Holidays in Greece
Greece is a popular holiday destination throughout Europe. Whether the mainland or surrounding islands, Greece has long been known as being a hotbed of cuisine and culture, as well as obviously the hot weather!
Greece holidays are much loved by all demographics, but which are the top destinations in the country and surrounding islands?
Corfu
Much loved destination off the western coast of the country, Corfu is an attractive resort to both families and individuals looking to have a fun break away from the stresses and strains of life at home. Ferry services also operate to the mainland on a daily basis, although there is so much to do on the island it is unlikely you will need to look elsewhere.
Santorini
This gorgeous island is growing into an extremely popular destination, particularly among honeymooning couples. An online search will throw up some of the most romantic images you could ever wish to see. As far as Greece holidays go, Santorini is the best destination for romance and to witness an unbelievable sunset.
Sifnos
This island is one of the great untouched paradises of the entire Mediterranean. Given its relative proximity to the mainland, Sifnos is unique in offering an untouched island for those looking for a quieter holiday, but also the opportunity to explore the more established areas, such as Athens, and experience a taste of the Greek nightlife.
Rhodes
A favourite of all demographics for many years, Rhodes offers much of what is loved about Greek culture, as well as the opportunity to take the catamaran over to the Turkish mainland for a day or overnight stop. Given where Rhodes sits in the Mediterranean, there are many opportunities for sightseeing if the attractions on the island aren’t enough to quench your tourist thirst. Perhaps the best experiences are to be had by walking through the Old Town itself and taking in all that the locals have to offer.
Athens
A Greece holiday is simply not complete without a trip to the capital city. Although not as well publicised for its “East meets West” feeling as Istanbul, Athens is still one of Europe’s most beautiful capitals and contains many historical monuments for those who enjoy a cultured holiday experience. Staying in Athens leaves visitors in a great position to either ferry around the Greek islands or visit other great destinations across the mainland.
Greece offers many holiday opportunities for every demographic, with lots of sights and activities which can be easily enjoyed by all.
