykonos to get the full experience without feeling rushed? Also, what other nearby islands or mainland spots would you recommend visiting? Any must-see attractions, beaches, or hidden gems in Mykonos and the surrounding areas?

Additionally, any tips on transportation between the islands and accommodation recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to hearing your suggestions and advice to make the most of my trip!

Any Festivals in Greece in the Fall?

I am going to Greece in the fall and some of the trip is open ended. This is for late September.

Are there any noteworthy festivals or events happening in Greece during the fall months? I'm particularly interested in cultural, food, or music festivals that offer a taste of Greek traditions and local life.

I've heard about grape harvest festivals and maybe some regional celebrations, but I'd appreciate any recommendations or insights on specific events, dates, and locations.

July 2024 sets a record as the hottest month in Greece's recorded history!

Yes indeed, additional precautions necessary at all times especially visiting any outdoor archeological and cultural sites,I remember when I used to visit Delos regularly,it was unbearable, always feeling for my lovely tour guides who had go around the sites, sometimes 3/4 times in that blistering heat!

Business declines on two islands!

I personally don't know what to make of this!😂..... Having worked in Tourism Industry for many years I never believe statistics(I take them with pinch of salt! 😂).... Quantifying revenue streams from these two Islands especially Mykonos would be a classified confidential subject, perhaps no one know how it is determined!!😂Just a few weeks ago Santorini was restricting numbers,so says the media!?....and now the tour guide says the opposite!....I am going to wait until the end of the summer.Income wise Super Yachts and high end tourism certainly produces substantial revenue,be it may not spreading across, vacant aircraft seats is an indicator of dissatisfied travellers but this has been long time coming!
