Astypalea - the magic of light sleep. Here the architectural aesthetics of the Cyclades and the culture of the Dodecanese are closely intertwined. The natural charm of this island does not interfere with the presence of man. On the contrary, it enlivens this charming picture with bright juicy strokes.

Zakynthos

Another bright star in the constellation of the Greek Islands. An island with its own unique magic and atmosphere filled with subtle aromas. The Venetians who visited Zakynthos, impressed by the splendor that opened their eyes, called it nothing more than the "Flower of the East" ("Zante, fiore di Levante").

Kalambaka

Kalambaka, like many other regions of Greece, has a rather ancient origin and is mentioned in the writings of ancient Greek historians in 167 BC. e. Kalambaka is most notable for the “soaring in the sky” monasteries of Meteora. The first monasteries on the 600-meter-high rocks of Meteora appeared in the 14th century, however, already in the 10th century, hermit monks, seeking solitude with God, settled on the impregnable rocks. Thanks to the active development of the region's infrastructure in the second half of the 20th century, today thousands of tourists from all over the world can visit the majestic rocks, feel the spirituality of this place and enjoy the stunning panoramas from the tops of the Meteora rocks.

Kalymnos

Once famous for its fearless sponge divers, and today the goal of anyone who follows the rule of "movement is life", Kalymnos is becoming more and more popular destination for lovers of not only the sea, but also the rocks.

One of the last climbing festivals took place here in May 2009.

Karditsa

Karditsa is a relatively young city, by Greek standards, of course. Despite this, in the architecture of Karditsa there are both ancient and Roman, as well as classical heritage. The city is located in the middle of the Thessalian plain and enjoys a typical Mediterranean climate with hot summers and cold winters. In the winter months, snow often falls in Karditsa - a rather rare occurrence for Greece, which attracts winter lovers here, both from Greece itself and from nearby countries.

Kastelorizo

Another gem in the collection of small islands of the Dodecanese archipelago. It was here in 1991. An Italian film about the Second World War "Mediterranean" was shot, which later won an Oscar in the nomination "Best Foreign Film". A very distinctive and at the same time traditional, despite its foreign name, island.

Kastoria

For many, Kastoria has been and continues to be one of the most colorful and attractive cities in mainland Greece.

Mykonos

The most secular island of the Aegean, and in the summer season - perhaps the whole of Europe, Mykonos is located in the center of the Cyclades Archipelago. Its area is only 86.125 square kilometers, and the number of permanent residents is almost 9,500. But in summer, the island literally “bends” from the tramp of tens of thousands of tourists, walking in the morning and evening along the narrow cobbled streets of the capital-port of Hora, and in the evening dancing and having fun in hundreds of bars , restaurants and pubs of the island. Mykonos can be called a veteran tourist movement in Greece, as Western tourists "discovered" it for themselves in the early 60s.

Naxos

An island that raised more than one god. A place where myths have become an integral part of the life of local residents, their history and culture.
