FOUR WAYS TO FREE/LOW COST TRAVEL AROUND GREECE...AND NOT ONLY!

By Liana Metal

1.Free lodging!

Find a pen friend. Maybe you haven’t thought of this. It’s the
best solution to your budget problems, but you can’t have it
overnight! Greek people are hospitable and so are other
countries’ people if you become friends with. It’s the simplest
thing to do if you like writing letters or just exchanging cards
and souvenirs. I’ve done it and a lot of other people have, why
not you? Your friend will probably be happy to put you up for a
couple of nights and show you around as well. The other
alternative is to exchange your house/flat with somebody else’s
abroad. There is a site online that will help you find a place .
Try www.welcometraveller.org , they advertise ‘exchange homes
free of charge’. Try also www.bigworld.com for offers and
discounts.

2.Low cost travel

Stay at campsites. The cheapest alternative to free lodging, at
least in Greece. You save money and have fun . Find a campsite
at www.greecetravel.com/campsites

3.Invest on a bike.

If you like cycling, then you can do it. In Greece you can cycle
to most places and see areas that are worth visiting. You can
easily rent a bike , and if you are in Corfu you can try
www.mountainbikecorfu.com

4.Rent a room in a village or at the port

There are families who rent rooms in their own house ; cheaper
than hotel rooms but you have to follow the rules. Where can you
find them? Watch the port area if you come by ship. There are
people who approach you and tell you about their own rooms
around the area, at low prices. Sometimes you can even bargain
to get a better price.

Well, if all these don’t suit you and you may own a caravan ,
you don’t have to worry about lodgings. You can stay at
campsites at low cost, at the side of the road or even in a
field for free. You can also hire a caravan and share the
expenses, if you travel with friends.

Don’t know where to find one? In Greece you can try
