It is always difficult to choose the right travel destination because you have to take into account all aspects and conditions, and not be disappointed later.
My job today is to make you fall in love with Greece, to convince you of visiting one of the most sunny, historically important and friendly countries of the planet!
The main virtue of Greece is its diversity. Every Junkie Travel trip will find something to taste, whether you are a wine lover or a drug addiction, a nerd story or a party animal, a rolling stone or a sofa potato.
Here my reasons for you to travel in Greece this year
1. FoodIt's simply indescribable. It combines everything that can be found in the Mediterranean countries. Being in Greece, you are obliged to taste Greek honey, butter, cheese and olive oil of course. By the way, Vegans, rejoice! Greece is a paradise of food for vegetarians - a wide variety of fresh legumes, beans, grains, salads, etc. You will make you drool. You can say that you have the same thing in your country, but the fresh legumes and fruits found in Greece are much richer and milder to taste. The wines of Greece are varied ranging from dry reds and mild white and wines. If you are adventurous and want to try a real "Greek thing" in the wine, try the Vatina. This is the wine preserved with the pine resin and has been manufactured for more than 2,000 years. You will also have good tasty modern wines like Cabs, Merlot, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnays etc. Some vintages of the selected vineyards are exceptional. Forget your diet and try the most delicious desserts - Baklava, Kataïfi or a "pasta". It's an orgasm on a plate!
2. PeoplePeople in Greece are super fun. And passionate. And slow - they take their time to worship the moments of life. In addition, wherever you will meet you, you will encounter a friendly, polite, fast and above all, insunded.
3. The climateChoosing a good time to visit Greece, it's hard to go wrong with one of the four seasons, because it's a very sunny country - the sun shines three hundred days a year. Therefore, roofs in Greece are equipped with solar panels and silver cans to heat water. In addition, it's not too wet, so the heat is quite bearable, it's always fresh, not clogged at night. Sleep naked, just under a sheet of light.
4. The viewsGreece assumes its guests with the beauty of nature. The crystal clear sea - By the way, there are 4! Seas in Greece (Ionian Sea, the Mediterranean, the Aegean and Libyan Sea). Robust mountains, a sunny sea, quiet beaches, hills of white houses and olive groves in the same landscape. It's so fabulous and it seems that the place is even resembled surreal!
5. The beachesGreece is a row in the tenth place in the world with the most stretching coast of nearly 15,000 km. The best beaches are on the islands. If you have time, I encourage you to visit as many islands as you can. Some have crystal blue waters, other soft white sand or turquoise littoral. In Greece, there are more than 1,400 islands - and each is beautiful in its own way. For example, the island of Corfu, where you have a real opportunity to soak the sun with the oligarchs from around the world, the island of Mykonos, where you can enlighten you in the glorious club of youth, the island of Paradise Rhodes, rustic tranquility of Crete. And my personal favorite is the island of Ikaria. He is named for Ikarus, a mythological character who stole too close to the sun. Its wings, held with wax, melted and thought that the island of Ikaria is the place where Ikarus plunged into the sea creating the island - loves this mythology!
6. HistoryYou will find an infinite number of historical monuments in Greece. There are always archaeological excavations. So, if you meet closed land on your way - make sure it's another historic discovery. Greece is the main country with the largest number of archaeological museums in the world. Even Greek coastal waters hide old wooden vessels, ancient clay amphora and the Second World War of Steel Ships.
The wide variety of historic sites gathered in Athens the capital of Greece. Even the metro is cut with monuments! It is impossible to imagine Athens without the Parthenon, the Acropolis, the temple of Olympian Zeus, the old Agora, which we know our textbooks of the old history.
7. PricesGreece is incredibly affordable, especially if you plan your trip during spring or autumn seasons. It is Europe, but you will feel the tangible difference compared to other Mediterranean countries.
