While popular Greek destinations like Athens and the islands steal the spotlight, the city of Argos is quietly emerging as a must-visit destination for budget-conscious travelers.

Located in the heart of the Peloponnese peninsula, Argos is one of the oldest continually inhabited cities in the world, with a history dating back thousands of years.

According to legend, Argos was once ruled by the son of Zeus himself. Today, visitors can explore the city's impressive archaeological treasures, including the ancient theater, prehistoric castle, and the sixth-century BC Roman Agora, all without the crowds that plague many of Greece's top sights.

Argos offers a chance to experience the authentic spirit of Greece, with balmy Mediterranean weather, charming local markets, and a leisurely pace perfect for wandering and taking in the city's rich history. With an average one-bed Airbnb rental of just £38 ($49) and pints for around £3.66 ($4.80), Argos is one of the most budget-friendly destinations in Europe.

Beyond Argos, the list of the 14 cheapest cities to visit in Europe in 2025 includes:

  5. Český Krumlov, Czech Republic
  6. Bucharest, Romania
  7. Hull, UK
