Cheap Holidays to Greece

Our most requested resort areas combine strong beaches, reliable transfers and a good spread of prices across the year.

• Crete: Crete is Greece's largest island, and its long sandy beaches on the north coast, around Malia and Agios Nikolaos, make it a dependable choice for value. The main gateway airport sits close to the northern resorts, so transfers along the coast are usually short and predictable. Hotels here range from simple family properties to larger all-inclusive complexes, which gives budget travellers useful room to compare. The trade-off is that the island is big, so choosing a base near the airport saves time and money on the journey. For a balanced package, it is hard to beat this island. It is exactly the brief our Crete holidays deals are built around.
• Rhodes: Rhodes offers sandy beaches at Faliraki and Ixia, with resort facilities that keep costs sensible during the shoulder months. Faliraki sits roughly 15 km from the island's main town, so you can enjoy the resort by day and still reach the medieval Old Town by bus. Direct flights from several UK airports help keep the fare side competitive. The island suits travellers who want a lively base without giving up history on their doorstep. We think it is one of the strongest all-round values in the eastern Aegean. It is exactly the brief our Rhodes holidays deals are built around.
• Corfu: Corfu is green and fertile, with sandy beaches and shallow bays that appeal to families and couples alike. It has flights from several UK airports, which can keep the outbound cost lower than to more distant islands. The island's old town gives you Venetian architecture and a lively evening atmosphere within a short ride of most resorts. Hotels vary widely in quality, so comparing reviews and transfer times matters here. For a green island with good beaches, Corfu remains a sound choice for budget planning. It is exactly the brief our Corfu holidays deals are built around.
• Chalkidiki: Chalkidiki is a peninsula in northern Greece with three finger-shaped headlands and sandy beaches that shelve gently into the sea. The regional airport to the west is the main access point, and it can offer lower fares than routes into the capital for some departure points. The gentle shallows suit younger children, which is why this destination sits at the centre of our family-focused selection rather than the same brief our Greece Adults Only Holidays deals are built around. Resort prices tend to be moderate outside peak summer. The drive to the headlands takes time, so checking transfer durations before booking is worth the effort. We rate it as a quieter alternative for families on a tight budget.
• Naxos: Naxos is the largest island in the Cyclades and is generally less crowded than its neighbouring islands. Its beaches and hiking routes provide good value for travellers who want a relaxed stay, and the harbour town has a historic Venetian castle to explore. Ferries from the port of Piraeus reach the island, though sailing times vary by season and can make the journey longer than a flight. The trade-off is fewer large all-inclusive resorts, so self-catering or half-board options may suit you better, the same brief our Greece Family Holidays deals are built around. For a cheaper Cycladic experience, this island is a strong pick.
