Which resort to choose in Greece?

And hello again, dear readers! On the courtyard December and until the summer is still far away, but now many are thinking about vacation. I want to draw your attention to Sunny Greece.

Cos

Kos is a chic and expensive resort for chosen, no wonder, Hollywood stars choose him for rest. The island is small, located in the southeastern part of the Aegean Sea. There are many greens, nature is very beautiful.

Prices are high, therefore budget to relax, most likely it will not work.

Zakynthus

Zakynthos is an amazingly beautiful island to return. Two rods of the mountain ranges close the valley from bad weather. Brown vegetation, sheer rocks, picturesque, closed from the sea of \u200b\u200bthe Bay of Golden Sand - the real paradise for tourists.

Unfortunately, on the island rarely lands, you can only get here with local airlines or ferries.

Santorini

Santorini is a small island, volcanic origin, with a coastline of 70 km. White houses of locals are concisely inscribed in the mountain landscape. Here is your own, some kind of aristocratic, cozy atmosphere. Life flows slowly, time, as if stopped.

If you move a little from the tourist trail, you can find wild places and enjoy loneliness. Islands beaches are very diverse, even sand in every place of its shade, from gently yellow, to bright red.

Rest on the island dear. As a rule, tourists come here for one day as part of excursion groups.

conclusions

In Greece, many resorts and choose really difficult. Beautiful nature and gorgeous beaches are almost every corner of this sunny country. So where is it better to relax in Greece? How many people, so many opinions. Where to enjoy one, there it is not necessary to be completely different.

If you, dear readers, I wonder my opinion, now I would have operated in such a sequence:

1. Ready general information About country and main resorts
2. We look at the price of tours or housing and air tickets (perhaps you will get off cheap tickets and it will be more profitable to go on your own)
3. Based on the second point, we decide how to relax, through the tour operator or independently. How to make the right decision I wrote
4. Most likely, for the first acquaintance with the country, I would choose one of the islands, focusing on the price-nature-quality-light transfer (precisely in such a sequence). You may have other priorities.
5. Deciding with the island, read detailed information about the resorts of this place, relying on fresh reviews on the net.
6. Further choose accommodation, hotel or house (if not tour)
7. Now buy a tour or tickets (if you drive yourself)

This plan is not suitable for those who purposefully go to watch certain attractions. Such tourists are easier, you just need to choose the resort closer to the desired visits.

That's all about what I wanted to tell, I hope you have developed a shared picture about the resorts of Greece.

My personal impressions can be soon to learn from the stories in the "My Travels" heading. In the meantime, I propose to get acquainted with the article. It seems to me that this is an urgent question.

In the near future I will write about the island of Rhodes. Subscribe to my newsletter and be the first to receive new publications.

Recently, in some secondary magazine, I got a note that this country would also be closed soon for Russians. Allegedly, make a couple of provocations for this purpose. Did not hear anything? It will be very sorry. Write in the comments that you think about this. It is very interesting to read.

And I briefly say goodbye. Share Article B. social networksComfortable buttons are below.

The stretched extended coastline and many large and small islands in the Mediterranean Sea turned Greece into a beach holiday country: stony, sandy, mixed beaches, framed by resort towns or palm groves, are found almost every step.

Perfect place For a serene and relaxed rest on the seashore, this is an incredibly beautiful island of Santorini, who is headed by the list of the most beautiful islands of the world, which includes Bali, islands of a large barrier reef and Boracay in the Philippines.

Santorini is actually a group of islands surrounding ancient flooded caldera, which formed in a few centuries BC after eruption of the volcano. Especially beautiful the resorts of the main island of Tira on the shore of this caldera: there is a pretty cool coastline, with the height of the cliff, the picturesque islands on the other side of the lagoon are well. The resort villages of the island are an unforgettable spectacle: traditional Greek houses are painted in a bright white-white color, especially dazzling on the hot Mediterranean sun. Resting here is not, but the beauty of the island is worth it.

The main resorts of Santorini are the towns of Fira, OA, Kamari and Imerovigli.

Corfu Island is also popular with tourists who prefer beach rest. This corner of Greece earned fame due to the abundance of greenery, which is usually unknown by the Greek islands and resorts. There are also whole forests of olive groves and other trees, and picturesque beaches and good hotels Any class, from the cheapest to five-star, make this place even more attractive.

Almiros on Corfu is one of the most beautiful beaches of Greece, which preserved a virgin nature and has crystal clear water.

Greece is one of the few countries where beach rest can be easily combined with sightseeing, which is very rich in this ancient country. Even on small islets and in small resorts you can find residues ancient civilizationswho flourished on this territory, but there are several places with the richest historical heritage.

Crete is one of the most interesting islands of Greece. The cradle of ancient Greek, or rather, the Minoan culture, which posted the beginning of the development of the first developed European civilization, left behind many monuments. The beauty and purity of sandstall-pebble beaches of Crete attract much less attention than ancient destroyed cities, an ancient Palace, the Cave of the Chief Olympic God, old monasteries.

The most complete idea of \u200b\u200bthe heyday of an ancient Greek civilization can be obtained by resting in Athens. This city harmoniously combines the most ancient monuments of architecture and modern reality. Its main attractions - Acropolis with many ancient temples, including famous Parthenon and Museums ancient Mira. Nearby Riviera is located nearby - a number of resorts along the coast of the Mediterranean Sea, where you can relax after active excursions on the hot city.

What is the Greek resort to choose for a trip in June?

So, the decision is made: we are going in June In Greece! The case, it would seem, for small - choose the resort. But this is not so simple: even experienced travelers in Greece have been thinking for a long time before choosing a destination. Socrates country resorts are conditionally divided by geographical position (on the mainland and on the islands), by what kind of sea is washes the coast (Ionian, Aegean or Mediterranean), as well as internal infrastructure.

Northern Greece

In the north of Greece you are pleased with the warm Aegean Sea and the famous resorts: Thessaloniki, Sithonia, Athos and, of course, Castoria.

- One of the largest Greek cities, it is called the capital of Northern Greece. It is here that an international airport is located, and there are many hotels and apartments of the most different level of availability (from categories VIP and de Luxe to cozy removable apartments).

However, most resorts of Northern Greece are concentrated in the Peninsula area. The peninsula itself resembles a trident in shape, and his "teeth" is Sitonia, Cassandra and Athos (Agion Oros). The main advantage of these places is that, unlike the southern islands, the territory of Chalkidika is drowning in greenery even in the midst of the summer season. To go in June and can be perfectly resting here connoisseurs of relaxing holidays, couples with children. Peak high temperatures On the peninsula is observed in the second half of July and August, and in June, when the sea is already warm enough, there is still no strong heat.

- This is the peninsula whose name according to mythology corresponds to the name of Son Poseidon. Famous resort pure Morce and beautiful natural species. Here, in addition to hotels in a different level of star, there is even a golf course, the casino is the only on Chalkidiki (in the tourist hotel complex Porto Carras).

As happened everywhere in Greece, there are ancient cities in the Sithonia Peninsula (Toroni, GalipSos, Sarti, Singos and Derra), where you can see unique archaeological monuments. The best coast on Sithonia is considered West - from Neos-Marmaras to Nikiti. These villages are famous each in their own way: Nikiti is a concentration of vintage houses with invariably red roofs, and Neos-Marmaras is a nightlife center at Sithonia.

All beaches of the peninsula are covered with small crumbbed sand, and forests are rich in pine. If in June you were on Sithonia, be sure to look at Vurvuru Bay, where the beach is the same name, which is considered the most exotic and beautiful on the peninsula. Here you will see the crystal clear sea, scenic coves and olive groves. The best hotels of Sithonia are customary to Anthemus Sea Beach Hotel & Spa, Maria Elena Villas, Porto Carras Meliton Hotel, Lagomandra Beach. All these complexes offer big choice Rooms, which allows you to choose options for both family pairs, and for those who wish to plunge into romantics.

The Holy Mount Athos is a place where the atmosphere of privacy and spirituality reigns. There are two dozen of Orthodox monasteries, among which there is a Russian Orthodox Monastery of St. Panteleimon. It should be said that the entrance to Athos women is strictly prohibited, and even men can visit the peninsula only with a special resolution. However, admire the stroke spiers and architecture of buildings can always be from the sea.

In almost any resort town, marine excursions on Athos will start at almost any resort town, during which the yachts fit the peninsula pretty close. On Athos there is a visa regime, it is possible to obtain a visa to a limited number of days and it is issued, as a rule, professors and students of theological specializations. Such precautions have their own foundation, because here, in the capital of the monastic republic, the Museum of Orthodox Christianity, which is located in the capital of the Monastic Republic ancient icons, manuscripts and unique books. Given the specificity of the territory, tourist hotels on the peninsula not as many, they are located in the 2 coastal towns of Uranopoli (the name of which is translated as "Heavenly City") and neo-kind. The best among them is Alexandros Palace 5 *, ARISTETELS Hotel 4 *, Eagles Palace & Spa.

Among the Greek resorts has special popularity. This city is located on the coast of the Orestiad mountain lake and has a special attractiveness. Castorina is the global center for the production of fur products. If you want to buy a high-quality and beautiful coat at the price of the manufacturer, look shopping center Edika in Castoria. About 80 thousand models of fur products are represented in 12 shopping halls. As for hotels, the choice is small, the best can be called Apollo Palace 5 *, Esperos Palace 4 *. Rooms in hotels are better to choose overlooking the lake. There are no beaches in Castorian: in the lake is not accepted, but there are wonderful opportunities for fishing.

South Greece

South Greece resorts are customary to Loutraki, Eui, Wulyagmen, Glyfand and of course the island of Crete.

The most famous resort of this part of Greece, where, in our opinion, it is better to go in June, it is not far from Athens (80 km) and is washed by the waters of the Corinth Gulf. Despite the fact that the city is small, it is here that the largest casino is located in the Balkans (Club Hotel Casino Loutraki 5 *). Hotels here are not very much, they are built mostly along the coast. It should also be noted that most hotels in Loutraqi new or newly renovated. As entertainment, tourists are offered scuba diving, surfing, riding on yachts, water skiing, motorcycles. Beaches at this resort pebble.

In Loutraki in June and not only go to relax and heal, because there are many sources of healing mineral waters. There is also a hydrotherapy center in the city, where, combining with rest, you can go through the course of therapeutic procedures. Lutraki is an antiquity admirers: this town is quite close (a few dozen km) from the main attractions of Greece: ancient Corinth, Acropolis, Mycene, Epidaur, Delph. In Loutraki, you can look at the famous Byzantine and antique temples, such as the temple of the goddess Gera. Thus, this town is universal in terms of tourist infrastructure.

At the suburbs of Athens (15-20 km) are located and. Prices for accommodation here in the season are always higher than in the rest of the resort Greece. The influence of the proximity of the capital affects. This area is the concentration of fashionable five-star hotels, but not all of them can correspond to the stated level of star. As for the beaches, they are sandy here. "Wild" beaches do not always boast of cleanliness, unlike those equipped (although it is about 4 euros for renting sun beds and umbrellas). Hotels with category 5 * have their own beaches and provide such equipment for free. As for the sea, it in glyfade and vulgaria is very clean, as in all Greece. In general, the resorts boast of excellent entertainment and sports infrastructure. These resorts are a great place for both business tourism.
