Attica

Home to the nation’s capital, Attica is the most populous region in the country. While Athens, with its monuments, museums and mesmerizing historical sights is the undoubted highlight of the area, there are a wealth of other great things for you to see and do.

Located on a peninsula jutting out into the Aegean Sea, Attica is home to a number of beautiful mountains; these contrast delightfully with the low lying plains that house most of the region’s population and the scenic coastline that is bordered by such inviting waters.

Besides the capital, one of the main draws here is the Athens Riviera, which runs from the port of Piraeus all the way to Sounio. Along this stretch of coastline, you’ll find some beaches, seaside resorts, and a plethora of restaurants, bars, and hotels.

Central Greece

Central Greece is bordered on three sides by water; the Ionian Sea lies to its west, the Corinthian Gulf to its south, and the Aegean Sea to its east. Despite its long coastline, the region is very mountainous, with a number of peaks looming to over 2,000 meters. Many gleaming lakes and gurgling rivers can be found hidden away in its picturesque countryside.

Alongside the peaceful seaside towns of Itea, Galaxidi, and Messolonghi, there are lots of other interesting places to visit. The ruins of Delphi and the Ossios Loukas Monastery are among the most impressive.

The large island of Euboea is also included as part of Central Greece; it too has some beautiful scenery on show. Glorious mountains lie next to its rugged shoreline, and the towns of Chalcis and Eretria are home to several interesting archaeological sites

Epirus

Lying between the Pindus mountain range and the Ionian Sea, Epirus borders Albania in the northwest of Greece. Most of its territory is covered in mountains and forests, with the Vjose and Acheron rivers running through it, and dramatic valleys and gorges to explore, such as the spectacular Vikos Gorge.

While the interior is very alpine in terms of its climate and topography, the coast is blessed with warm Mediterranean temperatures, and is home to many charming fishing villages, such as Ammoudia, Parga, and Syvota.

There plenty of history to discover throughout the region, with the fantastic walled city of Ioannina and the Bridge of Arta among its main draws. In the municipality of Zagori, you’ll find breathtaking mountains, endless forests, and impressive gorges.

Thessaly

Home to a diverse array of landscapes, Thessaly is bordered by the Pindus mountain range to the west. Its two principal cities of Trikala and Larissa are located on a low-lying plain that leads to coastal mountains at Ossa and Pelion, as well as the glimmering Aegean Sea. Despite having been ruled by the Ottomans for over four hundred years, there is very little in the way of buildings or monuments in Thessaly to show for it.

The main attraction in the region are the incredible mountaintop monasteries at Meteora, which are breathtakingly beautiful. The stunning scenery at Plastira Lake and Olympos National Park also draws a fair share of visitors, who come for the fantastic hiking and photogenic panoramas.

Due to its fertile soils, there is lots of picturesque countryside in Thessaly, with sprawling farmland giving way to dramatic mountains and charming villages. The quaint seaside towns of Amaliapolis and Agria should be on any traveler’s itinerary.

Macedonia

The largest region in the whole of Greece, Macedonia encompasses much of the northern realms of the country. It is bursting with incredible mountain scenery, stunning beaches, and fascinating historic cities and towns. It is in this part of Greece that most of the ancient kingdom of Macedon was once found, so as you travel around, you’ll find many monuments to Alexander the Great.

While much of the region is quite mountainous, it is Macedonia’s lovely coastline, beaches, and seaside towns that attract the most visitors. The majority of tourists head to the three narrow peninsulas of Chalkidiki or the area surrounding Mount Olympus, from which you can climb the legendary mountain.

There is history at every turn here; the ancient towns of Kavala and Veria are worth checking out, while the lively capital of the region, Thessaloniki — also the second-largest city in the country — is also delightful to visit. For amazing mountain scenery and archaeological ruins, many people head to Drama, while Mount Athos and its monastic communities also make for an interesting trip.
