Last summer my family and I took 10-day vacation to Greece, and spent most of our time in Athens and the Peloponnese, seeing different famous historical sites, enjoying the beautiful Greek beaches and amazing food; and staying in great Airbnbs during the entire trip. Here are 6 very recommendable places that we visited and absolutely loved, from the big city of Athens to those famous but small towns that give you a real taste of the Greek lifestyle.

-Athens

Athens is a big city with a lot of history. Although the city itself is pretty dirty and busy, its historical sites are amazing. The modern part of the it is built around these old structures and it’s fun to walk around and discover different things. The amazing Acropolis at the top of the city is visible from almost everywhere and if you would rather enjoy some time by the seaside it is also a perfect place for that.

-Nafplio

Nafplio is an absolutely beautiful, small Greek city in the Peloponnese. It is extremely homey, with beautiful sites and views, and amazing people. The beaches are just as wonderful, and if I had to choose somewhere in Greece to live it would definitely be here.

-Kalamata

I mean, look at that picture. Kalamata is a beautiful beach town, perfect for a relaxing summer vacation.

-Delphi

In Greek mythology, Delphi is the center of the world. It is located high up in the mountains and has an insane amount of history and sites to visit, from sacred water to Greek oracles. Everyone needs to go to Delphi at some point in their life.

-Epidavros Theatre

Do you like theater? How about visiting one of the very first ones ever? This is one of the most famous Greek theatres, where they put on well-known ancient Greek plays such as Oedipus Rex.

-Katákolo

One of the best beaches I have ever been to. Spend some days relaxing in Katácolo and forget about all your worries because, at the end of the day, that is what a vacation is for, and also what Greece does best!
