Greece Adventure Holidays

Greece walking/hiking adventure packages are for travelers who love the outdoor activities and want a new experience, a different way to see Greece. These trips take you from largely unspoiled by the modern world mountain villages, remote monasteries and churches, traditional mountain villages, ruins of ancient Greek civilization, fishing villages with whitewashed, flat-roofed houses and narrow streets, to the deep blue sea and bays with white sandy beaches and hidden coves for swimming, these trips take you to all the very best places.

Crete Samaria GorgeDid you know that Greece is, after Switzerland, Europe’s most mountainous country, with Mount Olympus, legendary home of the gods, reaching 2900 meters.

Did you know that in Greece there are three of the longest gorges in Europe and among them  the longest one, Samaria gorge at Crete

Did you know that Greece has 1400 islands and that Greece's coast line is equal to the coast line of Africa

Best Time to Go: Mid-April to mid-June. wildflowers are plentiful, especially in the spring when they carpet the slopes with colour and the ‘nectar of the gods-honey’ is produced in copious quantities for there are hundreds of beehives along the winding mountain roads.
Also end of August to October - when the weather is worm but not hot, the sea waters are still warm and Greece much less overcrowded.
