Leaving Greece was a difficult decision for me after facing personal trauma and feeling unsafe. However, I will continue to share my love for the country through my travel guides and itineraries.
Summer is the peak season in Greece, with its idyllic beaches and vibrant nightlife drawing crowds. However, for a more tranquil experience, consider visiting during the shoulder seasons of spring or autumn.
Proussos Monastery is a historic monastery in Evritania, Central Greece. It’s a great place to visit if you’re looking for a peaceful and off-the-beaten-path experience. The monastery offers beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and countryside.
Autumn in Greece offers pleasant weather, perfect for swimming, hiking, and island hopping. With fewer crowds and lower prices, it’s an ideal time for a Greek vacation. Explore the Peloponnese, hike scenic trails, or enjoy city breaks in Athens or Thessaloniki.
Stafylos Skopelos, a tranquil coastal settlement on Skopelos island, Greece, boasts charming beaches, crystal-clear waters, and breathtaking Aegean views. Two main beaches, Stafylos and Velanio, offer diverse experiences from lively beach bars to secluded nudist areas.
Panormos Skopelos is a beautiful beach town on the west coast of Skopelos island. It has a white-sand beach, crystal-clear waters and is surrounded by dense pine forests.
Metsovo, a charming village nestled high in the Pindus Mountains of Northern Greece, is a popular winter getaway for Greeks. The village is known for its quaint stone houses, signature red roofs, and delicious local produce, including the famous Metsovone cheese.
Athens offers diverse shopping experiences, from vintage treasures in Exarchia to high-end designer stores in Kolonaki. Explore Monastiraki’s flea market, discover unique Greek products on Evripidou Street, or indulge in retail therapy at the city’s modern malls.
