Greece - My Absolute Favourites
Greece - Hellas.
The land of the Apollonian light and the Dionysian darkness. The land of surreal landscapes, rich history under every rock, fascinating myths in every corner. No matter how much I’ve seen in this country, there’s always so much more. Greece displays incredible diversity in altitudes, culture, customs, dialects, climates, you name it. Did you know that Greece has got one of the largest archipelagos in the world, with as many as 6,000 islands? At the same time, the Greek relief is 80% mountains. Amazing, right?
As Henry Miller had said: “It takes a lifetime to discover Greece, but only a moment to fall in love with her”.
In this guide, I’m giving you access to ALL of my personal favourite recommendations all across the country. Be it a stay, a taverna, an experience, you name it. Every single article is something that I have seen or done myself, probably have a very fond memory of, and want to give you all the chance to experience it as well.
