7 Reasons why we love (romantic) GREECE & THE GREEK ISLANDS
- Athens, the capital of Greece, offers a myriad of world famous archaeological sites and some excellent Michelin-starred restaurants, ideal for romantic candle lit dinners! Visit Greece and experience the most exquisite, healthiest Mediterranean flavors from ancient local recipes. A good start is a scoop of traditional Greek Frozen Yogurt from the local market vendors! You will certainly return for more!
- Just off the coast of Athens, lies the renowned Greek Islands, which are easily accessible by regular ferries and catamarans from Piraeus port in Athens. There are also good flight connections to Santorini and Mykonos.
- Mykonos is one of the most famous islands in Greece with stretches of long golden beaches. The iconic ‘Little Venice’ at the waterside can only be reached by foot. Follow the windy cobbled streets to explore many boutiques, art galleries and quaint restaurants.
- A must visit is Greece’s twelve Ionian Islands, the ideal place to relax and enjoy the crystal-clear ocean, moderate climate, and breathtaking mountains. The warmth of the locals, the rich cultural heritage, fully equipped diving centers and many ethnic events make the Ionian Islands a tranquil destination for any traveler.
- The most famous Ionian Island is Corfu. Nothing beats the romantic red and pink sunsets at Pelekas village. The hills of Corfu are covered by olive groves, orange and lemon orchards, pine woods and elegant cypresses which creates the most romantic scenery. Note: There are some stunning, untouched and remote beaches to explore on the West coast.
- The Greek Islands are also ranked as one of the Top Ten international sailing destinations.
- Greece is not only one of the most romantic destinations on the planet, but also one of the most affordable!
