Think you know Greece?..think again.
A side I bet you’ve never seen before
When people ask me something like: ‘‘Have you been in Mexico? - In Argentina? - In Sahara?
My response is this: ‘‘Not yet!’’
I love to leave the options open. Life’s too short to limit ourselves, don’t you think?
Anyway.. back to our subject.
When you picture Greece, I believe in your mind is all about sandy beaches and sun-drenched islands? …. am I right?
Well, we’re here to shake things up.
Greece is small but yet so big in many ways.
History is one of the reasons.
Landscapes and nature another.
What I have gather for you today is different. Think of cozy mornings in a stone village surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Or spotting majestic brown bears and Dalmatian pelicans in serene northern landscapes. Maybe hiking a breathtaking gorge in Crete or even walking through the desert on Lemnos Island.
This is a part of Greece that many people ignore and miss out.
Our blog takes you deeper into Greece’s unexpected side, showcasing photos and stories that will completely change how you see this beautiful country.
✨What about Florina?
Two years ago, a snow-covered video near Florina went viral, racking up over 250 million views. This hidden gem offers stunning winter landscapes, a ski resort at Pisoderi, and charming villages like Nymphaion and Sklithro. Discover breathtaking lakes and even visit wildlife sanctuaries for brown bears and wolves. Only 3 hours drive from Thessaloniki
✨Lake Plastira
Nestled in central Greece, this tranquil area near Morfovouni combines serene lakeside views with lush mountain scenery—ideal for a peaceful escape.
✨The Summit of Kaimaktsalan
Experience the surreal beauty of Kaimaktsalan’s summit, where a snow-covered chapel looks like something out of a fairy tale.
✨ Lemnos Desert
Yes, Greece even has a desert! On Lemnos Island, golden dunes meet the Aegean Sea for an unforgettable contrast.
The Ammothines of Lemnos, located in the Gomati region, are a rare inland dune formation spread over 70 acres. Unlike coastal dunes, these sandy expanses were formed by wind transporting the sand, creating a miniature desert reminiscent of the Sahara.
This surreal landscape is dotted with low vegetation and framed by shrub-covered hills, with the distant sea adding a dreamy backdrop. It’s a photographer’s paradise and an unforgettable stop for any traveler exploring Lemnos Island.
