Peloponnese in Greece is in the center of other destinations where there are so many things to do by the beach and more ancient places to visit. Greece Vacations will take you to a more private time filled with well deserved leisure activities and entertainment as you enjoy the water and sun. In Peloponnese, you will be surrounded by great beaches where you can just bask in the sun and feel the sea breeze calm your senses.

Get some laid back time at the Paila Epidaurus Beach and feel the relaxing vibe as you are bounded by flourishing pine trees and get to know the people here with their simple joys such as a mini-theatre just a few walks away. The Ermioni Beach is a tiny and pebbly beach but this does not prevent locals and visitors from enjoying its crystal blue waters and the shade of trees nearby. You will never run out of exciting ideas to do in this tranquil paradise.
Greece Vacations in the lovely Dodecanese Islands
In the northeastern part of the Aegean lies the island complex of Dodecanese which is one of the most challenging Greece Vacations to go to in the region because of its barren and rugged terrain. Agathonisi is a small island at the northern part of the Dodecanese island group with a very small population that makes a quite living by fishing and animal farming within a place known for its beautiful and windless bays that ships find shelter in during storms; its a haven for travelers seeking a quite adventure. Sponge-fishing has become a big part of the lives of Kalymnos islanders that they often hold celebrations at the start and end of every sponge season which goes along well with scenic views of old churches and ancient castles; fishing is good in these parts so bring your rods along. The island of Astypalia is littered with old churches, and medieval ruins that attract a lot of tourists together with windmills and small houses that make for an enchanting island experience. Visit Dodecanese Islands if you want to experience the real island life.
Greece Vacations in Pelion
The peninsula of Pelion is a stunning backdrop to any kind of Greece Vacations that feature a beautiful mix of mountain ranges, waterfalls, and of course, the beaches. Millies or apples trees are all over Millies Village in Pelion, the biggest producers of fine apples in the area and with beautifully old mansions and contrasting olive trees alongside the mountain where its located; one cannot help but be charmed especially knowing its also the site of a cave that was once the house of Chiron, the mythological Centaur. Tall trees, luscious greens, and a beautiful beach line make Agios Ioannis near the village of Kissos in Pelion an attractive place for travelers from all over the world. The Tsagarada village where old restored churches can be found is surprisingly located in the middle of a chestnut wood forest where one can experience the calm atmosphere and the joys of outdoor getaways. If you plan on going to Greece, be sure to make a stop at Pelion.
Greece Vacations in Delphi
Once touted as the center of the earth, a junction where heaven and earth meets, Delphi is a Greek destination you want to include as part of your Greece Vacations. Go to Mount Parnassus to enjoy skiing during winter months or hike it during warm season and feel the mystique that once enveloped this great mountain. Aside from the Acropolis in Athens, the Temple of Apollo is the most sought after place in Greece due to the Oracle of Delphi which once resided there, answering peoples queries about their fortunes; even today many believe in its divinity and its link to the god Apollo. If you want further proof of the affinity of the ancient people to the oracle, visit the Delphi Archaeological Museum to see the artifacts discovered in the Temple of Apollo which are mostly sacrificial offerings to the gods. The argument of it being the center of the earth is moot but Delphi is one Greek town you will not regret visiting.
