FAQ

Getting Around

For our hotel stays we include airport transfers on the whole, however, if you would prefer car hire to get out and explore then we are happy to arrange this for you of course.  On Corfu, some of our villas require car hire due to their more remote locations, but very handy for exploring the rugged and beautiful north of the island.

Travel Essentials

Currency

Nice and easy, Euros!  Readily available in the UK, or once your arrive in Greece, you are likely to get a better exchange rate when you are there.  Credit and debit cards are widely accepted unless you are shopping in markets etc.

Passports & Visas

Your passport should have 3 months validity left from the date you are leaving Greece

Visas for 90 days stay for holiday purposes are not usually required for UK

Time

Greece is 2 hours ahead of the UK

Dress and behaviour

Greece is a very relaxed country and there are no dress concerns. However, in some more upmarket hotels and restaurants, smart casual dress may be required

Etiquette & Tipping

Tipping around 10-15% is customary in restaurants, hotels and taxis.

Travel with Children

You’ll find Greece to be very family friendly, even in the evenings in restaurants (except perhaps in some of the very top end ones!). However, be aware that facilities such as highchairs and baby changing facilities can be inconsistent, or more likely absent. Children’s menus aren’t common but you can speak to your waiter and they may offer special options for children. Most importantly be on high alert for safety with young children as its typical for safety standards to be lower than the UK.
