Do you know such a state on the world map where “everything is there”? The joking expression is 100% true: the Greek Republic can be compared to a giant super-resort. The industrial-agrarian country is one of the main centers of world tourism. Resorts in Greece are focused on different categories of travelers.
Crete
The popularity of the largest Greek island bears the imprint of a special mysticism. Agree: the very fact of resting in the “homeland of all gods and people” (this is the role attributed to Crete by ancient myths) sets you up for something special. Every year, 2.5 million tourists rest here. Each of the areas of Crete is unique. The west coast is not so visited by tourists.
It makes sense to choose it for travelers who prefer to enjoy the authentic atmosphere of old houses, cobbled streets, admire one-time sand, spend evenings in taverns tasting national cuisine. The East Coast is great for families with children. There are corners of nature untouched by civilization and luxurious VIP hotels where you can meet world stars at any time of the year.
Heraklion is a city named after the great Hercules. Thanks to the developed infrastructure and the mild Mediterranean climate, you can have a great rest here. For lovers of city life – large and small shops, restaurants – exquisite and family-friendly, as well as entertainment centers and spas.

Rethymno is a place where everyone will find a corner to their liking. This city has many advantages. First, the location. It is quite close to the capital and is located next to the main natural attractions of the island – the Balos lagoon, the Samaria Gorge and others. Secondly, Rethymno itself is very beautiful. Its ancient buildings and streets make you remember Byzantium. At the same time, there are many modern hotels here, and the evening life is just seething. Thirdly, its beaches stretch for a dozen and a half kilometers. There are secluded bays, which are chosen by romantic couples, and “children's” beaches with a gentle entrance to the sea.

By choosing Chania for your vacation, you can save a lot of money. There are not so many tourists here, so the prices in hotels and restaurants are moderate. At the same time, the climate here is better than in other parts of Crete. In summer, the sea warms up well, but holidaymakers do not suffer from the sweltering heat. If Rethymno resembles Byzantium, then Chania is Venice. The old houses here are definitely built in the Venetian style.
Many of the hotels are also housed in historic buildings. As for restaurants, nowhere do they serve such delicious national dishes as here. Those who come to Crete to sunbathe and swim should pay attention to other resort places in this part of the island – Stalos, Elafonissi, Stavros.
Corfu
This beautiful island has been inhabited since ancient times. Moreover, they fought for it, during the wars it often passed from hand to hand. Therefore, the heritage of many peoples is noticeable in the culture of Corfu. This applies to the language, and cooking, and architecture. But the traditions of the ancestors are honored here. They live measuredly and calmly, revere the elders, celebrate local holidays. Ancient towns, remembering the ancient Romans, have now become resorts.

Peloponnese
The resort area is located in the southern part of mainland Greece.

Hair
A situation unique for Europe and typical for Greece: the status of a major industrial center did not prevent the city from becoming a popular tourist destination.

The port city is often called the unofficial capital of the state. It is adored by fans of boat trips, beach holidays.

Many travelers specially come to the island to admire the sandy bay of Sarakiniko, its shimmering white rocks. It makes sense to choose Milos for recreation for those who love “educational programs“, prefer to combine beach activities, walks along hiking trails with visits to museum expositions.
Which particular resort to choose for a family vacation depends on the age of the children and the month when the family plans to travel. In summer, you can go to any city located on the sea coast. If the trip is planned for early spring or late autumn, it is worth taking a closer look at Crete, Rhodes, Zakynthos, it is warm there at this time.

Young people quite often choose Greece for their holidays. There are many resorts where you can have a good time and at the same time save money. Especially popular are the islands of Crete and Rhodes, the peninsula of Halkidiki. In the local resorts, discos and bars work almost around the clock. At the same time, youth parties are located far from places of family recreation, and no one interferes with each other. Holidays on the island of Mykonos will cost a little more – it is preferred by the “golden youth” of Europe.
Noisy and fun you can relax in the area of Kallithea (Chalkidiki). In the high season, there is literally nowhere for an apple to fall, and young people will definitely not be left without new friends. If you want to see other Greek islands, you should take a closer look at Corfu and Zakynthos, these are also interesting options for young people. And, of course, Athens is waiting for energetic young tourists – along with many attractions.
Most tourists perceive holidays in Greece as a beach holiday. In fact, you can come to the country for different purposes. Someone flies here in winter to go skiing, someone is attracted by the opportunity to see architectural monuments in those months when there is no heat.
Some tourists buy a fur coat tour in order to leave the country with a new thing, while others cannot imagine a vacation without swimming in the sea. The beach season officially opens in May.

In addition, May is a very beautiful time when everything around is blooming.
In summer, the resorts are very hot, especially in July and August, the sea warms up to + 25 ° C, and in shallow water up to + 28 ° C. The hottest island is called Kos. And yet, these hot months are considered high season, which means that prices rise significantly. In September the weather is much nicer. The air during the day is heated to + 25-26 ° C, and the sea is still very warm. In October, you can also sunbathe and swim, the water temperature reaches +23°C. Only now the daylight hours are already short, this must be taken into account in your plans. By the end of October it starts to rain and most of the tourists leave.

It is already very warm, you can walk in summer clothes, and the prices are still low. Gardens are blooming, and Greece is a real paradise on earth. In autumn, you can also see the antiquities, but there is a risk of staying in a hotel due to prolonged rains.
A lot of tourists come for Christmas and New Year, prices go up. From December to April, skiing enthusiasts gather at the ski resorts – there are about two dozen of them.

Such is beautiful Greece. Generous and hospitable, you will definitely like it.
