You may want
to get some idea of what you will pay for certain
items on your trip to Greece. Prices are in Euros. One Euro = about $1.07 but you may want to check this when you get to Athens. Banks post the official rates.
To find a chart that has general rates for hotels see
HotelsofGreece.
You can see the cost of an entire holiday minus the food on Fantasy Travel's Island Programs Page
