Cheap flights to Greece

Peak Season: Mid-June to the end of August is high season for most of Greece, when the temperatures are hottest. Easter time to mid-June is also very popular as the weather is still very warm, though not unbearably hot. You may be able to pick up some cheaper deals at this time of year though. Late August to mid-October is Greece’s shoulder season. The temperatures are still high (substantially higher than the UK and Ireland) and most resorts and attractions still open, but prices are much lower than early or high summer so cheap flights and accommodation are easier to find. Off Season: October to April is off season. Though you will find the cheapest deals at this time, much of the tourist parts of Greece close down around this time. Unless you’re in Athens you may find that there is little to do and hardly any hotels or restaurants that are open.

If you are looking for cheap flights to Greece from the Philippines, you can expect your journey to last anywhere from about 17-26h. Flights to Greece’s capital, Athens, from Manila, for example, will take you around 17h if you are flying with Qatar Airways, but if you’re flying out from Cebu City, your journey will be a bit longer, up to 23h. Greece flight deals with Sky Express from Manila to Thessaloniki will take around 20h. Flying from Cebu City to Thessaloniki, you can expect to travel for about 26h if you fly with Philippine Airlines.

Unfortunately, direct flights from the Philippines to Greece are not currently available. If you’re flying to Thessaloniki from Manila with Qatar Airways, you can expect to have stopovers in Doha and Athens. For the most part, flights out of Manila and Cebu City to Athens use Turkish Airlines, so you can expect a stopover in Istanbul. Flights to Athens using KLM Royal Dutch Airlines will need you to stopover in Bangkok and Amsterdam before arriving in Athens. If you want to fly to Thessaloniki from Cebu City with Philippine Airlines, you can expect a stopover in Doha as well as Athens.

If you want to get to Santorini from Athens, it’s always good to use the ferries. It is around a four and a half hour journey to get from Athens to the island. You could also fly, which would only take around two hours. If you want to get around in the cities like Athens, you can use the metro system that’s distributed quite effectively throughout the cities. If you want to visit the Parthenon, a famous set of ancient Greek ruins, it would only take 20min to get there through Athens metro. You can hire a car in Greece although it isn't necessary since the cities have good public transport and the country has a collection of islands. However, if you want to hire a car, all you need is to have been licensed for over a year and possess an International Driver’s Permit and credit card.

The Parthenon is an important part of Greek history and culture, it is a freestanding connection to their ancient past and represents so much for Greece’s identity as the origins of western culture. You can book guided tours with people knowledgeable about the history and practises of the people who lived when the temple to the Greek god Athena was first built. There is also the island of Santorini, whose architecture will amaze you while you visit its unique black sand beaches. If anyone is interested in geology they might enjoy the rock formations created by the island’s volcanic past. The Greek carnival Apokries is celebrated around February or March and is a wonderful way to get to know the locals and have a fun time. All sorts of greek delicacies like souvlaki are made during this celebration.

Greece is part of the Schengen agreement, which means that a citizen of the Philippines will need both a passport and a Schengen visa in order to visit the country. You will need two passport photos, proof of where you will be staying and your flight details, as well as proof that you have enough money to sustain you during your trip. The process for a Schengen visa takes about 15 days and around ₱4,600.
