Greece Travel

Refuse the idea of buying a ticket to Greece, organize yourself an independent trip. And this beautiful country will be opened to you anew.

A good climate, a huge number of historical, cultural and natural attractions encourage travelers to return to Greece again and again. And a large number of islands, a lot of resorts and difficult routes attract more and more tourists every year "- this is how they usually write about Greece in promotional brochures and promotions. And this is the truth! But with pretty cliches, this article will help you develop an independent journey through Greece.

Almost half of tourists who chose to vacation in Greece, prefer to stay in hotels that work on an all-inclusive basis. Although traditionally Greek hotels preferred to offer guests breakfasts or breakfasts and dinners (the fact is that Greek hotels, in most cases are located in places with well-developed infrastructure, where there are taverns and coffee shops, unlike, for example, the secluded hotels of Egypt or Turkey), the latest trends are doing their job and the number of AI hotels in Greece is increasing every year.

Typically, the formula "all inclusive" in Greek hotels applies to food, the use of sun loungers, umbrellas on the beach and the possibility to use water sports without a motor. However, we will not pay attention to these trends. All decent hotels, independent of the class (small family hotels, good "five-stars" or boutique hotels), still offer only breakfast or breakfast + dinner. I will repeat, only decent. Why? Because visiting numerous Greek taverns is one of the main components of the trip through Greece. If you prefer all inclusive - you made a mistake in the country (with a lot of such hotels in Greece).

Surprisingly, the proposal is still in demand - combined tours with a visit to Kastoria and further rest in Halkidiki are still popular with certain segments of the population.

VISIT THE MOST KNOWN HISTORICAL SITES AND LOOK AT THE BEACH

The starting point for traveling through Greece, as a rule, is Athens. And since you are in Europe, do not deny yourself a good shopping:

If a tourist likes to relax on the beach in the immediate vicinity of the party, I recommend the resort of Loutraki, lovers of the mild climate and balanced ecology like Chalkidiki, the discoverers of new tourist areas and those who prefer to rest away from the mass all tourist - I recommend the Peloponnese. If Northern Greece is chosen for the trip, then it's more convenient to fly to Athens rather than Athens, and to Thessaloniki:

RELAXING AMONG GREEN IN THE SOFT CLIMATE

The best option is Halkidiki, you can pick up good options in the west of Crete, in the regions of Rethymno and Chania. Romantics will conquer the island of Corfu. Prices for rest in hotels 3-4 * in Halkidiki and Crete are approximately the same, but still one of the most green regions of Greece is Chalkidiki. The air here is literally filled with healing pine aromas. Corfu Island is an exquisite journey for those who go to Greece not for the first time.

The best option is Crete. The most popular discos of the island are in the town of Malia, here, incidentally, the best beaches on the island - wide and sandy. In Hersonissos there are also many discos and wonderful taverns and restaurants. And those who still want to be closer to the Greek capital will be suitable resort of Loutraki, many believe that it is very similar to the Turkish Marmaris. It will please party people, especially the young, and in the town of Paralia Katerinis in northern Greece - there are a lot of bouzouk and night beach discos. By the way, the most democratic prices for accommodation are offered in this region. The inveterate townspeople can recommend the hotels of Heraklion and Rethymnon in Crete - here it's certainly not necessary to get far from the harsh places. However, the beaches here are also urban.

TWO SEAS AND AMAZING LANDSCAPES

Rhodes is a real island of treasures in the Mediterranean, striking imagination with its historical and cultural attractions. According to legend, he is protected by the god of the Sun Helios - there are more than 300 sunny days per year. In honor of the ancient patron of the city, the Colossus of Rhodes was erected - one of the seven wonders of the world. The island has a unique wind rose - on one side of the island there is almost no wind,On the other, he drives the wave to the shore at an even, steady speed. The island is washed by 2 seas. Aegean in the west and has pebble beaches plus constant waves. The Mediterranean is in the east. There is sand and a calm sea. Accordingly, the east of the island is more suitable for beach holidays,And the West for fans of surfing. Some fans of water games with the wind visit Rhodes several times during the season. In Rhodes there is a place called Parasonisi, it is also called the "kiss of two seas", the Aegean and the Mediterranean. From the mountain you can see how a narrow sandy spit divides the calm sea and the constantly agitated Aegean. Take the car, on Rhodes it's very cheap.

I WANT EVERYTHING AND IMMEDIATELY

Optimal options for the curious and restless - combined routes Athens + regions. To stay in the Greek capital, you can join a cruise on small islands (from 3 days), rest on Peloponenos, Corfu, Rhodes, Crete, Zakynthos, Kefalonia
