Winter weather can vary, some days are mild and sunny, while others are cooler with rain. Average temperatures are around 55°F, but warmer days in the 70s can occur. Freezing temperatures are rare except in mountainous areas, where snow is possible. Rain is more common in winter, while summers are typically very dry.

Is the water in Greece drinkable?

In most places, tap water is safe to drink. However, if you prefer filtered or bottled water, it is widely available. On some islands, the water may have a salty taste due to mineral content, so bottled water is often preferred. In cities like Athens, the tap water is high quality.

Are there in some hotels waste-baskets because you can't flush toilet-paper down the toilet?

Yes, this is common in many places, especially on the islands. Due to older plumbing systems and narrow pipes, toilet paper is often disposed of in bins instead of being flushed. In newer or higher-end hotels, especially in Athens, flushing may be allowed.

What is the currency?

Greece uses the euro as its official currency. It’s helpful to have some cash upon arrival, though ATMs are widely available and usually offer the best exchange rates.

Tap water is safe in most cities and larger towns. However, on some islands and in smaller villages, bottled water is recommended. Be mindful of plastic use and recycle when possible.

What is the tipping culture in Greece?

Tipping is appreciated but not required. A tip of around 5%–15% is typical depending on the level of service. It’s best to give tips in cash directly to staff, as they may not receive tips added to credit card payments.

I don't speak Greek. Can I get around on my own?

Yes, English is widely spoken, especially in tourist areas and among younger people. Road signs in cities are often bilingual. Learning a few basic Greek phrases is appreciated and can enhance your experience.

Our Happy Clients

All the details were taken care of. Our tour guide was personable, knows the history and all of the interesting facts, entertaining, and gracious. This is our first tour with Evolution35, but it won’t be our last. We are already planning our next trip to Italy with them.

- Stefan and Molly

Our Happy Clients

I was very pleased with the service that I received from evolution35 travel company. Our 9 day trip to Cancún was wonderful time in this beautiful country. The resorts that evolution35 chose for our stay were all wonderful! Evolution35 people was in constant communication with us via email and WhatsApp asking how the trip was going and if we had any concerns or requests and when I did have a request they responded immediately and took care of it. Everything including tours and transportation were taken care of for us so it was very relaxing knowing we did not have to think about anything except when and where we were going next. Evolution35 also worked hard to ensure that we have a wonderful time during our stay in Cancun an that we return home safe. We are planing a trip to Costa Rica with Evolution35 in October.

- Jose Ruiz

Our Happy Clients

The Paris 99 trip was great. We enjoyed the driving tour of Paris, although we did fall asleep a few times as we were tired from the overnight flight from SLC. Our guide, Pedro, provided excellent information on the history of Paris and the sites we saw. The tour of Versailles was excellent, but we do wish we could have spent a little more time there. The Eifel Tower was amazing but felt a little rushed. The dinner on the Seine was excellent. Thank you for a great trip.

- Richard Leake

Our Happy Clients

Evolution35 Paris tour was an unforgettable experience. Our tour guide, Pedro, was spectacular. He is very knowledgeable and personable. He treated us like family. The tour was a happy balance between guided sightseeing tours and free time. We had so much fun that we can't wait to see what other tours Evolution35 offer.

- Kenneth S Davis

Our Happy Clients

We did the Costa Rica trip and it was incredible. Zipline, rainforest, boat rides, catamaran. It
was soooo much trip for the money. Loved the hotel Tabacón with the hot springs and the
Westin was also 5 star! You go from the Carribean side to the Pacific. It's the trip of a
lifetime. Well done evolution35

- Jason Shamy

Our Happy Clients

- ANALIS CARATTINI-RUIZ

Our Happy Clients

Fantastic trip to Paris with Evolution 35. Between booking our trip and the time we left, we had lots of questions and they were always so quick to respond to our emails. It was so wonderful that they took care of many details of our trip for us, especially the first couple of days as we were getting oriented in a foreign place! Our tour guide was hilarious and knowledgeable. He helped us stay safe and have a lot of fun too! A great experience for us!

Our Happy Clients

Contacté con esta empresa gracias a una amiga. La relación calidad/precio me ha parecido
excelente. La atención durante la contratación del viaje fue muy buena y rápida.
Solucionaron todas nuestras dudas, que eran muchas, con paciencia y acierto. La propuesta
que finalmente contratamos ha sido ideal para una primera vez en Hawaii, nos ha permitido
vivir la tranquilidad de la isla y hacer rutas por los parques naturales. En la llegada a Maui no
reubicaron a un apartahotel mejor en una zona diferente a la inicial que resultó ser un gran
acierto, dado que íbamos en familia, y facilitó nuestra estancia. Si podemos volver en el
futuro para conocer las otras islas, seguro que repetimos con ellos. ¡Gracias!
