Greece is a perfect destination for active holidays, with its abundance of cultural sites, bountiful lands and water-sport options.
You can alternate between the magnificent beaches and the plethora of historical sites. Crumbling columns and ancient structures can be found everywhere across the country, from the middle of the sleepiest countryside to the centre of the busiest city. You can take a trip to Athens to see the capital, the magnificent Acropolis and Parthenon. Another trip to the mainland can take you to Olympia, the Olympic flame and the Temple of Zeus.
Alongside the rich and illustrious history of the country, Greece also boasts some of the most amazing beaches in all of Europe. With more coastline that any other country in the continent, it is a beach-lover’s paradise. With its clear waters and rich marine life, Greece is perfect for diving, especially from the islands of Amorgos and Lemnos, as well as Halkidiki in the Aegean Sea, or Lefkas Island in the Ionian Sea.
Lesvos (in the Aegean Sea ) is extremely good for water-skiing and many other wind-related sports. It is great for mountain biking too, as is the whole country with its diversity of terrains. And if you are a fan of kite-surfing, the island of Rhodes is a popular choice for this great activity. Greece is also wonderful for yachting, owing to its wealth of warm waters and frequent balmy breeze.
