How early should I book my hotel and flight to Greece?

[efhernandez_]

What do you all recommend? Do hotels usually book up quickly?

 

[acamp7]

I always book when I see the cheapest prices!! Which is now!! So act fast

I recommend now because they just released the travel regulations for the summer

Book nothing!
When you arrive in Hellas, jump into a cab and go straight to Pireas, watch the passengers boarding the ferries, the ferry with the most Vavoura is the one you board, where is it going? Who cares, you are in Hellas

This is exactly what I have done nearly all over the world except when I want my peace and all inclusive luxury resorts, perfect just board the Ferry, so many choices.. avoid July and August even this year....as I write having lived in Mykonos, only 30% percent of accomodation is open... (Others opening June) rooms and apartments in abundance for sure!
, makes me want to travel but cannot as we have travel restrictions outbound from Thailand (Certainly be not allowed entry)...

I book Airbnb’s early as the nicer houses book up fast. If your looking for a hotel you can find something even a week before you go!

I hope the restrictions are lifted soon! I can tell from your experience that you love Greece very much! Keep safe and greetings from Los Angeles

Yeah, many of the good Airbnb's are already gone from what I'm seeing online

I see it's been a while since you've posted, but I just want to ask—has anyone here noticed big price differences based on which day of the week you book your flights or hotels? I started looking early March for an August trip, and some dates were way cheaper than others. Wondering if that's just random or if there's a pattern others have seen too.

I booked my Greece trip about 5 months in advance, and that gave me a good mix of choices and lower prices. If you're planning to stop in Germany on the way or on the way back, I found a cool place to stay through https://www.friendsquarters.de/en/ — it's got a chill vibe and worked great for a short stay before catching my next flight.

For popular destinations like Greece, booking flights about 3 to 4 months ahead usually gives you better prices and more options. Hotels can sometimes be reserved a bit later, but if you’re traveling in peak summer months, it’s safer to book at least 2 to 3 months in advance. This way you lock in good rates and avoid the stress of limited availability, especially in the islands where places fill up quickly.

I booked everything about four months in advance for my last Greece trip, and it worked out pretty well—flights were cheaper and I had more hotel options. I usually do the same kind of planning for other destinations too. When I went to New Zealand, grabbing my accommodation Auckland city centre early saved me from missing out on a great location during peak season.
