Long Stay Holidays in Greece

Long stay holidays in Greece are a popular option for many holiday-makers, both young and old, and can be enjoyed all year round. Whilst the country always attracts a youthful clientele who arrive hoping to island-hop through the summer and really experience the diversity of the area, long stay holidays in Greece also hold an appeal for older visitors, who have the luxury of plenty of time on their hands, and can afford to settle in an established resort for more than the usual week or fortnight and enjoy some gentle relaxation. 

 

The warm Mediterranean weather is a major draw on a long stay holiday in Greece, with winters seeing average temperatures of around 15C and 4 - 5 hours of sun each day. Visitors flock to the mainland resorts and islands such as Corfu, Crete, Rhodes, Kos, Zante, Mykonos and Santorini to experience golden sandy beaches, dazzling white-washed villages and azure blue sea and sky, coupled with a range of sports and activities, and a host of ancient historical sights to see on their long stay holiday in Greece. Although many tourist towns and villages do shut down at the end of the season, long stay holidays in Greece feature resorts on the more southerly islands that remain open throughout the winter, such as Crete, and its towns of Aghios Nikolaos, Malia and Chania, where visitors will find a quiet and tranquil atmosphere, and a much slower pace than in the summer months.

Long stay holidays in Greece during both the main tourist season and the winter months are generally offered at reduced prices and discounts, making them very attractive prospects for those with the time to travel. Boasting great value for money, long stay holidays in Greece can often be much more economical than staying at home, with cheap accommodation costs and a host of well-priced tavernas and restaurants to try each night.
