Cheapest, easiest way to travel UK, Amsterdam, Italy, Greece?
September 22nd, 2009
I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on the cheapest, easiest ways to travel between the UK, Amsterdam, Italy and Greece?
I am heading over there for 4 weeks in May and would like to spend about a week in each location.
Easyjet and Ryan Air seem to have some cheap flights, but it looks like you can only fly Amsterdam to Milan, and then I’m not quite sure how to get from Italy to Greece.
Any suggestions?
I am not a ‘geographically challenged amercian’ as you put it.
I live in the north west of Australia in a very isolated community, which you have probably never even heard of. The next town is over 600km’s away, so to me Italy to Greece seems like a hop, skip and a jump away.
To be able to fly from one country to another within two hours in Europe seems like a an easy task considering it would take me over 6 hours to fly to Sydney. That is over the three times the flight time between Italy and Greece and I haven’t even left the country! So, no, I don’t think my travel plans are excessive, nor my question stupid, thank you very much! You, my friend, are the one that seems ‘geographically challenged’.

try which has a lot of the cheap european airlines(including raynair/easyjet etc).
Cheapest might be bus..but its the slowest and while you think 4 weeks is a long time it will go fast! A week in Amsterdam seems way too long as its not a large city and 2 days would be ample there…I had just under 2 weeks in Italy and that was only central/northern Italy ( verona, venice (2nights), Sienna, Rome (3) Florence (3) and Bologna and found I still needed more time for some places and missed out on other places I wanted to go. It may seem small but there is a lot packed into Europe!
Anyway for buses, which sometimes have cheap bus trips try. I travelled from London to Dublin for around 16 pounds..that was a 12hr bus ride. If you get the night ones you can sleep on the bus and save acccomodation and save on travel time ( which when you are travelling around a lot like you are will become annoying at times as all you want to do is GET there and explore.)
There are also ferrys I think from Italy …say around Bari which I know go to Croatia ( where I went to and it was lovely) but also go to Greece ( where I never went) and might be an option, but I can’t remember the name..just do a search on the net.
Anyway cobber have a great time..try to focus on some areas and explore them well which will increase your enjoyment of an area, see it better, remember it better ( than a fleeting view you experience it) and save on the relentless travel. Italy is wonderful, UK has some neat things, Amsterdam is small and I never saw Greece….
