Life after lockdown: Best holiday destination for this summer

Greece has taken COVID-19 very seriously since the beginning of the year and has seen success in its efforts to ‘flatten the curve’. Actually, it managed to lift its restrictions on travel to the Greek islands on Monday, May 25 and it will gradually de-escalate a series of additional measures.

As the weather heats up, we are expecting to see more tourists travelling around Europe during the summer months and it is evident that people are starting to dream about their next vacation and make plans again. The criteria for many of the tourists have significantly changed as to which destinations to choose and security seems to have the priority.

So, which country to choose? Many of us are hankering for somewhere familiar and reassuring, a country we have come to know and love, where happy holidays are guaranteed and it is also well organized so as to cope with any kind of crisis. A place where the sun always shines, and which doesn’t involve a long flight. This country, is indisputably Greece.

Greece has a variety of sustainable tourism destinations committed to respect the environment and maintain local employment. People are avoiding large hotel complexes with more than 500 rooms and prefer to book a tourist apartment, villa, B&B, guesthouse, or a medium-sized hotel.

Samos Island is an unspoilt destination that stays warm through the end of October. Merge yourselves in nature, unpretentious food and accommodation, quiet beaches, walks through green, mountainous interiors, and a complete removal from the stresses of modern life. Come discover this rich historical past, an island where Mathematics and Astronomy were born, a place where natural beauty and history intersect in a magical way.

So what are you waiting for? Consider that air quality is up to three times higher in Samos than in central London and the population density on this Greek island is 23 times lower than the population density in Paris!

What you need to know and what you have to pay attention to, in order to choose the best Athens Car Rental Deal.

What is included in your car rental price?

It is very important to have all the information regarding the insurance and services that are included in your car rental price. Very often, you realize that in some rent a car websites this information is not very clear. As a result, they tend to give you a very low initial rental price which is subject to additional charges and fees. When the day of the car rental arrives, they require higher amounts with the excuse that the price written on the booking voucher is not the final price. Subsequently, you end up paying a higher price than initially expected. For this reason, it is very important to choose a rent a car company that has no hidden charges and its terms and conditions are clearly stated. In Aramis Rent a Car Athens we have no hidden charges and we clearly state the terms and conditions of the car rentals.

In our prices we include:

  • Collision Damage Waiver (C.D.W.) and Theft Waiver (T.W.) insurance.
  • Fire insurance.
  • Unlimited kilometers.
  • Additional driver.
  • Pickup and collection at Athens Airport.
  • Daily round the clock road service.

A) The kind of insurance provided to you by the rent a car company.

Therefore, you must carefully check your current insurance status and possibly request for an additional insurance in order to be fully covered. If the company offers you C.D.W. insurance, check the amount up to which your responsibility is limited. Take also a look at the extra insurances you can purchase and which are their advantages.

B) Check whether you have free unlimited kilometers from the very first day of your rental. If the company doesn’t provide you with unlimited kilometers, then you must carefully calculate the amount you will pay for your extra kilometers.  Aramis Rent a Car provides to all its clients unlimited kilometers for FREE.

C) Be sure that the additional driver is offered for free. Some rent a car companies charge you an extra amount of money for the additional driver. In Aramis Rent a Car the additional driver is already included in the car rental price.

The 3 best fall getaways for 2019

ΠΡΟΟΡΙΣΜΟΙ ΓΙΑ ΤΟ 2019

Ο Σεπτέμβρης σηματοδοτεί το τέλος των καλοκαιρινών διακοπών αλλά όχι και το τέλος της διασκέδασης. Σας προτείνουμε 3 φθινοπωρινούς προορισμούς γύρω από την Αθήνα που δεν έχουν τίποτα να ζηλέψουν από τα ομορφότερα ελληνικά νησιά!

  1. Ναύπλιο 

Βρισκόμαστε στο νομό Αργολίδος, σε έναν από τους ομορφότερους παραδοσιακούς οικισμούς της Ελλάδας. Το Ναύπλιο είναι γνωστό για το Μπούρτζι (μικρό φρούριο χτισμένο μέσα στο λιμάνι), για το Παλαμήδι (ενετικό φρούριο) για την Ακροναυπλία (ενετικό φρούριο και τόπος δολοφονίας του Ιωάννη Καποδίστρια) και τα παραδοσιακά του δρομάκια που μας ταξιδεύουν σε μια άλλη εποχή. Αν είστε λάτρεις της καλής ελληνικής κουζίνας, της θάλασσας και της ιστορίας, τότε το Ναύπλιο είναι το μέρος που ψάχνετε για μια γρήγορη απόδραση από την Αθήνα.

 

 

2. Αίγινα

Μια ανάσα από το λιμάνι του Πειραιά βρίσκεται η Αίγινα, το δεύτερο μεγαλύτερο νησί του Αργοσαρωνικού και ιδανικός προορισμός για όλους εκείνους που θέλουν να δώσουν μια παράταση στις καλοκαιρινές τους διακοπές. Το νησί παρουσιάζει σημαντικά αξιοθέατα όπως ο ναός της Αφαίας, η Παλαιοχώρα, τα υπολείμματα του ναού του Ελλανίου Διός, ο προϊστορικός οικισμός της Κολώνας, ο Πύργος του Μαρκέλλου, η Μητρόπολη, το Μουσείο του Καπράλου, το Λαογραφικό Μουσείο και το Αρχαιολογικό Μουσείο. Πολύ γνωστές παραλίες του νησιού είναι ο Μαραθώνας και η Αγία Μαρίνα.

 

 

3. Καρπενήσι

Ιδανικός προορισμός για τους λάτρεις της φύσης και της παραδοσιακής ελληνικής κουζίνας είναι το Καρπενήσι. Στο κέντρο της Ελλάδας, περιτριγυρισμένο από δάση και ψηλά βουνά, προσφέρει μια μοναδική εμπειρία περιήγησης, δράσης και περιπέτειας, ξεκούρασης και χαλάρωσης, 365 μέρες το χρόνο. Όλα αυτά μόλις 4 ώρες από την Αθήνα!
