Whether you come alone, with a romantic partner, or in a group, Greece is a country filled to the brim with attractions, beautiful landscapes, and unparalleled beaches that will make travelling there unforgettable. That said, it can often be difficult to find the best locations to explore using traditional holiday planning, especially if you can only stay for a few days. Walking tours allow you to see the hidden side of Greece that is at once stunning and exciting, and you will often find adventure in the most unlikely of places.
Travel at Your Own Pace
Greece is by far one of the most beautiful places in the world to be at any point of the year, and this is a big reason why you benefit from walking holidays in Greece. Self-guided tours allow you to move at your own pace, finding and exploring new locations as they come without worrying about being forced to follow a group. There are also different options that require different skill sets to ensure you get exactly as much difficulty as you want in the experience.
Why Greece?
One of the biggest reasons to love any time spent in Greece is that you have access to many of the same foods and spices eaten thousands of years ago. Whether you consider yourself a carnivore, vegan, or vegetarian there is something to be had that will make every bite more spectacular than the last, and the best food is often found in the small villages dotting your walking tour path. Nearly all of the seafood served is caught within 24 hours of being put on your plate and always from right off the coast, with many of the vegetables, grains, beans, and legumes also grown and harvested from nearby the restaurant.
It might surprise you to learn that Greece is also home to an abundant nightlife, and Greeks absolutely love to celebrate life, make new friends, and spend quality time with the people around them. If you find yourself in Athens at any point of your tour through the country, be sure to visit the bouzoukia (pronounced boo-zoo-kee-ah) for your pick of the many concert halls and famous artists who gather to perform. When on the islands, you will never find yourself too far from a beach bar or nightclub teaming with people looking to have a great time.
Walking tours allow you to find hidden villages, beaches, and much more; places that a traditional vehicle could not hope to reach. In addition, you will enjoy interactions with the locals in a more personal and positive way that will leave you with fond memories of your time there. After all, the locals are who you need to speak to if you want to find the best foods, hidden views, and other adventurous activities of which most tourists are unaware.
No matter the length of your stay or who you bring, a walking tour is suited for anyone. You simply choose the difficulty of the tour, the location, and the duration to make your time in Greece perfect. From the moment you arrive to the moment you get back onto your plane or boat for the return home, your time there will be unforgettable.
