How to Support the Locals in your Greek Summer Vacation!

Discover the impact of small gestures your visit can have on the local ecosystem


Visit the smaller Islands & The less Touristic Gems the Country has to offer


Popular destinations can have a positive impact on the local economy, but they can also lead to higher prices, overcrowding, and a loss of authenticity. High demand can drive up prices, making it difficult for both visitors and residents to afford essential goods and services. During peak seasons, overcrowding can strain infrastructure, leading to congestion and longer wait times. Commercialization also poses a risk of diluting the unique local charm and traditions, potentially offering a less authentic experience for travelers.


Visiting smaller islands and local fishing villages allows travelers to immerse themselves in the authentic culture, support local livelihoods, and promote sustainability. Choosing small-scale eateries and participating in local experiences fosters a deeper connection with the destination and its people. This decision contributes to the economic well-being of the area and helps create a more sustainable and inclusive tourism industry.


Buy & Order Greek Products


It's the small things, really!


When looking to switch things up from the usual big international brands, consider exploring the world of delicious Greek products that can add a unique flair to your dining experience. Opt for a refreshing Greek fizzy drink like Epsa or Loux, known for its distinct flavors and quality ingredients. By inquiring about these products at restaurants, you not only show a genuine interest in trying something new but also support the idea of incorporating Greek offerings into the culinary scene.


In your daily shopping, consider visiting the local farmers' market for fresh fruits and vegetables. You can also ask your hotel or Airbnb host for more information.



Promote the country, promote the locals, directly


By sharing your positive experiences and highlighting the beauty of our country's landscapes, attractions, and local products, you can help others discover and appreciate the wonders that our destination has to offer. Your recommendations are invaluable in promoting tourism and fostering a greater appreciation for the natural and cultural riches that make our country truly special.
