Travelling responsibly in Greece
How can you reduce risks by traveling responsibly?
- Respect the environment: Don't leave garbage behind and follow the marked trails.
- Respect local culture and customs: Learn a few basic phrases in Croatian and dress appropriately.
- Support the local economy: Choose local establishments for your accommodation, meals and shopping.
- Be responsible towards flora and fauna: observe animals from a distance and respect species protection rules.
- Eco-friendly travel: Greece is famous for its charming seaside towns. Greece has an extensive public bus network. They serve even the smallest villages. Trains can be an alternative when they exist. For inter-island connections, use ferries rather than fast boats.
- Respect for cultural sites: Many sites in Greece are ancient and fragile. Be sure to follow the rules, such as not touching works of art or monuments, and dispose of your garbage in the appropriate garbage cans.
