GREECE DESTINATIONS THAT YOU CAN VISIT

Athens

Athens is one of the best places to visit in Greece. Now the ancient city of Athens is recognized by its modern subways, spotless streets, well-manicured parks, remarkable freeways, and ultra-warm people. The extraordinary melting pot of mythology and modernism, it is a city that boasts of stunning modern architecture as well as striking historical monuments. From the pillars of the Acropolis to the Temple of Zeus, places to visit in Athens are endless!

 

Santorini

Santorini is a beautiful island in the Cyclades. It is famous for its picturesque caldera and amazing beaches, as well as being one of the most popular tourist destinations in Greece. It’s one of the best places for skydiving in Greece and is known for its phenomenal beauty, along with its cosy homes and little bistros. There are several ancient monasteries, churches, cathedrals, monuments and buildings that add to the character of this place. It’s one must visit place in Greece; one where you should set foot at least once in your lifetime.

 

Crete

The list of best places to visit in Greece is incomplete without a mention of Crete. The largest island in Greece, Crete is known for its interesting Greek archaeological sites and heritage monuments. However, you cannot disregard its beauty; it’s also one of the safest places to visit in Greece! The climate on Crete varies depending on where you go but generally speaking it can be quite hot during summer months (June – August).

There are also plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking and biking on Crete’s dramatic mountain ranges or coastal paths.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step.

Sifnos 

Sifnos is a small island in the Aegean Sea, south of mainland Greece. It has a population of about 4,000 and it is one of the Cyclades islands. Sifnos was not very popular as a tourist destination until recently because there were no big hotels or luxury resorts on the island. But nowadays it attracts many tourists from all over Europe because it offers beautiful beaches with crystal clear waters that are ideal for snorkeling and diving, picturesque villages with narrow streets full of flowers and fruit trees, traditional taverns where visitors can taste delicious local food.

There’s over 100 km to explore in here. The trails will take you to quaint chapels, temples, villages, farmhouses, and more. 

 

Patmos

Patmos is a Greek island in the Aegean Sea. It has been a holiday destination for many years because of its mild climate, and was also an important religious centre from early Christian times. The island’s capital, Chora (meaning village), contains most of the major sights and hotels. The port town Skala, on the west coast with good beaches, is where ferries arrive from Piraeus (Athens). Other settlements are Kokkini Hani which is situated at one end of Patmos’ long beach.

Visit during the months of July and August for events like the International Film Festival and Patmos Religious Music Festival, or stay through September for sporting events like Patmos Revelation Triathlon!
