Experiences & Adventures

Greek Cuisine

Food is a huge part of Greek culture. The cuisine offers an incredibly rich and diverse array of foods and beverages that are the culmination of thousands of years of living, cooking, and eating. Flavors of Greek food change with season and geography, however, fresh vegetables, fishes and seafood always play a significant role in the dishes, mostly because of its long coastline.

UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Greece

Western civilization was born in Greece over 4,000 years ago. It therefore comes as no surprise that this ancient land is home to 18 amazingly unique UNESCO Sites to visit. From Bronze Age citadels and the sacred Acropolis of Athens, to Byzantine monasteries and Venetian fortresses, Greece’s ongoing efforts to protect and curate its sites and monuments is testament to the tireless work of archaeologists, conservators and heritage managers across the country.

City and Beach Holidays in Greece

Discover the historical heritage on a major European capital in Athens before taking in the whitewashed villages of the islands where you`ll find ample opportunities to enjoy swimming, eating and gazing at the deep-blue Aegean.

Iconic Greek Road Trips

Many people associate Greece travel with island-hopping by ferry, but taking an iconic Greek road trip is a great way to get off the beaten track and experience this enchanting country. Not only will it give you more flexibility with your itinerary, it will allow you to visit small villages, remote archeological sites, and vineyards and tavernas - there's so much more to Greece than its beaches. So jump in the car and hit the road on the mainland in Greece for a fantastic adventure!

Greek Wine Regions

The country is a bit of a mystery to many wine drinkers, who may be limited by their knowledge of the region, grape varieties, or simply the pronunciation. However, one visit to Greece, sipping dry white wine of Santorini Island, sampling rosé on a Peloponnese road trip, indulging in sparkling wines in the mountainous north, or discovering the reds of Crete: there is something for every taste.

WHY KEFALONIA?

The biggest of the Ionian Islands, Kefalonia is as diverse as it is vast. It is the only Greek island to have a national park, and it is home to two different turtle species. This island has the most rugged landscape yet is full of impressive pine trees framing every road. Once overlooked by Corfu and Zante, this jigsaw piece-shaped island is stepping out of the shadows of its siblings. And with stunning pastel colored harbors surrounding the turquoise waters and deserted beaches, it’s not hard to see why. From the farmland and vineyards of the Paliki Peninsula to the sheer cliffs and rocky shoreline of the north, this island is filled with surprises. As a matter of fact, due to a major earthquake in 1953, it offers a fairly modern feel, despite that the island is extremely appealing, with its stunning harbors, plentiful walking trails and popular Greek tavernas.
