Flights

Skyscanner

Skyscanner is always my first choice when searching for flights, as it’s so easy to use and you can search best deals by month. You can also put ‘everywhere’ on your destination and find out the cheapest places to fly by month or on your specific dates.

Momondo

Momondo is another great website similar to Skyscanner for checking flights online. You can also select ‘anywhere’ in the world as a destination and check the cheapest options on your specific dates on a map.

Google Flights

Google Flights is also great for checking the cheapest destinations on a map from your departure airport.

Accommodation

Booking.com 

Booking.com is always my first choice, as it offers great choice of accommodation in affordable prices and it’s so easy to use. 

Airbnb 

It is a great alternative to find out homes and apartments to rent by real homeowners.

HotelsCombined

HotelsCombined is a hotel metasearch engine that allows users to search and compare hotel rates in one search from various websites.

Trivago 

Trivago is another great search engine to check deals from different websites.

TripAdvisor 

TripAdvisor can also be used as a search engine to check deals from different websites; however not as good for checking the actual properties & rooms. 

Car Rental

Skyscanner

I always check Skyscanner for the cheapest car rental options, as it also offers a great selection of filters.

Discover Cars

One of the biggest car rental comparison sites that provides a comprehensive list of car rentals.

Transportation

Rome2rio

A great website to check the best way to get from one point to another, especially good if you are looking for train and bus fares.

Ferryhopper

One of the best websites to check ferry schedules and buy the cheapest ferry tickets while in Greece.

Excursions & Tours

Viator 

Viator provides the most comprehensive list of tours and excursions and you can book directly with them. 

GetYourGuide

This is also a great website to search for tours & activities to do.

Another great website to search for tours & activities to do.

Travel Planning

Google

Google Maps is my first point of contact when I’m searching a new destination, as it provides lots of information and it’s good for planning a road trip.

Google Earth particularly provides an option to display photographs on the map, so you can explore virtually your destination before you go and decide what you want to visit.

Google Travel is also a good place to check the top rated sights for your destination.
