On My Greek Bucket List

After hanging out and visiting many of the islands of Greece, I decided that Greece has other amazing places to see that aren’t islands but are on the mainland of Greece. I have been to Athens but have not made it to the interior of Greece.

The areas of  Greece I want to see are Delphi and Meteora. They are still on my bucket list, who knows maybe this summer I will see them. Delphi and Meteora are harder to get to and require a car, plane trip or bus ride. Therefore, a while a little more expensive to visit, they are still on my bucket list.

A Point to Know: Women are not allowed in areas of Meteora because it is a Monastery. Some areas are only open to men.

 Photos Essay

All of my recommendations are extremely beautiful islands for traveling solo women, men, and couples. Always check with US Program called STEP for the latest news and reports. These islands are a great value and will continue to offer reduced rates while the refugee crisis remains an issue. The crisis is declining because of the Turkish Coast Guard’s intervention and stopping of the smugglers. Sometimes the news dramatizes the effects of the refugee immigration and does not communicate how well the Greek tourism offices and the region’s economy can cope with challenging situations. The refugee situation doesn’t affect all areas of Greece. Check with the State Department for the best, up-to-date information.
