Arrival fee - new disembarkation fee in Greece

From July 1, 2025, Greece is introducing a new fee for ship passengers who will disembark in Greek ports. This is important information for tourists planning cruises around the Greek islands. Disembarkation rates will depend on the season and location. The highest fees will apply to Santorini and Mykonos.

Cruise ship in the port of Souda

The new fee, the so-called "arrival fee", will be charged for each disembarkation at a given port. It will be paid by passengers on all cruises, both those organized by travel agencies and those on individual trips. Only the crew of the ships will be exempt from the fee. Some cruise lines may automatically add the fee to the cost of the ticket - it is worth checking this when booking.

The fee, which will come into force next Tuesday, will be charged per person and per port, regardless of the length of stay or the form of disembarkation (e.g. by support boat).

Tourists in Crete count every euro

Although Crete remains one of the most popular tourist destinations, it is clear that the global economic crisis has changed the habits and priorities of visitors. In the past, many tourists came to Greece with a more relaxed attitude towards money, treating their holidays as a time for free spending. A clear change has occurred during the post-pandemic crisis, and thrifty holiday budgeting has become the norm. Tourists are primarily concerned with value for money and are planning their trips with greater caution.

Ticket price hikes to Spinalonga have halved the number of tourists

A month ago we reported on the introduction of a large increase in the price of tickets to one of Crete's biggest tourist attractions - Spinlonga, the former leper island. At the beginning of April, tickets went up from 8 to 20 euros, now it turns out that the drastic increase in prices has significantly reduced the number of visitors to this place.

The extraordinary beach of Kedrodasos

Kedrodasos is, in our opinion, one of the most beautiful Cretan beaches. Although it is located just a kilometer from Elafonissi, it is still a wild place without tourist hustle and bustle and beach infrastructure. Although Kedrodasos is still outside the area of interest of mass tourism, it is impossible not to notice that its popularity is slowly growing.

For more information on this stunningly beautiful place, check out this article . You can also see Kedrodasos in this video by Theofilos Bamboulis on Point of View GR.

A difficult start to the season for Cretan rescue services

From the beginning of 2025 to mid-June, 27 rescues were carried out on Cretan trails. 18 people were injured and 4 people unfortunately died from their injuries. Most of the people who needed help on the trails were hikers who ignored the weather conditions and their own fatigue, or underestimated the difficulty of the route. The majority of rescues took place in canyons, mountains and on isolated trails, and only one incident involved a beach in Crete.

Czas na Grecję  Ale to chyba nie dotyczy regularnych rejsów promami jak np Blue Star Ferries? Nigdzie nie mogę znaleźć tej informacji
Christian Arnidis - Moja Grecja  Dla wysp dobrze, bo tłumy z wycieczkowców odstraszają turystów, którzy pojechali na wakacje. Nie zostawiają grosza, a robią tłok. Wiele osób rezygnuje z wycieczki na Santorini, bo wyspa jest zapchana przez gości z wielkich wycieczkowców.
 A co na lotniskach ?
gość PiotrWie  Nie niestety a na szczęście bo by tłumy były cały rok. My byliśmy na Cykladach od 10 kwietnia do 4 czerwca na koniec maja wyraźnie zaczęło ludzi przybywać. Pojedziemy z powrotem we wrześniu - jako emeryci mamy czas. Tym razem chcemy jechać samochodem - porównanie kosztów samolot+ wypożyczenie samochodu vs dojazd samochodem do miesiąca jest na korzyść pierwszej wersji, potem - już drugiej. (...)
 Samolot tanich linii, samochód z greckiej wypożyczalni, kwatery wynajęte od lokalsów, wszelkie wycieczki samodzielnie wymyślone i zorganizowane. Unikamy wszelkiej maści pośredników. Wyjazdy nigdy w sezonie. Nawet nie chodzi o oszczędności, tak nam pasuje. W tawernach za to nie oszczędzamy ani trochę. A w temacie wejściówek do "atrakcji", to bardzo wybiórczo traktuję temat. (...)
 Turysta zmieni kierunek, zarobi Turek
 Ceny wejściówek mocno podrożały w tym roku, znieśli wiele zniżek (choćby bilet combo w Atenach). Cóż nie każdy zapłaci 10 czy 20 EUR za wejściówkę, która rok temu kosztowala 3-8eur. Różnica mocno odczuwalna, zwłaszcza przy rodzinnym zwiedzaniu.
Christian Arnidis - Moja Grecja  Reasonable Price to clue wydatków .
 Może już zostawmy reklamowanie spokojnych zakątków na Krecie, bo już niedługo ich nie będzie
 Brawo
