Greece

Greece is famous for her islands and every year tourists come visiting. But not only the islands have beautiful beaches or hidden gems that you need to explore. Greece is a country surrounded by sea, but also she has beautiful lakes, rivers and mountains that might surprise you. You can find traditional villages but also big modern cities. But you can't miss the welcoming locals, the breathtaking landscapes and the traditional food (or the renowned night life)!

Mani is my favourite summer destination. I have spent there every summer of my life – and some Easter holidays as well. After the construction of the new road, Mani is only 3 hours from Athens. One of the places you should visit is Gerolimenas, located by the sea and ideal for a meal, a cup of coffee, a swim in the sea or just a walk next to the sea.

Vatheia is a very beautiful and picturesque village. What struck me is that it consists solely of stone houses. While driving, you will reach a place where you can enjoy Vatheia from above and take photos with the stone houses in the background. Article by Evelina Braimi Photo by manitraveler_gr
Diros caves: It is a unique experience. The guided tour starts inside a little boat (10 person capacity) and is conducted by people who know all about minerals! It lasts around 30 minutes and after the tour, you can walk around exploring the place on your own. Don’t miss the chance to swim in the sea next to the caves. The colours of the landscape are amazing. Before leaving, you can also visit the Neolithic Museum. Article by Evelina Braimi Photo by manitraveler_gr

Naousa has bins for recycling of glass, clothes, cooking oil and also underground trash bins which operate sustainably in the procedure of waste management. Furthermore, in the World Bicycle Day (03/06), it was inaugurated the bicycle path of Naousa (Traffic Education Park – gate of Municipal Park) which aims in the familiarization of locals and visitors with the use of bicycle.

I recommend you walk alongshore to the sacrifice area of Naousa’s women in the region Stoumpanoi. Naousa owns the title of “heroic town” by royal charter (1955) due to its residents’ actions during the holocaust of 1822. Foremost event constituted the women’s decision to fall with their children into Arapitsa rather than surrender to the Turks and this is the representation you will see in the statue of Naousa’s woman.

If you wish to go for a walk in the city’s heart, the Municipal Park is the green spot of the center. In its 30 acres there are trees, plants, flowers, sculptures and artificial lake with ducks and peacocks. Consequently during your walk remember that the Tower Clock was built in 1895 whereas the remaining traditional buildings’ rhythm in the historic center is macedonian.

Zagorohoria’s beauty ranges from the sublime to the overwhelming and a visit in this region is guaranteed to be memorable. And mark my words: in this wild, harsh corner, you can see the stars shining all over the place. Article by Caterina Douli Photo by zagorohoria_greece
Listed at Guinness Book of Records of Year 1997 as the deeper and narrower canyon of the world, Vikos Canyon is breathtaking. There are three spots where you can look up to its greatness: Oxia locality, Monastery of St. Paraskevi locality both on Monodendri Village and Mpeloi locality in Vradeto Village. They all require some walking and they all offer you a magic view! Bonus activities: Trekking inside the Geopark of Vikos-Aoos. Article by Caterina Douli Photo by zagorohoria_greece
If it's summer and you find yourself in Zagorochoria, visit Balta Di Stringa Waterfall, which is located in Iliochori Village where you can park your car! It takes about 25 minutes walk to get to the waterfall and 40 minutes walk to be back due to the slope ground. Article by Caterina Douli Photo by zagorohoria_greece

10′ away from Monolithi beach is the picturesque coastal city Preveza. If it’s past noon and all you can think about is fresh fish with an iced beer or ouzo, there’s no better place to find them than the taverns in the alleys of Preveza. Leave your car and head to “Agora” (Ethnikis Antistaseos Street). Follow the cobblestones and enter the alleys opposite the large clock (which, in fact, is the bell tower of the Agios Charalambos church). Article by Eleni Koutrouba Photo by vagelis_giotopoulos

Actually, one of the reasons that I love Ioannina is that I can see history in almost every corner; From the street’s names to a simple walk into the city.

If you want to enjoy the best view of the city, you have two options; If you have a car, you should visit the village of Lingiades.
