What is the cheapest island in Greece?

[nadellii]

This post is for all of my budgeters! I would love to know if anyone has advice on inexpensive islands visit in Greece. I have found that over the years, the prices of hotels and restaurants are increasing and getting way too expensive. I would love to keep traveling to Greece, because it’s my favorite destination but I don’t want to break the bank either. Any advice from seasoned Greek travelers? Thanks ?

Which islands have you already travelled to?

I recommend Paros! Much cheaper than Mykonos and Santorini and a quieter alternative

Hello from Athens. I would say the cheapest island would be Evia and some remote parts of Crete. But have in mind that prices change - become higher in July and August. So, if you travel in September, you'll find better prices (and fewer crowds and better service).

Great advice, if you're looking for cheap then don't travel during the summer

Go to the lesser known islands like Andros, Tinos ( easy to reach from Athens ) or the smaller ones Amorgos, Folengandros, Sikinos ( travel time and costs are higher) and off season is always cheaper.

Sikinos is a great recommendation! I had a friend who went a couple years back and they still can't stop talking about it. Cyclades is the best!

I am curious about which islands you traveled to, as well. Which places in Greece do you find expensive, so that it can put things into perspective... I have lately found all of Greece expensive, just because it is a pretty expensive process getting to Greece from the United States.
