I'm going to be staying in hotels while in Greece this summer but I'd love to wash my clothes because I don't like carrying a huge suitcase full of clothes. Is it easy to find a laundromat in Greece? Thanks

There are probably some laundromats in Athens, but less in other parts of Greece. Your better bet is getting your clothes dry cleaned
 
I am about 90% certain there is no such thing in Greece. I've never seen one, and I've certainly never seen one in Athens (where I spend most of my time in Greece)

There’s lots of laundromats in Athens! We found one just three blocks from our hotel, which is only two blocks from the Acropolis Museum. Five Euros for the wash, three Euros for 45 minutes dry (30 minutes is not enough for a medium load). Laundry powder just one Euro. Just look on a map app!

Interesting. 30+ years in Athens and I've never seen one.

Most Greeks will use the bathtub to wash their clothes if they don't have a washing machine.

Yeahhhhhhhh😂😂.....like me in Mykonos....I used the bath tub all the time as I didn't have a washing machine....and no space for it too....In Mykonos they have very good laundry facilities... serviced and they used to collect and deliver too!🤗🤗.....It used to be located in Fabrica square near the bus station.

Ha ha, Hash - I've done this, too. Or simply just use the hotel sink and whatever soap they've given me...

When does tourist season end in Greece?

I am planning my next Greek trip.

I want to go in October but the people I am traveling with - we won't be able to to go until mid-October.

I have been to Crete that late in the year and to Athens, but not anywhere else. On our schedule is to visit some of the smaller islands, like Hydra.

Do places like that shut down? My main concern is, will the tourist shops be closed? I love to browse through them and it's part of my enjoyment.

Travel Tips for Naxos

I'm planning a trip to the island of Naxos soon and I'm reaching out for some guidance and tips.

First off, I've heard that Naxos is a haven for foodies – any recommendations on local foods I absolutely must try or the best places to eat?

Exploring the cultural heritage of Naxos is also high on my agenda. I understand there are plenty of historical sites and ruins that abound. For those of you who've wandered the island's ancient paths, which historical spots would you say I need to see??

Also, I’d love to hear about your favorite beaches. Are there any hidden gems I should know about? Places that aren’t too crowded perhaps?

Thanks!

Sustainable Travel to Greece?

I'm currently planning a trip to Greece and am passionate about making my travel as sustainable and eco-friendly as possible. Given the beauty and historical significance of Greece, I want to ensure that my visit contributes positively to the environment and local communities there.

Does anyone have any tips or experiences they could share on sustainable travel practices in Greece? I'm looking for advice on everything from eco-friendly accommodations, sustainable dining options, to ways of exploring the country that minimize my carbon footprint. Also, if there are specific activities or tours that support local conservation efforts or communities, I'd love to hear about those too!

Best places in Greece to see the Venetian influences?

I am interested in the Venetian influences that are interwoven into certain parts of the country. From the architecture to the local customs, I understand that the reach of the Venetian Republic left a notable mark that can still be felt today.

I'm in the midst of planning an itinerary focused on exploring these influences and I’d love to hear from you about the must-visit spots where one can best experience the essence of the Venetian presence in Greece.

Do any of you have recommendations for specific towns, buildings, ruins, or even local festivities that embody this cultural blend? Any hidden gems or lesser-known locations that surprised you with their Venetian charm?

Of course, I expect Crete, with its famed Venetian fortresses and the romantic old town of Chania, to be part of this list. But I'm certain there is a wealth of places, perhaps on other islands or on the mainland, which equally showcase this unique period of history. I also know there are influences in Corfu. Is there anywhere else?
