Money-Saving Tips
Eat at local tavernas and traditional restaurants outside tourist centers for typically 40-60% savings compared to tourist-area dining
Use public buses and shared transport instead of private taxis to save 70-80% on transportation costs
Book accommodation directly with properties or during off-season periods for potential 20-40% discounts
Take advantage of free hiking trails and natural attractions instead of paid tours to reduce activity costs by 60-90%
Shop at local markets and grocery stores for snacks and drinks rather than tourist shops where prices are typically 100-200% higher
Travel during shoulder season months when accommodation and tour prices typically drop 25-45%
Common Budget Mistakes to Avoid
Staying only in the capital city center where accommodation costs are typically 50-100% higher than surrounding areas or smaller towns
Eating exclusively at restaurants in main tourist squares where meal prices are generally 80-150% above local neighborhood spots
Taking taxis for all transportation instead of learning the public bus system, which costs 3-5 times more per journey
