Welcome to Greece |
|
|
Ancient ruins set against blue-sky backdrops as the Aegean laps at the stunning coast. And Greek culture, alive with music, inspired cuisine and thrill-seeking activities. Gaze out from the summit of the Acropolis, step into the ring where Olympians competed or climb steps carved out of stone to monasteries perched on top of towering cliffs. Greece has so many fab cultural pursuits and a calendar bursting with festivals, holidays and exhibits. Balmy days under expansive skies and island-dotted seas with dreamy white-sand beaches and palm-fringed shorelines. Wander along cobbled Byzantine footpaths, hike into volcanoes, swim with dolphins, cycle through lush forests or simply hop on a boat and set sail into the great blue beyond. Oh, and then there's the food! Enough feta and olive oil to feel like a local. Regional produce and ancient recipes blend with modern cooking styles to make travelling here a culinary adventure. You'll have a plate-smashing time. Although, we'd recommend checking with the plate owner before intentionally breaking anything! If you like it hot, July and August will see temperatures soar into the 30's, so for a more balmy 20-27℃, we'd recommend heading here in: April, May, June, September |

This week's top travel hacks |
Two nights bed and breakfast for £59 at Village Hotels - Village Hotels are running an Easter promotion, offering a two night stay for £59, including all-you-can-eat breakfast. Beats a chocolate egg, right? The deal is available for stays between 23rd March and 8th April. Note that rooms are from £59, so some more popular hotels will be more expensive, but we've found a very good selection of hotels with availability at £59. See the sale page here |
