While many people fantasise about exploring the Greek Islands on one of our Greek sailing holidays, others know that there is a wealth of beautiful landscapes and ancient history to be found on the mainland.
The term ‘mainland Greece’ covers a tremendous amount of ground, from Thessaloniki in the north, down through Athens, Delphi, and then the Peloponnese in the south. A mainland Greece itinerary is best for people who aren’t great at sailing, perhaps due to travel sickness. Mainland Greece is also ideal for people who love mountainscapes, long dusty roads, and the bustle and excitement of the capital city.
Athens is alive with modern culture and deep, ancient history. The two worlds are knitted together there arguably more than anywhere else on earth. Visit a modern restaurant and look out over the 2,500-year ruins of a temple to an Olympian god. This is the power and uniqueness of Athens! If you have any questions about the range of mainland Greece holiday destinations or if you would like us to design a unique mainland Greece itinerary for you, please feel free to get in touch.
