Fly to Greece Now
“The impulse to travel is one of the hopeful symptoms of life” – Agnes Repplier
Known as the birthplace of Western Civilization, Greece is home to landmarks such as the Acropolis of Athens (an ancient citadel) and the Parthenon (a temple dedicated to the goddess Athena). It forms the southern extremity of the Balkan peninsula in southeast Europe with its highest point being Mount Olympus (the fabled home of the gods).
According to 12 Stunning Reasons Why You Should Travel to Greece, “Greece has always been a major tourist destination thanks to its clean azure water, postcard like islands, small town friendliness, great food and wine and most importantly, affordability.”
After looking through the “12 Stunning” piece, I chose ten places that I believe upon arrival in Greece you should visit:
- Green Hole (Giola)
It is a natural sea lagoon carved in rocks that looks similar to a swimming pool. If you carry a towel the best place to lay them on is the rocks that enclose it since there is no sand.
- Sarakiniko
Sarakiniko is a beach located on Milos Island, Greece. It is recommended to visit Sarakiniko at night when the moon is full because the snow white rocks of soft material reflect the light creating a lovely landscape you cannot forget. It is well suited for families with children.
- The Village of Oia
The Village of Oia (the picture above) is a small town and former community in the South Aegean on the islands of Thira and Therasia, in the Cyclades, Greece. The village is approximately “150 meters above sea level.”
The Santorini piece says, “Oia is one of the most photographed places in Greece, if not the world. It has inspired artists, poets and every visitor who visits Santorini.”
- Kefallonia Blues
Kefallonia Blues is located at Merton Beach, Ionian Islands, Kefallonia. It’s beautiful, blue waters will take your breath away.
- Naxos, Cyclades
Naxos is a Greek island in the South Aegean, the largest of the Cyclades island group. It has impressively high mountains, fertile valleys, lush green gorges, stunning seascapes, and traditional villages. During your stay enjoy their wide variety of cultural events, and traditional fairs.
- Aegean Sea
The Aegean Sea is an elongated embayment of the Mediterranean Sea located between the Greek and Anatolian peninsulas. It contains more than three thousand islands and is considered the home of the earliest European civilization from about 3000 to 1100 B.C.
- Mykonos
Mykonos is part of the Cyclades island group in the Aegean Sea. It is one of the most popular and glamorous Greek isles known for its nonstop party atmosphere. Mykonos is also known as “the island of the winds.”
- Zakynthos Shipwreck
A famous shipwreck on a small scenic beach on the island of Zakynthos in Greece.
- Corinth Canal
The Corinth Canal is a canal that connects the Gulf of the Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. Construction for the canal began in 1881 and it was first used on July 25, 1893.
- The Simonos Petras Monastery
The monastery’s location is on the south-west shore of the Athos peninsula and it was built by Saint Simon in the beginning of the 14th century. It is inhabited by 80 monks and is coenobitic. Lastly, it is seven-storeyed and features four chapels inside its precinct and eight more outside.
