When is the best time of the year to visit?

The best times to visit Greece are the summer and winter seasons depending on the type of holidayer you are. Summer is great for beach holidays and if you want to experience some heat. This is a great time for a family trip during the school holidays as there will be plenty activities for all ages. On the other hand, if you are looking for a quiet break and some winter sun, winter is a great time to go. There will be less crowds, and it will be cheaper to travel.

Being the capital and a well-known city around the world, Athens is of course a must visit location. It is home to amazing historic sites and museums which is great for those who love history. For those not interested in history there are marketplaces to visit such as the Monastiraki, outdoor cinema experiences and the many bars. Thessaloniki is a great place to experience the food found in Greece. The open-air markets are an amazing place to experience traditional Greek food. Such as pastries filled with mince and spinach to big selections of cheese. You can also get ingredients if you want to make your own food. Epiros is a breathtaking place to visit for those seeking great views and long hikes in rocky canyons, lush forests and along beautiful flowing rivers and lakes. For those who feel adventurous you can also canoe across difficult or easy waters depending on your experience level. This is a great way to experience the beauty of Greece and get some exercise at the same time.
