Travelers planning a trip to the Mediterranean will find no shortage of things to do in Greece. The country is extremely rich in historical and cultural sites, and many first time visitors wonder what to do in Greece begin with the historical symbols of Greece, such as the Parthenon and the Acropolis according to the Travel & Leisure. For the historically-minded, the Acropolis is a must-visit because it is accompanied by the Acropolis Museum. Travelers looking for things to do in Greece who appreciate the raw beauty of nature and Greece’s breathtaking landscape should make their way to Santori. One of the most picturesque islands in Greece, with cliff side villages that overlook the brilliant turquoise sea, Santori is a top destination for the aesthetically inclined. Shopping enthusiasts will be amazed at the variety of places to find great deals on traditional arts and crafts, Greek jewelry, weavings, and much more. The main shopping hubs in the area are located in Crete and Athens, but one-of-a-kind treasures can be found on nearly all of the Greek islands.
In addition to popular summer excursions, it is important to note that people planning to visit in the off-season will have no trouble figuring out what to do in Greece. One of the lesser known activities Greece is famous for is its amazing skiing resorts. Travelers planning to visit Greece during the winter months will delight in the majesty of the Grecian winter in locations like Pelion, Delphi, Macedonia, and the Peloponessos. The large amount of Grecian islands allows for travelers of all ages, backgrounds, personalities, and hobbies to enjoy a remarkable trip to Greece.
