The 2009 recession coupled with higher exchange rates against the euro has resulted in many package tour firms cutting back on resorts and hotels in a bid to trim costs. The result is a plus for Greek island lovers who can expect quieter beaches and more relaxed holidays.
To stimulate the market, travel firms are offering some great bargains this year. More people are also opting for independent holidays as cheap airlines open up routes to Greek islands.
For those who prefer the traditional package holiday route it is a matter of booking early to snap up the best locations and take full advantage of low deposits and free child places or waiting for the summer to cash in on last-minute bargains.
