Greece for a great holiday

Greece is called the cradle of European civilization, and the remnants of its ancient glory still attract millions of tourists every year. Visit ancient temples and palaces, archaeological sites and museums, Byzantine, Venetian and Ottoman castles, and charming coastal villages and towns. The most famous sights are the Acropolis of Athens, the Meteora monasteries, the ancient city of Delphi and the Palace of Knossos on the island of Crete.


Beaches
Greek beaches with clear azure waters are among the most beautiful and clean in the world. Here you will find sandy and pebble beaches, wild cliffs and urban embankments and harbors, tourist beaches with sun beds, umbrellas and restaurants, as well as deserted coves. The most photographed of these is Navagio Beach on the island of Zakynthos, a shipwrecked ship that is currently a popular tourist attraction.
Another very popular beach is Myrtos Beach on Kefalonia Island. On the island of Santorini you will find an unusual beach made of red volcanic stone, aptly named Red Beach. Other popular beaches are Balos in Crete, Lindos in Rhodes, Porto Katsiki in Lefkada and others.

Water sports
There is a wide range of water sports and entertainment in Greece. You can find scuba diving facilities along the coast, the best places are on the islands of Kefalonia, Corfu, Zakynthos and Paxos. Diving is allowed only with a diving center.
The islands of Naxos and Paros are popular places for windsurfing and kitesurfing. Local centers offer equipment rentals and lessons for beginners and advanced students. The windiest months are July and August. Surfing is not as widespread in Greece as other types of water sports, but its popularity is growing. Surfing communities and schools can be found on the islands of Tinos, Lemnos and Ikaria.

Cycling
Rent a bike and take a ride along the coast or on the mountain roads. You will find routes suitable for both road and mountain biking, from short to hundreds of kilometers long. A helmet is optional, but beware of unscrupulous drivers.
