Santorini Secrets
Loading content
The average cost of a trip to Greece is between €150 and €250 per day for a mid-range traveler, including hotels, food, and local ferries. A budget backpacker can travel Greece for under €80 a day, while luxury travelers in Santorini and Mykonos should expect to spend over €400 a day.
Use our interactive Greece Trip Cost Calculator below to estimate your exact vacation budget based on your travel style, destinations, and trip length.
The biggest swing in a Greece trip budget usually comes from four decisions: which destinations you combine, when you travel, what hotel standard you choose, and whether international flights are part of the total.
Athens, Crete, Naxos, and mainland Greece usually stretch a budget further. Santorini and Mykonos climb fastest once you move into peak season, waterfront stays, and restaurant-heavy days.
Use the comparison table for modeled ground-cost benchmarks, then use the calculator below to test your exact trip length, currency, dining style, accommodation preference, and optional flights.
Assumptions: daily columns use shoulder season, no international flights, and travel-style matched accommodation and dining defaults. The 7-night couple estimate uses comfort style, 2 travelers, 7 nights, shoulder season, and no international flights.
| Destination | Backpacker / day | Comfort / day | Luxury / day | 7-night couple estimate | Main budget pressure |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Santorini | €105 | €305 | €1,070 | €4,300 | Caldera-view accommodation, peak-season demand, and premium dining push totals up quickly. |
| Mykonos | €115 | €345 | €1,205 | €4,830 | Beach clubs, nightlife, and resort pricing create the sharpest jump once you leave budget territory. |
| Athens | €65 | €195 | €670 | €2,700 | Hotels and dining stay manageable, so location and trip length matter more than island transfer costs. |
| Crete | €60 | €170 | €605 | €2,410 | Car rental, longer distances, and resort choice matter more than ferry-heavy island hopping. |
| Naxos & Paros | €55 | €160 | €570 | €2,270 | Accommodation is usually softer than Santorini, but ferry combinations and beachfront upgrades still move totals. |
| Mainland Greece | €55 | €155 | €535 | €2,140 | Road-trip distance, car rental, and stop count matter more than headline hotel rates. |
