The only caution I would advise is not to imagine that Greece is a cheap
country. Prices have been rising year on year and I would now estimate
that they are about equivalent to most other European countries.

But prices vary enormously. Expect to pay twice as much for everything on,
for instance, Rhodes (maybe three times as much in a good restaurant) as on
a small nearby island such as Nissiros. I would say that, apart from busy
tourist centres on such as Mykonos or Santorini, prices are still very
reasonable. You should find accommodation for 15 euros a night or so, out
of high season at least.

I haven't been for a couple of years, but last time we were on Crete,
late May, that's approximately what we paid for a nice room (with
facilities, fridge) in Matala. Just got off the bus, walked up a side
street, liked the look of the hotel, and got a room. I'd be interested
to know the cost now.

Athens, I've noticed over about a decade, has gotten much more
expensive.

While accomodation on Santorini is relatively (and understandably)
expensive, the restaurants are still IMO similar in price to those on
less busy islands.
