4 ideas for winter road trips in Greece

4 ideas for winter road trips in Greece

Weekend is almost here! So, the Greek editor Dimitris Stathopoulos invites us to follow four different routes in Greece, enjoy beautiful images and exchange experiences.

On the slopes of Pelion

Our first stop is Pelion, the mountain of the Centaurs. It forms an enjoyable combination of sea and mountain, while the beautiful villages, the atmospheric boutique hotels and the amazing rich local cuisine, make for the perfect getaway.

We visit the cosmopolitan Portaria and Makrinitsa, and then Milies, Pinakates and Vizitsa. Tsagarada and Mouresi will enchant all those who wish to enjoy activities in the nature.

For our stay, we choose 12 Months Luxury Resort, hotel-member of Tresor Hotels & Resorts, for the amazing view it offers, as well as the most sophisticated aspect of Tsagarada.

In the heart of Epirus

We discover the picturesque Ioannina covered by a cloud of dense fog. Above Pamvotida lake, or the lake of “Miss Frosini”, which is the town’s landmark, stands the mountain of Mitsikeli.

In the lake, we meet an islet. It is a well protected diamond in the northwestern part of the lake and it is one of the two inhabited islands in a lake in Greece.

Meteora is our destination

You won’t believe your eyes the first time you will see the rocks of Meteora. We are 25 km. away from Trikala and the rocks stand imposingly, as if they want to protect Kalambaka.

Meteora is protected by UNESCO and form the second largest complex of monasteries in Greece.

In the area, we choose the modern “Ananti City Resort”, on a hilltop of Trikala city offering breathtaking views to the plain of Thessaly. The hotel ideally combines the comforts of a city boutique hotel with the relaxing atmosphere and the services of a resort.

Let’s go to Peloponnese

We drive through the Canal of Corinth and head to the three beautiful villages, perched on the northeastern slopes of Ziria mountain, at an altitude of 1.000 m.

We reach Ano, Mesaia and Kato Trikala of Corinth, a popular destination for weekenders.

In the area, Pliadon Gi Mountain Resort & Spa offers 20 independent suites, ideal for moments of isolation, for families who love nature and groups of friends who seek a different suggestion to their winter holidays.
