Greece may look like an expensive holiday destination, but a traveller has shown that a trip there does not always need a huge budget. Known for its ancient ruins, blue waters, sunny islands and charming villages, Greece attracts tourists from across the world. For Indian travellers, the cost of a European holiday can be a major concern.
Travel content creator Charmy has shared her 10-day Greece trip and revealed that she managed to complete the holiday for just Rs 1.50 lakh. Her budget included the main costs of the trip and showed how careful planning can help control spending.
According to Charmy, her international and domestic flights together cost around Rs 68,000. She spent another Rs 22,000 on ferries, buses, metro rides and taxis while travelling between different places.

According to Lonely Planet, winter can be a cheaper time to visit Greece. From November to March, the region sees a low tourist turnout and hotel prices and entry fees for some attractions drop.
Winter also means fewer tourists, so visitors can explore popular places without crowds. They can also experience the relaxed side of Greek life.
