How to Make Your Greece Holidays Truly Worth Cherishing

by Daisy Wilkinson Travel Guides

Greece is a fascinating European country located in the continent's southern parts. Most of the people in this world recognise it as a nation that gave birth to the concept of modern democracy and a place that saw the development of Western civilisation. You can find 18 UNESCO World heritage sites while getting around in this country. All of them remind tourists of the rich history that the island has to offer for them. However, Greece is not all about history and ancient sites. There are many beautiful natural features worth exploring in this part of the world. During your time spent in this wonderful country, you'll also get to savour the delectable treats of the local cuisine.

You can plan your Greece holidays during the spring and early summer season, which begins in mid-April and lasts until mid-June. While planning your holidays, you can also consider the autumn season, which arrives in the month of September and stays until mid-October. These are the times when you'll get lesser crowds of tourists and some excellent deals on hotel stays. The peak tourist season in the country is summer from June to September. It is characterised by higher temperatures during the daytime and inflated room rates of hotels. The coldest time in Greece is the period between the months of December and March. During this time of the year, life almost comes to a standstill in this nation in the winters.

The cheap holidays to Greece would give you the opportunity to explore the country's most popular attractions. They include some historic structures situated in the heart of modern Athens, such as Acropolis. It is a part of the temple complex that was constructed during the 5th century, BC, and is a rock mound. You'll also get to explore the Parthenon, which has a large roof supported by 58 columns. A visit to this complex would also give you the chance to explore some other ancient structures like the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Roman Forum.

While enjoying your cheap holidays to Greece, you'll get the opportunity to be in the Acropolis Museum. One of the Greek capital's most-visited tourist attractions, this museum was designed by Bernard Tschumi, a Swiss architect, and was opened in 2009. There are some fabulous exhibits worth exploring in this museum, such as the ancient sculptures of Caryatids and Moschophoros. After having spent much time exploring the exhibits, you can take a break and enjoy a cup of coffee at a restaurant and cafe located at the terrace.

If there's one particular attraction you can't afford to miss while in Greece, it would be the gorgeous island of Santorini. Of all the Greek islands, it is the most popular and favoured by honeymooners and leisure tourists alike. The Cycladic cubic buildings in this part of Greece are painted entirely in white shades and most of them have been converted into elegant hotels with modern facilities like infinity pools today. Mykonos is another enchanting island you can explore while holidaying in Greece.
