Hostels are surely the perfect solution for budget accommodation, but maybe you can try camping out for a few days of your journey to save even more money.

Preparing your meals at your hostel will save you a lot of money, and it is also a perfect way to meet young people and make new friends.
Entertainment
Bars and clubs, which are located around famous tourist sites, are expensive. Have a drink in your hostel with the other travellers, take a bier from the super market and drink it in the park or choose a lesser known bar in a district where locals hang out. Greece allows public drinking that in combination with the sunny weather is a top choice for entertainment on a budget. Locals can reveal you the things that are free in your destination. Parks, window-shopping and free sightseeing tours or museums are only some of your options to spend cheap vacations and have fun at the same time.
Food
Having a snack between breakfast and lunch or dinner will help you have energy during sightseeing. Even in the cheapest countries, it is expensive to stop in a cafe or restaurant every two hours and eat something. However, you can easilysave money by bringing from home your own protein bars or buying a sandwich in the super market.
Transportation
Sometimes, you may think that taxi is the only solution, but it is not. Don’t take a taxi, walk! Taxis are expensive even in Greece, while walking is good for your health, body and mind as well as for your budget. On foot, you can explore the historical center of the new city that you have visited. If your destination is too far to walk, you can take public transport, such as bus or subway. In Greece, the bus ticket costs less than 2€.
