Are the cramped spaces of a room too small for you? Do you prefer accommodation with a separate entrance for more privacy? Forget hotels, the ideal accommodation for your vacation in Greece is an apartment or a holiday house.
Finding interesting offers is not difficult, especially if you book well in advance: villas and vacation homes are very common in Greece and represent an excellent solution for a stay of comfort and freedom. The most popular ones are located in front of the sea or directly on the beach and are equipped with swimming pool; the studios, furnished in typical Greek style, combine price, charm and practicality.
