Our tips for Greece

Greece is so much more than whitewashed villages and blue domes. The mainland is all monasteries on rock pillars, ancient ruins and mountain villages, while the islands are made for a beach holiday or a spot of island hopping. We spent a whole winter driving around the mainland in our camper, from Kastoria in the far north to Monemvasia on the Peloponnese. In Meteora we visited five monasteries and hiked old trails to the hermit caves, and in Delphi we turned up to find the doors shut. Within a single week we went from a dip in the sea to the mountains, where the inside of our camper windows froze overnight. We've also been to Athens twice for a city break. Here you'll find our tips for Athens, Meteora, Delphi and the Peloponnese, plus islands like Santorini, Kos, Zakynthos and Sifnos.
