Travel Advice for Visiting Greece

Posted by Barbara Rogers Mar 22, 2007

These travel articles will help you explore the many sights Greece has to offer:

Athens: Gateway to Greece -- Enjoy the capital before exploring the Greek Islands, from the Sound and Light show at the Acropolis to bouzouki players in the Plaka's tavernas.

Best Scenic Drives in Greece – Mainland Greece offers some spectacular scenery for driving tours. Drive the winding road from the lakeside town of Ioannina, capital of Epirus, through mountain scenery to the monasteries of Meteora. Or leave from another lake town, Kastoria, and drive to the remote Prespa Lakes, on Greece's northern border.

Great Drives in Greece -- The Peloponnese, part of mainland Greece, ends at the Mani, a remote and rugged peninsula at its southern tip. The scenery is spectacular, with tall fortified tower houses and the Diros caves, which you can explore by boat.

Yannis Galatis: An Impromptu Fashion Show on Mykonos – A shopping trip brings an American expat more than she expected, when she slips into a prize-winning silk dress in the shops of the most famous Greek fashion designer.

Greece's Only Nudist Hotel – Bare it all at the Vritomartis Hotel on Crete, the only nudist hotel in Greece. You'll have to don clothes to take a walking trip through the Samaria or Imbros Gorge, or to a visit to nearby Gavdos Island, the southern-most point in Europe.
