01. Why choose a Greece tour package?
Greece rewards the well-planned. Ferries that look simple on a map become five-hour crossings in August heat; the cave suite you loved on Instagram is sold out two summers ahead. A package — done properly — means someone has already held the rooms, timed the transfers and reserved the sunset table before you land.
At Elysian Greece every package is private and tailor-made: you choose the islands and the pace, we compose the days. All journeys are quoted and billed with no hidden costs, and a single concierge stays with you from first call to final farewell.
- Private by default — your own transfers, guides and tables; never a coach with 40 strangers.
- Island-hopping, solved — flights, ferries and helicopters booked as one seamless chain.
- Pricing — pay in rupees, with GST-ready invoices and no forex surprises.
- One concierge, 24/7 — on WhatsApp throughout your journey.
02. Best time to visit Greece
May – June and September – October · our pick
Warm seas, long light, and the islands at their most beautiful without peak-season crowds. Hotels are 20–35% gentler on the wallet than August.
July – August · peak
Electric atmosphere, best for sailing and beach clubs — also the busiest and priciest weeks. Book 6–9 months ahead for the best villas.
November – April · value
Athens, Delphi and the mainland shine in winter light; islands quiet down. Excellent for museum-rich, city-and-countryside itineraries at attractive prices.

09. Visa, flights & money tips for Indian travellers
Visa
Greece is part of the Schengen area — Indian citizens apply for a Schengen (Type C) visa through the Greece visa application centres in India. Apply 4–6 weeks before travel; we provide a full document pack with your confirmed itinerary, hotel vouchers and cover letters.
Flights
No direct India–Athens flights yet: the smoothest one-stop routings are via Dubai, Doha, Abu Dhabi or Istanbul (10–13 hours total). Business-class fares from ₹1.6L return in low season.
Money
Greece spends in Euros (€). Carry a forex card plus a little cash for tavernas and tips; cards are accepted almost everywhere. Your Elysian Greece journey itself is quoted and billed entirely — that's our promise.
10. Frequently asked questions
How many days are enough for Greece?
Eight nights is the sweet spot — two in Athens plus two islands. Six nights covers Athens + Santorini beautifully; ten or more lets you add Crete or a sailing leg without rushing.
Which is better for a honeymoon — Santorini or Mykonos?
Santorini for romance and views, Mykonos for energy and beaches. Most couples give both two to three nights each, moving by ferry or helicopter.
Is Greece expensive from India?
It can be — or it can be excellent value. Travelling in May, June or September with thoughtfully chosen stays brings a full private package to ₹1.45–2L per person. August luxury villas sit at the top of the range.
Do you arrange everything?
Yes. Every quote, invoice and payment at Elysian Greece is in Indian Rupees — including the on-ground services in Greece. No forex mark-ups, no hidden costs.
Can you handle vegetarian and Jain meals?
Absolutely — and halal, Jain, and gluten-free too. Tell your concierge once; every restaurant, chef and villa on your route will know before you arrive.
How far in advance should we book?
For May–October: 4–6 months for the best villas and suites, 6–9 months for August. We do also craft beautiful journeys at short notice — just ask.
