			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.greekisland-hopping.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/mortosview.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2539" title="mortosview" src="http://www.greekisland-hopping.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/mortosview.jpg" alt="Backpackers watching the Sunset over Corfu" width="504" height="337" /></a>Thousands of tourists flock to Greece every year. So if you plan to take a Greece vacation, without spending too much money here are four great ideas.</p>
<p><!--google_ad_section_start-->First, check which airline have the best fares.  If travelling from America <a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-3434400-10644986target=_top">Expedia.com</a> and <a href="http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-3434400-10463546target=_top">Lastminute.com</a> provide the most comprehensive price comparison lists of flights that cover all trans-Atlantic routes.</p>
<p>If you’re located within Europe EasyJet operate direct flights to the Greek island from most major European destinations. If you book early <span id="more-2531"></span>you’ll get the best bargains. Their route map can be found here <a href="http://www.easyjet.com/asp/EN/routemap/" target="_blank">http://www.easyjet.com/asp/EN/routemap/</a></p>
<p>However, there is a relatively new price comparison travel website that specializes in ‘Low Cost Airlines’ called <a href="http://scripts.affiliatefuture.com/AFClick.asp?affiliateID=168929&amp;merchantID=2319&amp;programmeID=6368&amp;mediaID=39946&amp;tracking=&amp;url=" target="_blank">WeGoLo.com</a></p>
<p>WeGoLo compares all of Europe’s low cost airlines on one page. Their price comparison site regularly undercuts the more notable price comparison travel sites. They even provide quotes for trans-Atlantic crossings.</p>
<p>Once your airfare has been taken cared of, the next most important thing is accommodation. Trying to find a place to stay for free is next to impossible unless you have a friend living in the area. If you don’t know anyone in Greece, look online because there are websites that allow homeowners to rent their spare rooms directly to tenants. <a href="http://www.gumtree.com/cgi-bin/list_postings.pl?search_terms=athens&amp;posting_cat=2548">Gumtree.com</a> is very popular with travellers and is frequently used by homeowners seeking a temporary extra income.<!--google_ad_section_end--></p>
<p>If you are not able to get a place online, try doing what backpackers have done throughout Europe and that is to sleep in various campsites.  <a href="http://www.gocamping.gr/map.as">Greek Camping Directory </a> is a good place to start. Simple 3 man Eurohike dome tents used for couples are ideal as they start around £40.00 and can be bough cheeply online at the <a href="http://www.greekisland-hopping.com/store/category/tents/3/" target="_blank">Greek Island Hopping store</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.greekisland-hopping.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/pargacamping.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-2541" title="pargacamping" src="http://www.greekisland-hopping.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/pargacamping.jpg" alt="Parga Campsite" width="504" height="337" /></a>Some people prefer not to stay in a campsite and if you’re one of them, try to rent a room in a village or near the port. You’ll save a great deal of money instead of staying in a hotel. The best part is that, you can easily get food from the local restaurants so forget about the fast food restaurants that you are accustomed to back home.</p>
<p>There are times that someone will even invite you to stay in his or her establishment. Just check how much it will cost and try to negotiate because they sometimes give in to your price.</p>
<p>The various sights to see in Greece are far apart. If you don’t want to spend for a cab, taxi or rent a car, why not rent a bike? You can get to almost every place in Greece by bicycle.</p>
<p>Everyone has an idea of what a Greece vacation should be. While how much you are willing to spend for it is always high on the agenda you don’t have to spend a lot to get what you want.</p>
<p>These recommendations will really be helpful as long as you are willing to make some sacrifices. You just have to do some research to make it happen.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1800" title="redsunset" src="http://www.greekisland-hopping.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/redsunset.jpg" alt="Sailing ship at anchor with red sunset" width="504" height="337" />Greece is known for being a romantic destination.  The Greek islands are the ideal travel destination for a romantic Greece vacation, celebration, honeymoon, anniversary or weddings.  From the awe-inspiring sunsets of Santorini to the peaceful opportunity to escape to a world where feelings blossom with ease.</p>
<p>A lot of couples have decided to tie the knot in Greece.  <span id="more-1799"></span>Many people are choosing Greece as a wedding destination because it offers some of the most magical and mystical views, with incredible festivals seemingly every month of the year and some of the world’s most breathtaking sunsets while being reasonably priced.</p>
<p>But to get married in Greece there are some legalities that should be taken care of.  Couples are required to present birth certificates that have translated into Greek and that carry an apostille stamp.</p>
<p>Apostille stamp is the seal placed on documents that are used abroad.  Letters of No Impediment, also sealed with an apostille stamp stating that both are free to legally marry.  This would serve as the marriage license.</p>
<p>After finishing of the formalities and the technical aspects of the wedding, then the planning for the wedding and the actual ceremony starts.  To make guided and well-informed decisions, then it would be better to hire a wedding consultant in Greece.  Getting a local consultant will help you decide on the locations and other aspects of the wedding.</p>
<p><!--google_ad_section_start-->Wedding consultants in Greece are pretty much affordable.  There are many affordable services that handle all of the paperwork and offer packages for Civil Ceremonies, Catholic Ceremonies, Gay Ceremonies as well as Greek Orthodox.</p>
<p>Locations are certainly breathtaking, since there are great places with extraordinary ocean views and amazing sunset.  For those who are adventurous, then there are weddings<!--google_ad_section_end--> that can be performed on Mount Olympus.</p>
<p>Santorini is among the most popular venues for weddings. It is easy to comprehend why. What could be more mystical than exchanging vows in the shadow of a volcano overlooking the clear blue sea?</p>
<p>Then there’s Paxos a small Island, a world away from its larger cousin Corfu only miles to its north. Paxos is famed for its Olive Oil, sunsets and clear blue water that has a reputation equal to anywhere in the Mediterranean.</p>
