The Greek Mainland

The Greek Mainland Luxury Holidays

The Birth Place of Democracy

Layers of History, Mythology and Philosophy

Delve into a land steeped in thousands of years of history
 

Nestled between the crystal blue waters of the Ionian and Aegean Seas, the Greek mainland is a world of mythical beauty ready to be explored. To appreciate the Greek mainland fully it’s recommended that guests travel as widely as possible as there are many sights to see and experiences to share. From the varied coastline to the cities, towns and villages, you’ll discover the warmth and charm of the Greek people on an amazing odyssey into this Mediterranean nation.

Varied natural wonders

Luxurious vacations on the Greek mainland offer an intensely varied landscape for your eyes to behold. Wander the powder white sand peninsula beaches that stretch out across Halkidiki and appreciate Aegean views. Stroll through the pine scented forests of Sithonia to discover hidden coves and sparkling creeks. The Pelion Peninsula presents an almost Eden-like beauty with fruit orchards, wild nut trees and olive groves lorded over by mountain peaks like the mighty Pourianos Stavros. All are beautifully bordered by the curving coastline and stunning shorefront. For snow and skiing Parnassus is a must.

Your visit to the Greek mainland doesn’t have to be restricted to land either. There are plenty of opportunities to gain the oceanic perspective with coastal charter boats and from the deck of luxury yachts. Fantastic opportunities for diving are also available as well as exclusive fishing trips. Explore the islets and coveted coves of the Greek mainland and uncover its secrets.

From luxury hotels to exquisite villas hidden away in lush hilltop olive groves, you’ll discover a wondrous array of well-appointed accommodation when you’re visiting the Greek mainland. Alternatively, there are plenty of opportunities for high-end camping in exotic out-of-the-way locations. A cornucopia for fresh produce, the Greek mainland offers a banquet of delights for travellers in search of rich flavours. From the diverse selections of olives to the sensational salads bursting with freshness, your taste buds are in for treat. Smell hot oven baked breads infused with local herbs long before they reach your table, while traditional dishes can be found served in local villages. Freshly caught seafood grilled to perfection and the bean soup fasolada are not to be missed.

Exceptional for archaeological adventures, you can investigate the Greek mainland’s ancient treasures on a trip through the past. From the Acropolis in Athens, Delphi at the foot of Mount Parnassus out to the stadium at Olympia, there are many surviving relics to explore.
