Heading into the new year with fun monthly destination inspiration!
First stop for January is a place I have come to know and love, Greece. Greece is a place that I could go back to multiple times and still feel like there is more to explore. There is so much diversity in just the geography alone. From the green, forested mountain villages down to the rocky, barren coastline of Mani, it all has its unique beauty.
I would suggest going in May, June, September or October. Skip July and August unless you plan to spend your whole trip at the beach (its pretty hot and can be crowded those months). I would say Greece is a minimum ten day visit since it is a minimum 12 hour flight if you are flying direct.
Places to visit on your first tip:
- Athens - full of history, culture and great food. Spend at least 4 days here.
- Paros or Naxos - for an island experience nearby these two are great choices and are just a ferry ride away out of Pireaus which is the port of Athens.
Here is a video with suggestions for a three day itinerary of Athens:
He hits all of the sites I would recommend (although his pronunciation could be better, lol) and he talks about a day trip to the Peloponnese area which I would definitely include and may suggest, if you are comfortable with driving continuing your trip out to the Peloponnese coast. The villages along the coast are picturesque. There are a few I recommend visiting if you decide to go this route. Kardamyli for its quaint seaside village feel, Monemvasia the castle city for its uniqueness and Elafonisos for the island experience.
