Why You Should Pick Greece For Your Next Trip

Thinking about taking a trip and getting away for a little while? If you haven’t already gone – or even if you have – Greece should be the next place you visit, or at least high on your priority list. Who could resist the ancient historical monuments, or the stunningly beautiful landscapes, or the incredibly friendly locals? Those are just some of the many reasons you should travel to Greece.

The beaches

Greece is famous for its picturesque sandy beaches and turquoise blue waters and boasts some of the best beaches in all of Europe. People travel from far and wide to visit the wild beach parties in Mykonos, or try kite-surfing or wind sailing along the windy beaches of Naxos, or relax and sunbathe with a good book on the secluded beaches on the island of Crete. There are enough kinds of beaches – sandy, pebble beaches, and cliff beaches – for everyone to enjoy. 

The Greek food

Greek food is world renowned and known for the incredibly fresh seafood and seasonal vegetables, not to mention Greek olive oil. There is such a variety of specialties, it would be difficult not to find something you would enjoy, even if you’re vegetarian. The local dishes are enough to bring people to the islands, so when you visit, make sure you try all the best Greek foods such as:

• Souvlaki
• Moussaka
• Tzatziki sauce
• Spanakopita 
• Greek salads
• Gyros
• Kalamari 

If you’re more of a dessert lover, Greece has got you covered with their delicious sweets, like Kopania, Loukoumades, and Melitinia.

The views

Picking any island in Greece to visit will reward you with absolutely gorgeous landscapes, views of the crystal clear azure Mediterranean Sea, rugged mountain terrains, and magnificent sunsets. The Greek islands feel like heaven on earth, especially with the whitewashed houses perched on cliffs overlooking the sea. Even accommodation in Greece offer stunning views, so consider checking out the best villas in Paros, Santorini, or Crete to experience the glorious beauty from sun up to sun down. 

The nightlife

How could you talk about Greece and not the wild parties and nightlife that you’ll find on the islands? You simply couldn’t. Greece is also well known for its beach parties and vibrant nightclubs overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. There truly is hustle and bustle everywhere, with music festivals, dance clubs, and bars that don’t close until the sun comes up, and beach parties that last all day. If you’re looking for a good time, head to the infamous party islands: Mykonos (the Ibiza of Greece, as it’s affectionately called), Zakynthos, or Ios. Even the romantic islands, like Santorini and Corfu, have their share of dance and nightclub parties going on regularly during the summer.

The Greece history

Home to many ancient monuments and heritage sights, Greece is an incredible destination for history and philosophy buffs, and lovers of ancient architecture. There are tons of historical sights to see on every island, especially the mainland with the Acropolis, but also including temples, museums, art, monuments, and even archaeological sites. Even just taking a stroll along the old walkways feels as though you’re stepping back into Ancient Greek times. – Travel Feeder
