>light green - is main destination>dark green - places of high interest>goal of trip - street food, fine dining and relaxation (Schwarma; Kokoretsi; seafood e.g Καλαμάρι Τηγανητό [entire bodies not rings], Octopus, Mussels)>request - cities or villages with cheap accommodation and cheap foodI'm not there for sight-seeing. I just want to lay in a good cool bed all day with a nice shower area, wake up late and go eat seafood, purchase an energy drink or two and sit with my laptop or a book in bed.Not lazy at all. I've just been hiking the last couple of months photographing Scotland. It has taken all my energy and now I think I deserve to be lazy. So my heavy camera is staying at home.Am an Arma 3 fan, so I was thinking Lemnos and its southern Island. Thessaloniki as a starting place. Have been to Greece before (Lamia and its coastal villages). So Greece and its abysmal public transport isnt new to me. Will be there for 14 days and need the weather to be consistently 24-28°C. Possibly at the end of my trip, may enter Southern Albania then go home.So can you guys advise me some towns, villages, cities which would best suit me?
Retarded. Just go to turkey ir albania for one third the price
End of September and start of October is an awesome time to go since the weather will be great wherever you go.While I haven't personally been to Lemnos, I do know people who have. I think it is a great idea if you just want to chill out. Also consider Lesvos because the food is great and its a bigger island with more diversity (especially if you have a car and can drive around), These islands are great because they aren't super touristy.Wouldn't really reccomend Epirus especially because you want to eat seafood and relax.Maybe stay a few nights in Thessaloniki and then the rest in an island like Lemnos or Lesvos. There are great ψαροταβέρνες in Thessaloniki like ψαροταβέρνα 'Ηλίας',. Do a bit of research, some of these places don't even have fixed menu's because whatever is cooked is whatever is fresh in season and available. With fish, always ask what fresh fish they have for the specifc day you are there. There is a really good small ψαροταβέρνα like this in Νεοι επιβάτες called καπετάν φουρτούρνας. Bit far from central Thessaloniki though. Also maybe consider the Peloponnese (particularly Messinia, Kalamata) and Kephalonia. Try and find out of the way places to eat, they will always be cheaper than spots in the centre which are tourist traps. That's basically all I can say. Have fun.
>>2911066Ironically enough, this is no longer the case. At least in the case of Turkey. There have been many Turks that have started travelling to Greece rather than domestically solely for this reason. I imagine Albania is still cheaper especially in villages and out of the way places. I haven't been so I don't know.
>>2911061>picture doesn't include Cretethis holiday has failed before it started
>>2911117The touristic seaside spots like Sarande, Ksamil, Durres or Vlora aren't that much cheaper than Greece, while Greece just feels more... civilized. Better working facilities, public transport, EU convenience and so on. I like Albania, and to be fair they do have good food quality, meat especially, but yeah, I don't know if it's worth leaving Greece for.
>>2911066Greece is comfier>>2911113Great advice, I liked Ioannina (you can find a unique sour cherry spread called βύσσινο there that I really liked) a lot but if seafood is your main focus maybe go to other locations.
>>2911066>go to turkey ir albania if he wanted to visit some Muslim country that alcohol he should go to uk instead
>>2911061Yes go to Pilion villages
live you are myth in Greece
>>2911155Crete is great but it can get a bit pricey since you won't get far without a rental. ps - If all tourists should avoid Heraklion airport as it's easily the worst in Europe.
