Flight

The time of year you are traveling and your point of departure plays a big role in the cost of your airfare. While many people prefer traveling during the busiest time of year, which is early July to August, when summer is at its height, a ticket for two may cost up to $1800.

Travel in the fall (September to November) can help you guarantee the best bargains and better weather. The warm but not hot weather is one of the best seasons to visit Greece during this time of year.

Accommodation

Depending on your vacation requirements, Greece offers a wide range of lodging options for you to select from.

Hostels are another option, with prices ranging around $35. Also, you might reserve more luxurious options, like all-inclusive resorts for couples in Greece. The whole number of days you stay will influence how much your Greece honeymoon will cost, so pick your budget carefully.

Food

Greek food is a culinary adventure that perfectly captures the diversity and energy of a seaside vacation. You will probably be attracted to frequent local eateries because the menu features a variety of traditional foods and seafood.
A restaurant dinner can range from $13 to $22. This number may be different due to these factors:

• Which island or location in Greece are you staying on?
• The kind of place you are dining in (luxury, taverna, etc.)
• If you wish to upgrade your order to include an alcoholic beverage.

Activities

There are many things to see and do in Greece, like visiting the Greek islands with the infamous and exquisite beaches. There are also a lot of activities to do, like scuba diving, windsurfing, boat cruises, or roaming around the islands. The prices may be different, depending on the activities you choose and the area you visit. Also, if you are staying in an adult-only resort,  join lots of fun activities to help you get to know the area.

However, the best way to organize your budget is to research all the cultural activities fees, like museums, and plan them from there.
