GREECE

Greece needs no introduction and I’ve visited both the mainland and islands many times, Here’s some articles from recent trips to the mainland. Visit Meteora for its ancient monasteries perched improbably on towering rock pillars. Enjoy the buzzing capital city of Athens and it;s quieter seaside sibling, Thessaloniki. It’s perfectly possible to visit all three in a single trip, and I’ve put together an itinerary so you can do this. Or you could travel onward over the border to North Macedonia or Albania.
