We think of Greece as THE place for sun filled days spent island hopping, chill walks through narrow alleyways browsing at boho chic shops, lazing outside for long lingering lunches and dinners at lively tavernas but there is so much more to Greece all year round! Let's take the winter for example and some super fun ideas from EZGReece like...
SKIING! Mt. Parnassus is perfect for skiiers of all ranges- just a 3 hour drive from Athens, this "Mykonos of winter" setting features slopes of varying degrees , the lively village of Arachova with restaurants and shops, and Delphi isn't far either.
RUSTIC HOMESTYLE HOLIDAYING! Spend cozy winter days in Zagori against the backdrop of the Pindus Mountains...imagine a fairytale setting with stone villages blanketed in snow, revitalizing gorge hikes, rich cuisine and the warm glow of festive lights outside while you play board games by the fireplace.
EXPLORING! It's a total WOW factor all around Meteora, with its monasteries perched on huge rock pillars, unique geological formations to hike around, and experiences for the senses like truffle hunting with dogs in the forest. Head out and forage and return to a kitchen for a class creating a sumptuous truffle pasta al fresco.
FESTING! Naoussa in northern Greece hosts its famed Janissaries festival where men dress as Ottoman soldiers, pair this with a private tasting experience of the renowned Xinomavro, the amazing red wine in the region.
DRIVING! Take to the road in Mani deep in the Peloponnese and take an incredibly scenic drive along the coastline, stopping at quaint villages like Kardamyli along the way and hop from taverna to taverna to taste delicious local bites.
