  • Fuel prices in Greek islands are reaching extreme levels, with some areas seeing prices over 2.5 euros per liter.
  • The high cost of fuel adds to the already significant expenses of ferry tickets, accommodation, and food for tourists.
  • Cyclades and Dodecanese regions are particularly affected, with prices for unleaded gasoline and diesel exceeding 2 euros per liter.

Tourists heading to Greece's islands face a double blow this summer, with soaring fuel prices compounding the already high costs of travel and accommodation. In popular island destinations like Symi and Kimolos, a liter of gasoline is costing over 2.5 euros. Santorini, Milos, and Paros are not far behind, with prices hovering around 2.45 euros per liter.

The situation is particularly acute in the Cyclades, where the average price for unleaded gasoline and diesel has surpassed 2.2 euros per liter. High-octane fuel is even more expensive, reaching 2.46 euros. Schinoussa island is experiencing prices of 2.4 euros for unleaded gasoline.

In the Dodecanese and Lesvos regions, prices for unleaded gasoline and diesel are close to 2.1 euros per liter, with premium fuel exceeding 2.3 euros. Travelers planning trips to these island paradises are advised to fill up their tanks before departing to mitigate the impact of these elevated fuel costs.
