Top & Best things to do in a Greek adventure
1. Do Hiking
Do you know that for 80%, Greece is a country of different mountains? Amazingly, there are over 40 ranges with heights exceeding two thousand meters and picturesque views. Therefore along the coast and overland walks are interspersed with sea level and island peak 360 ° views. This will be your only issue, choosing where to visit.
Greece has a mild Mediterranean climate with plenty of sunshine throughout spring, autumn and even winter. You can go up some of the mountain peaks like in Pindos Mountain at the north side even during hotter seasons of July and August.
The distances are not that long hence you may visit different areas along paths that have existed for centuries and encompass a lot of history as well as culture.% You meet Byzantine churches, medieval castles, and ancient ruins on your way. The real village of monk ambassadors, who represent the excellent Greek hospitality, is what you are going to see. Then rest on a stunning bay where you will be served with the freshest Mediterranean delicacies in an almost unknown tavern.
Top hiking experiences:
- Mt Olympus: The place where are twelve ancient gods, pleasant path for your family but also to the top and most high peak of Greece.
- Meteora: Nature’s miracles and those of humans; opportunity for hikers to walk between ancient monastery on an unusual terrain.
- Pindos Mountains: This is especially impressive having Vikos Gorge, one of the most renowned hiking spots in Greece along with various stone villages of Zagori.
- Cyclades: The most glamorous archipelago of Greece forms around an inhabited Delos (a fascinating archaeological site). Unique hikes are found in every island of the Cyclades, such as
- Santorini, Tinos and Folegandros.
- Crete: A unique nook in the world where the Minoan civilization was born. The whole island of Crete is full with so many hiking trails. Remarkable trekking excursions are conducted through the rough White Mountains as well as by the coastline paths, overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
2. Sailing
The country is blessed with a coastal line of approximately 16000 kilometers comprising of the main lands as well as over 6000 small islands out of which only 227 are populated. Warm climate, four islands group and 7 archipelagoes give safety and relaxing conditions for sailing trips accompanied by god of sea Poseidon.
There will be short trips from an island to another island and a lot of swimming as you travel through the green Ionian islands (filled with colorful Venetian sites) and the Sporades (known for the well-known Mama mia).
Top sailing experiences:
- Ionian: Close to the islands of Zakynthos, Kefallonias, and Ithacai and further to the north – Corfou, Lefkas and Paxos/Antipaxos which make it ideal for families and novice divers.
- Sporades: The seafarers’ favourite islands are Skopelos and Skiathos, which are followed by Alonissos lying right next to it being the first Greek Island to ban plastics and where one can find an unspoilt Marine Protected area teeming with.
- Cyclades: The sailing experience in places such as Santorini, Milos, Naxos, Folegandros, Sifnos and Serifos is enhanced due to the famous northern winds that help propel a yacht or boat towards its destination.
3. Sea Kayaking
In Greek waters, it will not be cold if you kayak or canoe between May and October. Six entire months – from the beginning of the spring until the beginning of the autumn. You may have a one-day tour or make it a week (or longer). You will be able to tour the island in a day, or even paddle among a number of those islands during generally calm and secure conditions (however, the latter requires guidance). In terms of water clarity, marine life, and perhaps seeing a monk seal – the best of the best.
One can find immense diversity in landscapes around Greek waters consisting of volcanic minerals, sharp limestone cliffs, and green slopes with pines touching the wave line. This could only be compared to being able to spot ancient sites by the shore, just like the Temple of Poseidon in Cape Sounion and the Temple of Athina Lindos in Rhodes.
Top sea kayaking experiences:
- Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon: The temple of the fifth-century BC sea god in Attica cannot only be an important historical symbol of Ancient Greece. One of the best coastal spots with highly atmospheric background for a kayaking/canoeing trip.
- Lindos in Rhodes: Kayaking along Rhodes provides such a highlight as spotting the 3rd-century acropolis of Lindos and the nearby beautiful town and beach of Lindos.
- A Santorini sunset paddle: Everyone who has seen it in Santorini does not forget the sunset and you can also experience this sunset along with the whole coastline of the Caldera during your “star” holiday in the Cyclades. This is when to enjoy the whitewashed villages on a cliff.
- Milos: Milos features in many travel magazines for its multi coloured terrain created by volcanic activity. Milos’ most famous sights include Syrmata firopotomos and kleftiko but in my opinion none are better seen than while kayaking along the Milos coast line.
