Accommodation in Greece
PLEASE NOTE: Accommodation for the islands can be booked via Mybusabout from February 1st 2008.
Accommodation in Athens and on the Greek Islands can be guaranteed by pre-booking through the MyBusabout section of our website. We have selected a hostel, budget hotel or campsite on each island, which can be pre-booked via our website - you'll be required to pay a 10% deposit online, and the balance is paid when you get there. While accommodation on the islands can be arranged locally by the Busabout guide, availability is limited, particularly in July and August, and you may not have a wide choice as to the type of room that you stay in.
Prices will vary throughout the season and are dependent on both the time of the year and the type of room. Private rooms will be more expensive than shared dorm-style accommodation. Prices below are provided as guidelines - specific prices depend on the exact dates and room type and can be accessed through MyBusabout once you have purchased your ticket.
