Millions of tourists annually visit sunny and bright Greece. Most of
them use the services of travel agencies and purchase ready-made trips. For a
fee, operators help with the execution of necessary documents, deal with issues
of transfer and accommodation in apartments. However, recently the number of
travelers who prefer an independent vacation in Greece has noticeably increased.
Usually these are middle-aged people who have become
boring of a standard set of pleasures. They are confident, they know languages,
they want to feel the color of the country, and they are not afraid to leave
the hotel in search of new impressions.
Organizing an independent trip to Greece is
troublesome, but the effort expended is worth choosing the best route and not
limiting yourself to the timeframes of a regular tour. Independent travel
allows you to optimally combine a beach holiday with excursions and
sightseeing. If you wish, you can drive around all of Greece, stopping in
different cities, and linger there, where it will be more interesting or
comfortable. Trips without a travel agency, planned in advance, have another
nice bonus - a lower cost.
With the development
of the Internet, the organization of independent travel to Greece has become
much easier. Now the whole trip can be planned without leaving your home,
through websites offering hotel reservations and a choice of air tickets. You
can view a lot of options and choose the most suitable. The only thing that
will have to get into the city is a visa, but this procedure does not take much
time. Beach holidays in Greece are relevant from May to
October, in the remaining months, the trip is worth devoting to sightseeing.
Interesting routes for independent travel to Greece
Greece is rich in sights and natural beauty, so it’s
unlikely to appreciate all its advantages in a single trip. Choose your
specific route can be based on the purpose of the trip.
As a starting point for a trip to Greece, many
tourists choose Athens. From the capital they are going on a tour of the
historical places of Central and Northern Greece, and when they satisfy their
need for new information, they continue to rest on the beaches in the Athens
region or on the Chalkidiki peninsula. Also popular are options for combining
holidays in the Greek capital with a three-day cruise to small islands.
Tourists, whose main goal is to get to know the
country as the cradle of ancient civilization, should spend time in the
Peloponnese. Such a concentration of monuments of antiquity is nowhere else in
Greece. Traveling around the peninsula, visiting the famous Mycenae, Sparta,
Olympia and Corinth is best in a rented car
For people who dream to touch the shrines and take
part in worship services, the trip can be started from the city of
Thessaloniki. Many Orthodox monuments have been preserved here, among them the
famous Church of Saint Demetrius. Not far from the city, on the Peninsula of
Chalkidiki there is the world famous Mount Athos with a large number of
monasteries for men. However, women are not allowed here, so they can only
admire the temples from the sea during the ship excursion. Fans of beach holidays and active sports can go to
Rhodes, washed by the Aegean and Mediterranean seas. In the western part of the
island there are always waves that give unforgettable impressions to surf
lovers. Tired of the extreme, you can move to the east of Rhodes, which is
great for a relaxing beach holiday. Sometimes tourists lodge in rooms only for
a day in order to move from one beach to another every day in search of new
impressions.
Travel routes are still quite a lot, and if you wish,
you can come up with your own, one and only. Independent travel to Greece is
the best opportunity to open a country through your own perception and
attitude, realize a unique cultural program and feel like a discoverer.
