Escapes for Easter are an option for a few this year since the high costs of fuel, tolls and transportation make travel prohibitive.
Exit with “fire” fuels
This year’s Easter holidays are very expensive with fuel prices as the main negative factor. Speaking to Action24 this morning, the president of the gas station operators, Nikos Papageorgiou, emphasized that the average price is 2 euros, while in some areas it reaches 2.20 euros per liter.
Indicatively, some prices are mentioned in a MEGA report:
- Athens: €2,039 (unleaded) – €1,702 (Diesel),
- Milos: €2.4 (unleaded) – €2.020 (Diesel),
- Crete: €2,180 (unleaded) – €1,840 (Diesel).
Of course, if you are planning a trip by car, in addition to fuel, you should also factor in the cost of tolls, which are not negligible. Some of the most popular Easter destinations are indicated.
