Overview

Continental Greece

A mix of Mediterranean coast and mountain landscapes, continental Greece is a microcosm on all levels. Huge cultural heritage, ruins from ancient times, delicious food, and so much more. Its highest peak is Mount Olympus at 9,570 ft. The Acropolis, an ancient marvel, remains the major treasure of Athens. The effort of climbing to the top is quickly forgotten when you reach these awe-inspiring vestiges of our history. The view from the top of this sanctuary is breathtaking; it would be a shame to miss out on it!

pros

  •  The scope and richness of Ancient Greece's archaeological sites.

cons

  •  The language barrier.
  •  Pollution and traffic in Athens.

Greece Greece, All you need to know!

Our Editorial team's advice

The seaside hotels located on the Peloponnesian coasts allow you to do more than just sunbathe. They are also located near listed historical sites, such as Epidaurus, Olympus, Mycenae and Corinth. Bring good shoes to visit the monuments.
During the summer, do not miss the festivals that take place outside in the big ancient theatres: tragedies (greek, obviously!) in Epidaurus, and dance, music, and theatre on the stage of Herodes Atticus, located at the bottom of the Acropolis, in Athens.
