4 destinations to visit this Christmas


Despite the fact that there is still more than a month until Christmas, many have begun to think about where to spend it. Winter lovers have the opportunity to book a vacation in the most beautiful corners of Greece.

With winter approaching and Christmas always a popular holiday season, many families are already starting to think about where they can go to experience the magic of the holidays and get some rest. If you too have started looking for where to spend your Christmas holidays, we have prepared a list of the 4 best places in Greece that are really worth visiting during the holidays.

Arachova
Arachova is one of the first places that definitely comes to mind when you think of winter destinations. Every year during Christmas and New Year there is an influx of people here, and if you leave everything for later and suddenly remember at the last minute, then you risk not finding a free hotel room. If you haven’t been to Arachova yet, make plans to visit this magnificent place! Of course, you shouldn’t lose sight of the road to Parnassus and the ski resort, where you can enjoy hot chocolate. There is perhaps no better way to spend the holidays in the snow-covered spruce forest and colorful Greek villages decorated with colorful lights.

Trikala
This popular spot is especially great (and convenient) for families with young children. Be sure to visit the Elven Mill, go ice skating and visit the chocolate factory. Don’t forget to check out the Christmas market and, of course, the house of Ai Vasilis (Father Frost).

Kastoria
The picturesque town has become a popular destination in recent years, and for good reason. This year the Christmas Village Μαγική Λιμνοπολιτεία will be opened here, where events will be held for children and adults.

Pelion
Pelion, with its wonderful villages, is another very good choice for Christmas and New Year celebrations. In Portaria you will find a small green oasis ideal for walking – the Centaur Trail. The ski resort located near Chania is definitely worth a visit. This pretty village has many tourist shops and traditional guesthouses where you can stay and have a great time.
