Author: Naomie Sabbah Budget: £500 for the whole trip. Who's this for? Students looking to discover the most stunning beaches. Last year, I went to Greece with my friends and it was the best trip that I ever had at a super attractive budget. I couldn’t NOT mention this trip on the blog. My friends and I had a 500 euro budget for seven days including accomodation, food and activities, and guess what, we managed to make it. Travelling in July can be relatively expensive as there is higher demand but I will give you the best tips to travel comfortably with a tight-budget. Firstly, I advise you to travel beginning of July to Mykonos as plane tickets are cheaper and known places are less crowded. You could find plane tickets for 200 euros with low cost companies through https://www.skyscanner.net (this website will provide you the best offers). As Mykonos is one of the most expensive Greek Islands (e.g. a night out will cost you more than 200 euros), we decided to spend just a day there, and then we spent 3 days in Paros and three other days in Ios. 1st stop: Mykonos in a day Once you arrive in Mykonos, take a bus to go to the city centre. It will cost you only 4 euros per person. Mykonos offers charming landscapes, amazing beaches, delicious typical food and a stunning architecture with blue painted doors. A day in Mykonos is not sufficient to explore all the hidden places but enough to discover the principals ones . My favourite things to do in Mykonos for a day are:
2nd Stop: Paros for 3 days Paros is a relatively small island and 3 days is more than enough to visit all of this Cycladic Island. It is cheaper than Mykonos and has a lot to offer: it has all the charm and atmosphere of Mykonos but without the heaving crowds and steep prices. For the accommodation, I advise you to stay in Naoussa as the nightlife is better and transportation is more convenient. Indeed, be prepared, buses run every hour. Things to do in Paros:
3rd Stop: Ios for 3 days
In Ios, I was surprised by the number of students during the summer coming from Greece and England, so here is my advice: don’t go there for a family trip. Ios is the ideal place for partying all day and if you enjoy the nightlife, Paros is definitely the spot for you. What to do in Ios?
