Greece

Pulling in more than 13 million tourists a year, Greece is one of the world’s most popular holiday spots and it’s not hard to see why. We’ve broken down this country into easily digestible bite size chunks, so you can determine the perfect destination for your next tailor-made holiday.

Athens

Inhabited for more than 3,000 years, Athens is widely known as the cradle of Western civilization and the birthplace of democracy. The city presents an exciting blend of historical and modern features. It’s probably most famous for its archaeological ruins and monuments such as the famous Acropolis, the Parthenon, the Ancient Agora and the Theatre of Dionysus just to name a few. However, Athens is not just about ancient ruins. This bustling city is also an important centre for business, culture and nightlife, making it the perfect holiday destination for couples and families alike.

Halkidiki

Halkidiki is a trident-like peninsula near the city of Thessaloniki, sporting excellent beaches with an array of watersports to enjoy. It’s also home to the well-known, and highly recommended five star, Sani Resort which we’d love to show you. The three separate peninsulas can be roughly summarized as follows: Kassandra has the nightlife, Sithonia has the beaches and Athos has the monks. Being closest to Thessaloniki, Kassandra is more built-up, while the quieter Sithonia has campgrounds, hidden coves and clear waters to explore.

Peloponnese

Shaped much like a large leaf, Peloponnese was traditionally called Morea, which appropriately means ‘mulberry leaf’. Located in the southernmost region of both Europe and Greece, Peloponnese is a wide peninsula connected to the mainland by the Rio-Antirrio bridge. Interspersed with classical Greek temples, Venetian fortresses, Byzantine churches and Mycenaean palaces, Peloponnese echoes the ancient cultures and events from its extensive history. Among these ancient ruins is Olympia, where the first Olympic Games were hosted in honour of Zeus, making it a popular tourist spot well worth a visit.

Thessaloniki

Thessaloniki is Greece’s second-largest city and the capital city of the Macedonian region of Northern Greece. Lively festivals, social events and a buzzing nightlife make this city the cultural capital of Greece and an exciting location to visit. Comprised of a historic city centre and commercial district, Thessaloniki offers both old and new attractions, from its Byzantine walls, White Tower and Turkish baths to colourful food markets, museums and art galleries. Thessaloniki’s nightlife is unmatched, from small tavernas to nightclubs and other entertainment venues, Thessaloniki offers it all.

Meteora

The Greek word meteora means “suspended in the air,” and this phrase aptly describes the spectacular cliffs that rise more than 1,200 feet (366 meters) into the air overlooking the villages of Kalambaka and Kastraki in the north central mainland of Greece. What makes these cliffs even more inspiring are the historic monasteries perched along the summits. Dating back to the 14th and 16th centuries, the monasteries at Meteora were built by monks seeking spiritual isolation and freedom from religious persecution.

Zagori

Zagori is a region of great natural beauty, with striking geology and two national parks. It’s dense forests and rugged mountains are furrowed by powerful rivers and dotted with traditional villages, many featuring grand stone houses dating from the late eighteenth century. The best way to enjoy the area is by hiking the numerous paths connecting the villages, with the most accessible and rewarding target being the wonderful Víkos Gorg.
