Likened often to Mykonos, Skiathos has a luxury scene and a fancy clientele that may actually cloud its beauty and authenticity. Like all Greek islands however, it still boasts many interesting attractions and some outdoor activities, which are best enjoyed outside the top peak months of July and August.

When it comes to vacationing in Greece, what’s the first thing you think of? If you’re like most holiday-dreamers, the first images that come to mind include endless white-sand beaches, sparkling blue seas, and squat whitewashed homes dotting hilly islands. But what about the parts of Greece that are landlocked, on the mainland, without any of the iconic aspects of Greece that we all love? Well, if you choose to visit one of these regions, and especially Trikala, you’re in for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to experience a part of Greece most people will never know.

Trikala (Meteora, Pertouli)

Let's put it simply: you're going to fall in love with Magnesia, the prefecture that is home to the peninsula of Pelion, stone-built villages, pristine beaches, nearby islands, ancient sites and year-round wonders. This is the land of the daring Argonauts and mythological Centaurs, living on the outskirts of the ancient Greek world with its rich forests, majestic mountains and open seas. Read more bellow...

There's an impressive success story surrounding Lake Karla, one about ecological progress, hope and sustainability that can stand as a model for many areas of the world. A few decades ago in the 1960s, fuelled by a misguided vision to increase farmland, the authorities emptied ancient Lake Karla and caused major damage to an ecosystem that was thousands of years old. Wetlands perished and biodiversity suffered, taking with them the livelihood of whole communities as well. The mythical Lake Voeveis-Karla – once described as a paradise where they Argonauts built their kingdom – now lay barren.

There's a stunning contrast to be experienced in the prefecture of Karditsa, from the continuous plains of Thessaly to the mountains of Agrafa and the villages dotting the shores of Lake Plastira. Apart from the peaks and endless views of unspoilt nature, adventure lovers will also be lured by the Acheloos river and the massifs of Argithea.

If you ask someone in Greece to name the most eco-friendly island, they would most likely tell you it's Alonnisos. Situated 40 kilometers south of the Pelion peninsula, Alonnisos belongs to the group of lush green islands called the Sporades, which lie idyllically in the Northern Aegean.

If you've always dreamed of going to an unspoiled Greek island with a traditional way of life and without mass tourism, Skyros is it.

Ikaria is an island that many know of yet few ever get to experience. It's a place that has caught the attention of the media the world over, yet where many of its residents have never travelled away from. It's an island rich in natural resources, inhabited by people who are reluctant to exploit them. Acting as an Aegean Mecca for surfers, mountain climbers and cyclists, while still living life at a snail's pace. If you're searching for the Greece of days past, a milieu of breathtaking landscapes and welcoming locals, Ikaria will not disappoint.

Skopelos Island is the greenest island in Greece! It is covered in a network of ancient cobbled trails that for many years fell into disuse until English resident, Heather Parsons decided to find, clear, reinstate and mark them with the aid of volunteers. This is one authentic Greek island that hasn’t lost touch with its culture, heritage and tradition, and has conserved its environment relatively well in recent decades.
