For travellers to Greece who may wish to revel in the country’s history and cultural heritage and are less fussed about island hopping, sunbathing and swimming the cooler months between October-March are the perfect time to go.
The great historic sites of Greece including Delphi, Olympia, the Acropolis and Parthenon in Athens, Corinth, Epidaurus, Mycenae and Crete are easily accessible and free of crowds.
You don’t have to be a history buff to marvel at the magnificence and beauty of Ancient Greek buildings, sculpture and art. At the same time restaurants, tavernas, markets and entertainment centres are as lively as they are in summer and often at lower prices.
Greece and Mediterranean Travel Centre has many tour options to make the most of the splendours of ancient Greek history.
The 7 day Ancient Greece Tour and the 10 Day Best of Greece tours operate all year, the latter tour including three nights in Santorini which is the most scenically spectacular island in Greece but also famous for its incredible remnants of Minoan civilization.
GMTC has a wide range of tour options for off season visitors.
For those who want to travel independently car rental in conjunction with accommodation is a popular option.
