Where is the best place to stay to see everything?
Hello! We want to fly with my wife in July on vacation to Greece, but the question arose with the choice of a resort. We don’t really like staying in Hotels, so we are interested in a convenient point from which you can easily get to the main attractions of Greece, we are interested in the most basic Ancient sights. Our budget is about 1400 euros for two, I would like some relatively inexpensive hotel, but to have the opportunity to go to the beach a couple of times.

I considered this option initially, but I think it will not work, because. it is difficult to get even to Athens, which you want to see.

And you will take the machine or by public transport. And then the main ancient places of world scale are so normally scattered throughout Greece.
For example, Olympia (not Olympus!) Is located in the western part of the Peloponnese and it’s a little tiring to go there, but we didn’t really like the sea there (from Patras to Olympia, it’s a plain, small, like that). Delphi is not on the sea (well, there is a sea nearby, but it is also not so hot). Meteors are not at sea.
Epidaurus and Mycenae are close to each other, not very far from Athens (if by car), Cape Sounion is also not far away, Namfplio too.
We ourselves lived in Loutraki, but swam there only once or twice, mostly traveled by car through antiquities and fell to the sea along the way.
I really liked Loutraki because it is a large bay, but the location is quite convenient - near Corinth, the Corinth Canal, the temple of Hera, the salt lake Vulyameni is very close. Well, in general, I liked it in the Namplion area, it’s cool there, although we didn’t manage to live there, we were passing through for a day.
If Loutraki is suitable, then I wrote a review about the Ilion hotel, which is 2 *, modestly. About 50 euros double. The sea is nearby.

I highly recommend that you take a narrow-gauge train along the Kalavryta-Dyakofto route, through a mountain gorge! There are videos of the trip on youtube. I really liked it! Although the place is not the most hyped

This is a hotel review. It must be understood that this is an economy option for active tourists. There is no darkness of staff, a huge selection of food and services. Performs its functions.
There, above, I wrote a little wrong, I missed an important "NOT" - Loutraki is NOT for me! really liked it because it is a big bay

In your way of thinking, you need the Peloponnese - and from there you can see the whole mainland.

IMHO, Paralia Katerini. Not far from Meteor, Edessa, Dion, Olympus, Kastoria, Thessaloniki.

Athens, on the other hand, is far away and other main ancient mastsi. Halkidiki, IMHO, is not at all suitable for the purposes of a topicaster.

And where will it be better on the mainland or the islands (Crete, Rhodes). I mean where the landscapes are more beautiful, excursions are more interesting, the water is more transparent and the air is cleaner chtoli)))))

Landscapes are more beautiful on the mainland, and the farther inland (from the sea), the more beautiful and the more diverse. Halkidiki, Rhodes are somewhat dull, but the beaches and seals are better there. If you need active excursions, then the mainland is more convenient.
Well, you won’t fly / swim from Rhodes to Athens, Olympia or Delphi?

Cheaper and easier, of course, to Crete. But then you will see, in fact, only him, and there is not so much of the world's epic left. Rhodes is almost Turkey. Well, there is no Greek flavor there. And nature, as in the Crimea.
The water is clearer, where there is a rocky bottom and sea urchins))) It is rare that a wife will exchange a comfortable entry on the sand for sharp stones and rubber slippers for swimming))) Water and air are good everywhere in Greece!
