Here's how to save money:

• Travel in the shoulder seasons (May-June or September-October) for lower prices on airfare and accommodations.
• Choose villages that are inland (e.g., Pyrgos, Kamari, Perissa) for more affordable lodging and a taste of local life.
• Use the bus system rather than renting a car or taking taxis.
• Dine at local tavernas and bakeries, avoiding areas with heavy tourism.
