15 Photos That Will Make You Want to Visit Greece

August 5, 2020

Greece is a great place to visit because the landscape is so varied. You can spend your time island hopping, visiting ancient ruins, or even driving through the mountains. Did you know Greece had mountains? I certainly didn’t before visiting! Some highlights include visiting the Acropolis in Athens, seeing the ancient temple at Delphi, touring…

7 Best Day Trips from Athens

October 27, 2019

Athens is great on its own, but it can also serve as a jumping-off point for some of Greece’s must-see sights. You may be surprised by how varied Greece’s landscape is, and you’ll never get to see it if you only stick to the city. Within a few hours of Athens, you can experience monasteries,…

Visiting the Peloponnese in Greece: A 5 Day Itinerary

September 29, 2019

The Peloponnese is located about an hour from Athens separated from the rest of mainland Greece by the Corinth Canal. It is less visited than other parts of Greece (cough cough Santorini), but once you visit, you’ll be surprised it’s not more popular. If you have a few days to spare in Greece, you can…

Mainland Greece: A 9 Day Itinerary

August 18, 2019

With so much to see, you may be asking yourself “how many days should I spend in Greece” and “where should I go in Greece”? While it’s just the tip of the iceberg, you can cover a lot of ground with 9 days in Greece. If it’s your first time in Greece, I think it’s…

A Night in Monemvasia, Greece

June 12, 2019

I’m still so surprised by how many different types of destinations Greece has to offer. You can explore islands, ancient ruins, remnants of the Byzantine empire, and monasteries suspended on cliffs. Monemvasia is not well known to people outside of Greece, but if you tell a Greek you’re headed there, they’ll likely say something along…

What to See in Mystras, Greece

March 24, 2019

After a week of touring the ruins of ancient and classical Greece, I was excited for a slight change of pace. Yes, Mystras is still technically ruins, but you can tell the well-preserved churches and buildings are from a completely different point in time. Located on the slopes of Taygetos Mountain, Mystras was a powerful…

A Day Trip to Mycenae and Epidaurus

February 17, 2019

Greece is so packed with UNESCO World Heritage Sites that it’s no surprise that two of my favorites are located only 45 minutes apart. Mycenae is fascinating because it’s one of the oldest sites you can see in Greece. To quote Rick Steves, the Mycenaeans “were as ancient and mysterious to Socrates and Plato as…

A Day Trip to Corinth, Greece

January 21, 2019

In Ancient Greece, Corinth was a wealthy, cosmopolitan city thanks to its location. It controlled land access to the Peloponnese, and as a result, controlled trade in both the east and the west. While modern Corinth is not quite the Corinth of its heyday, the ruins of Ancient Corinth and Acrocorinth are certainly worth a…

A Visit to Nafplio, Greece

January 13, 2019

When I told people that I was going to Greece, their first question was usually “Oh cool, where?” I’m sure they were expecting to hear Santorini or Mykonos because you could hear a sense of disappointment when I’d reply Nafplio. For some reason, Nafplio isn’t too popular among US travelers to Greece. It’s hard to…
