Holidays in Europe have increased against the background of a difficult new year for the euro area economy and beyond. Prices have increased almost as much as in Romania and other countries, even though inflation was not as great as with us.
The country most visited by Romanians, Greece, is no exception to the rule. Last year’s prices have become a memory, everything is more expensive or even more expensive, you need to know the Romanians who will go this summer season. Located in the top of the Romanians’ preferences, Thassos Island is even among the most expensive in Greece. He also found out a Romanian who is preparing to go there with the family. He wrote and asked for advice on a Facebook group dedicated to Romanians who choose to spend their holidays in Greece.
“Hello! We would like to come to Greece 7 nights, starting on August 4. We are a family of 2 adults and 2 children (17 and 10 years). We would like to tilt in the budget of 1,200-1,400 euros and accommodation, tables, tourist activities and transport. I want to visit as many places: beaches, monasteries, etc.!“He wrote.
Almost without exception, the Internet users told him that the 1,400 euros have no sufficient. And some of them urged them to opt for other destinations.
Greece, more expensive than ever
Prices are higher than ever in Greece is the basic idea. “With 1,400 euros go to the Bulgarian neighbors. It is possible to fall into the budget”someone told her.
“As food you can make a simple calculation. For 2 adults and 2 children cost about 80-90 euros on the table x 2 meals per day x how many days you stay. My opinion will not reach those money for 4 people. Like trips – 30 euros per person”said another. “You can eat with 40-50 euros, you do not need to eat appetizer, main course and dessert at each meal”contradicted someone else.
“I didn’t eat that way. I ate one way each and in 2 I gave about 40 euros. That with a beer and a juice.”, The contradicted one returned.
“Only a monastery I know! As for food, budget of 90 euros/meal for 4 people and not tired. There was another opinion.
Two people with 2,000 euros
“I think with 2,000 euros you can do so on poverty (I do not offend). We 2 people, more and more poverty, have spent 2,000 with one meal per day (50 euros)”someone warned.
“Only the road costs plus minus 300 euros (depending on the starting point in Romania). The accommodation will be considered everywhere as accommodation for two couples (the children are quite large) – so two rooms! The budget you have I do not think for the road and accommodation! I hope it is not upset!”, Wrote another.
“Thassos has become an expensive destination. If you descend more to the southern Greece, it is possible that in the money allocated you will stay several days and at least under the same conditions, if not even better. For example, in Peloponnese you will find half-price accommodations, at at least 25% on the taverns, and we are not in the case. In her south) or in Lesbos.was another point of view.
“4 people we minister 200 euros per expense, apart from accommodation, feryboat”, Someone pointed out.
“I don’t know if you get this budget for 4 people. We two people spent about 1,400 euros without stretching for many things, that is, only the return for 4 people is 90 euros, plus what you feed about two full in the car about 200 euros. It depends on where you are leaving, you can still find”, Wrote another.
“Minimum 4,000 euros for 4 people! We were 2 adults and a child and we spent 3,000 euros for 5 nights plus the daily expense”there was another opinion.
“If you put at least 1,000 euros to that money might get you”, Someone pointed out.
“With all the respect, but you do not reach that budget. Only the road and accommodation are covered with the budget available. I would say that you need about 150 euros per day for food and 1-2 activities. We were in June, considered somewhat of the middle and we spent about 800 euros in 6 days, 2 adults and a baby, except the road”he wrote another.
Where is cheaper
“We are in Pefkohori and the prices indeed increased a little. Here a gyros on the plate/ souvlaki is 9-10 euros, for glue 5 euros, shrimp-charm-dura between 15-20 euros, fried potatoes, pumpkin about 5-6 euros, on beer/ juice 4-6 euros”, someone said.
There were a few voices, few right, who encouraged them. But they all have to understand that they have to give up a lot for it.
“We 2 years in a row were staying in Iraklitsa and we did not spend more than 1,000 euros in 5 nights +road (Romania – Greece and return +road taxes). This year we have a budget of 1,500 euros and we want to go to Thassos. The pile of very cheap cosmetics. In the morning we were taking a leaf, a horn, a banana etc. p beach (we do not eat in the morning), we took the juice from the supermarket and kept it in a refrigerator, and at 14-15, when we returned after the beach, we went to a fast food.someone said.
“In Kassandra near Paliori, all inclusive – 5 nights 2 adults and 2 children – 1,156 euros accommodation, the road plus beach expenses 10-20 euros per day! Now everyone prefers!”he wrote another.
“Cut 2 more nights and you might fit, but with a single meal at taverns/day. And the more you come home for a day, and what you buy from Lidl, something, without loungers, without cruises … You would come to the truth!”someone else noticed.
