Why are last-minute offers so advantageous?
A perfect 2025 holiday in Skiathos – especially last-minute offers that include flights – helps tour operators sell the remaining packages at the very last moment. Even though they lose part of the margin due to discounts, they secure full occupancy of the charter flight and still keep a small profit from selling a complete package. For travellers, the advantage is even clearer:
- for the same amount of money they get a higher standard of accommodation, because special offers in Skiathos often include mid-range hotels at the price of budget properties;
- the flight and transfer to the hotel are included in the promotional tour price;
- often the package also includes extra bonuses (excursions, free accommodation for children and more).
Saving money: the real advantage of last-minute offers in Skiathos
Travellers who can quickly pack their bags and pay for a Greek island holiday can save 30–40% on the price. For example, packages that were previously available at 1800 euros for two people can be sold for about 1260 euros if purchased 1–3 days before departure. The difference can be spent on entertainment or shopping, but this requires fast preparation for the trip and not being fixated on one specific hotel or beach. You can wait for a convenient last-minute tour to Greece by leaving an open-date request with our managers (on the website you can book Skiathos tours online).
Last-minute offers for family holidays
A last-minute tour to Skiathos from Bucharest can be booked not only by couples, but also by entire families, although certain challenges may appear: there might not be enough seats left. Waiting for the very best offer can backfire if the chosen date doesn’t suit at least one family member. That’s why spontaneous Skiathos trips are especially satisfying when the kids are on school holidays and parents have no strict work commitments. In these conditions you can save a substantial amount of money, which can then be used to enrich your summer holiday in Greece with trips to other Greek islands, visits to waterparks and other attractions on Skiathos.
