# How to Get from Greece to Bali

The most common way to get from Greece to Bali is to book flights from Athens to Jakarta – the capital of Indonesia – and then fly on to Denpasar, Bali's airport.

The flight from Athens to Jakarta, including layovers, usually takes 15 hours, while the domestic flight from Jakarta to Bali is approximately 1.5 hours.

You can find cheap flights and company offers through Travelo.gr, and prices vary significantly depending on the season you travel.

The earlier you book your trip, the more economical prices you'll find!

# When to Visit Bali

Bali has a tropical climate with temperatures ranging from 25-30°C all year round. The island essentially has two main seasons: the wet season and the dry season. The dry season lasts from April to October, while the wet season runs from November to March.

If you want to avoid the possibility of rain throughout your trip, the best time to visit Bali is during the dry season. This is also the island's high season, with prices being higher and availability tending towards zero.

If you don't mind the possibility of rain during your trip and want to save money, then the wet season might be the ideal time for you to visit Bali!

Here we should point out that during this period, you might even encounter a typhoon!

# How Much Will Your Trip to Bali Cost?

The cost of your trip will depend on several factors, such as the season you choose to travel, the accommodation you book, and the activities you do on the island.

Flights from Athens will cost you somewhere between 700-1200€. Accommodation starts from 20€ per night for a budget room and goes up to several hundred euros for a luxurious villa with a private pool!

Food in Bali is reasonably priced, with an average meal costing 8-15€ per person, while for example, a beer costs only 3€.

The cost of activities varies depending on what you choose, with some costing just a few euros, such as temple entry and cooking classes, while others, like rafting, cost much more.

Overall, you can have a great time even with relatively little money, provided you do good research and choose your activities in advance.

 

# Do I Need Any Vaccinations to Visit Bali?

Beyond the general vaccination schedule, it's advisable to consult a specialist doctor about whether you need any specific vaccinations for the period you're visiting Bali.

You might be advised to get vaccinated for Hepatitis B, Rabies, and Japanese Encephalitis.

It's important to know that Indonesia, including Bali, is a country with a high risk of malaria transmission. For this reason, you should discuss with your doctor whether you need to carry malaria medication and if you should take other precautions to prevent mosquito bites, such as insect repellent or wearing long sleeves and trousers.
