Top 4 Hidden Gems of Greece 

Greece is a place of great wonder and natural beauty that is known on for the gorgeous white sand beaches, ancient temples, and countless islands. There are many places that are high in the list to visit when it comes to Greece such as Santorini and Mykonos. These two islands are two of the most popular islands visited in Greece and even though they also have their own attractions to tourists, such as the whitewashed villages, they are also considered some of the most overcrowded cities. For example, Santorini is where many of the perfect social media posts come from. Today I will be talking about some of the hidden gems of Greece, where you will find less tourists, and more adventures. 

The first place you must adventure out to when in Greece is the Melissani Lake Cave which is a lake cave on the island of Cephalonia. This gorgeous cave is surrounded by forests of trees but once you enter the cave, you enter crystal clear waters. Though there are many areas and beaches in Greece that allow tourists or visitors to swim Melissani Lake Cave is not one of them. In order to preserve its natural beauty, people are only allowed to have a quick boat ride through. This cave is also known as the Cave of the Nymphs in Greek mythology. In addition, it is considered a local attraction that is only open from May to October.  The view from inside the cave is truly magnificent with plenty of light shining from above, only illuminating the blue water. 

Another location that is a must see in Greece is the Mani Peninsula that is located between the Laconian and Messenian Gulfs in Peloponnese.  Most of this terrain is considered a mountainous region of rocks and cliffs that roll into the turquoise water below them. Apart from the terrain, this is one of the locations that one can find some of the most authentic and traditional experiences in Greece full of culture and history, much like the rest of Greece. Within their society they value the importance of family always trying to ensure the survival of the family name and legacy which is the explanation for all of the tower houses. In the past the tower homes were used for protection during invasions and feuds because of the constant pressures of warfare and threats from pirates. 

The Vikos Gorge is one of the well-recognized canyons of the Greek people and often compared to the United States Grand Canyon. This gorge holds the Guinness World Record as the world’s deepest gorge at 3,300 ft deep. There are off beaten paths local people hike and this jaw dropping, eight-mile trail is considered one of the best hikes in Greece and recommended to everyone looking for scenic view and a workout. This hike is considered a point-to-point hike meaning that you will begin the hike in one location and end the hike in another location, in this case you can hike the gorge south to north or vice versa. 

Finally, there is a wonderful pebble beach on the island of Alonissos known as Tourkoneri beach. This beach is a little hidden, as you must travel all the way down a dirt road and across some rocks that surround it. There is also a pine forest behind the beach making this the perfect naturistic location. This forest is one of the sights that most intrigue people at this location as the pine forest literally ends inside the sea. There are also many other little beaches surrounding that you can visit while in the area.

Alonissos, Greklands orörda pärla

När man talar om Alonissos, en av de norra Sporaderna i Grekland, är det en berättelse om orörd natur, kristallklart vatten och en atmosfär som fångar essensen av traditionell grekisk livsstil. Denna ö, som ligger bortom det hektiska tempot i mer kända grekiska destinationer, erbjuder en unik kombination av lugn och naturskön skönhet.

Alonissos är känt för sitt marina nationalpark, den första och största i Grekland, vilket gör den till en idealisk plats för dykning och snorkling. De skyddade vattnen här är hem för ett rikt marint liv, inklusive den sällsynta Medelhavsmunkenrobben. En tur med båt runt öns bedövande stränder och gömda grottor är en upplevelse som lämnar varaktiga intryck, där det klarblå vattnet och de gröna pinjetäckta klipporna bildar en scen som tycks vara hämtad från en annan värld.

Öns huvudstad, Patitiri, är en charmig hamnstad där tradition och modernitet möts. Här kan besökare njuta av lokala delikatesser i de mysiga tavernorna eller utforska de små butikerna som erbjuder allt från traditionellt hantverk till moderna grekiska konstverk. Ett besök till Alonissos Museum erbjuder en djupare inblick i öns rika historia och traditioner.

För de som söker en mer avskild och meditativ upplevelse är de gamla stigarna som korsar ön perfekta för vandring. Att vandra genom olivlundar, över gamla stenbroar och förbi små kapell är som att ta ett steg tillbaka i tiden. Naturen här är ljudlös, förutom de melodiska tonerna av cykader och det mjuka suset från Medelhavets vindar.

De flesta reser till Alonissos genom att flyga till Skiathos och därifrån ta färjan till Alonissos. Under resan kan man förvänta sig att se det glittrande havet omkring sig, och kanske även delfiner som leker i vågorna. Färden tar vanligtvis mellan en och en halv till två timmar, beroende på vilken service man väljer och väderförhållanden. Vissa resenärer föredrar att resa med snabbfärjor för att minska restiden, medan andra väljer den långsammare resan för att fullt ut njuta av resan och de vackra vyerna.
