Tourism in Greece 希臘觀光旅遊

Some advice 小建言:

The best time to visit Greece is when Greeks themselves will not flood into their islands, otherwise you will be competing with local tourists for hotel space. Hotels are most expensive from about mid July to mid August, some hotels may have no price difference for the entire July and August. International tourists should try to avoid visiting Greek islands during the first 2 weeks of August. 來希臘觀光最好不要在八月第一、二星期去小島,因為希臘人那時也最喜歡去,所以這段時間旅館特別貴喔!

Featured Islands 較有特徵性小島

Santorini 聖托里尼 http://www.santorini.net/home.html
因為是火山島又發音較近san-do-ree-nee我比較喜歡叫它《山多瑞尼》,最近一次爆發是在1950年,有很美麗的夕陽景觀.

Rhodes 羅德斯 http://www.rhodesguide.com/, http://www.rhodestravels.com/
希臘文是Rodos,有美麗而完整的城堡,靠近Lindos有風景如畫的海灣.整個Rodos島很多北歐女沙灘上半裸日光浴,看多了見怪不怪,但小心希臘帥哥,飽個眼福就好了!

Crete 克里特島 http://www.explorecrete.com/, //www.4crete.gr/index_en.asp,
http://www.interkriti.org/, http://www.cretetravel.com/index.html
是一平凡的希臘最大島嶼, 在Iraklio附近有Minoan Civilization是最早的歐洲文明(2600-1400 BC),但若不是考古學家,可能不會太有興趣. 向東Elounda以超高級hotel聞名,超過Agios Nikolaos之後路越來越難開, 有荒涼之美.最東棕櫚沙灘Vai是保護區. Iraklio向西有Chaniahttp://www.chaniacrete.gr/. 但是我認為Crete最美是Samaria Gorge http://www.west-crete.com/samaria-gorge.htm,峽谷要5到6小時走完16公里,之後再搭船回Hora Sfakion, 要空出14小時並有意志力和体力的人才能完成這種挑戰,春天較佳,夏天怕太熱.

註:奇怪沒提到Mykonos,如你喜歡夜生活、吵的音樂,和遇世界各式各樣的人,當然也可以去走一趟.

Highlight of the mainland

Most tourists tend to neglect the cultural heritage tour of the Greek mainland. Some of the sites that may interest you include the following trips that can be completed in 1 day:
Towards the east of Athens: The temple of Poseidon at cape Sounio, http://blog.pixnet.net/hsuenchin/post/18184356.
Towards the west of Athens: The Korithos' canal, the ancient Mycenae, the biggest ancient theater Epidauros, the first capital of Greece after Ottoman Empire, Nafplio.
Trips that are recommended for overnight stay or 2 to 3 days are: ancient Olympia, Delphi, Meteora.
Trip that requires that you fly to Thessaloniki: Virgina, the location of the ancient Macedonia tomb and museum of the king Phillips (father of the Alexander the Great).

謝謝你的資訊
讓對希臘唯一資訊來自電影"我的希臘婚禮"的我來說幫助甚大
想請問你是否曾經有在希臘過冬過
因為一個希臘的朋友邀請我去過聖誕及誇年
但我知道最美的季節是10月前
所以我很為難,如果這一輩子只能去一次..
我要接受邀請嗎?
但不接受以後也說沒機會,就不會來深入希臘人家庭的機會了
苦惱...
謝謝你

我想來希臘最好是在四月到十月內,冬天會冷、且很多景點縮短開放時間,小島幾乎沒人去。煙火不如台北101壯觀。
希臘人慶祝復活節時可來走走,慶祝復活節比聖誕時隆重。
