Immigrate to Greece focus on Greece travel guide: For some, traveling to Greece feels like a mirage—distant and untouchable. In reality, Greece is now an absolutely affordable destination. While the country has been affected by a prolonged financial crisis, its tourism industry remains vibrant and ready for visitors. For travelers, the economic crisis means that previously sought-after and reasonably priced destinations are now even more cost-effective, giving you a wider range of choices and the opportunity to save a significant amount of money.
Athens is the gateway to a trip to Greece and is absolutely worth a visit. You need to stay for at least a few days to truly feel the grandeur of the Acropolis and experience the surrounding scenery: the Theatre of Dionysus, the birthplace of theater in the world; and the Ancient Agora, where Socrates preached his philosophy. While museums in other parts of the world typically charge around $30 (approximately 187 RMB) per person, a combined ticket for the Acropolis and 10 other ancient Greek sites in Athens is only 12 Euros (approximately 102 RMB), with children's tickets at 6 Euros (approximately 51 RMB). The influential and magnificent Acropolis Museum costs only 5 Euros (approximately 42.5 RMB). For a small fee, you can visit the Temple of Olympian Zeus with its massive stone columns, with the Arch of Hadrian nearby (free). The nearby Panathenaic Stadium is also worth a visit; these structures are all built of marble, shining with the glory of the past.
Of course, for any trip, the biggest expense is accommodation, but now you can experience elegant lodging at unprecedented low prices. In Athens, you can experience the budget-friendly Hotel Antonis, or mid-range hotels located at the foot of the Acropolis—the Hera Hotel, an extremely elegant new hotel, or the noble and exquisite Grande Bretagne Hotel.
