Prices for holidays in popular tourist destinations on October 28


There are only three days left for the holiday on October 28 and tourists are already preparing to leave. It's the first three days of the season, and winter tourism professionals explain that occupancy levels are already in the “red zone.”

In our area, occupancy has long reached 100%. The mountainous Arcadia and Lagadia are easily accessible, approximately 2 hours drive from Athens. The road network is safe and this is a great opportunity to spend three days outside the city“, said the owner of the Lagadia Orinis Arcadia hotel, Vasilis Maniatis. This is a relatively economical solution, since for a family with two children the costs are as follows:

TRANSPORT from Athens: (28.20 euros + 9.50 euros)* 2 = 75.40 euros.
ACCOMMODATION: 120–150 euros per night* with breakfast.
FOOD: 80–140 euros per day.
TOTAL: 675–945 euros.

For his part, vice-president of Magnesia hoteliers Georgiy Botsivalis commented: “There are countless villages in the area, they are beautiful and there are endless options for accommodation with amenities. Prices remain low. Occupancy will reach 100%, but there are also free roomsIn Volos Pelion prices on October 28 for a family with two children are as follows:

TRANSPORT from Athens: (49 euros + 20 euros)* 2 = 138 euros.
ACCOMMODATION: 90–160 euros per night* with breakfast.
FOOD: 80–140 euros per day.
TOTAL: 650–1040 euros.

Vice-President of the Union of Hoteliers of Ioannina Efi Syaarhu spoke about the tourist flow and what is expected in the coming days. “The three-day weekend will be great, but of course it won’t help tourist destinations like Ioannina and Epirus in general. I believe more action needs to be taken regarding the road network and beyond. In recent years, the whole of Ioannina has seen a huge increase in accessibility and footfall. This year, traffic will again fluctuate at last year’s level,” she commented. In Ioannina, prices on October 28 for a family with two children are as follows:

TRANSPORT from Athens: (54€ + 41€)* 2 = 190€
ACCOMMODATION: 80–150 euros per night* with breakfast.
FOOD: 80–140 euros per day.
TOTAL: 670–1060 euros.
