5 Reasons Why We Miss Greece!

My husband and I visited Greece for the first time in November 2022, and we instantly fell in love with this beautiful country. Greece is a land of stunning islands, rich history, mouthwatering cuisine, welcoming hospitality, and picturesque UNESCO World Heritage Sites (currently 18). Even now, months after our trip, we always find ourselves missing Greece… and here are five reasons why!

1. Breakthaking Waters and Islands

We can never get enough of Greece’s stunning islands. The signature blue waters and sandy beaches of Mykonos and Santorini are simply breathtaking. Whether taking a stroll or enjoying the view with a cup of Greek coffee, the islands offered a serene and relaxing atmosphere that never failed to make us feel at peace.

2. Rich Historical Architecture

We enjoyed exploring Greece’s castles, each with its unique story to tell. The castle in Napflio was one of our favorite spots, and its history was awe-inspiring. From its imposing walls and towers to its stunning views of the sea, the castle was a true testament to Greece’s rich past.

3. Fresh Meditteranean Cuisine

Greek food is simply delicious. We always miss the fresh seafood, juicy meat dishes, and flavorful Mediterranean salads. Our favorite dishes included moussaka, souvlaki, grilled octopus tail, and Greek salad (cheeses were absolute heaven)! Every bite was a delight, and we can’t wait to try new dishes on our next visit.

4. The Greek Hospitality

Greek people are some of the warmest and most welcoming people we’ve ever met. We were greeted and taken care of so many places that we visited. Greeks are proud of their country and culture, and they love sharing it with visitors.

5. UNESCO World Heritage Sites

The UNESCO World Heritage Site of Meteora was a must-visit. The breathtaking landscape of the towering rock formations and the historic monasteries perched atop them was a sight to behold. It was a true wonder of nature and a testament to human perseverance.

In conclusion, Greece is a country that has captured our hearts, and we absolutely can’t wait to be back. The beautiful islands, rich historical castles, mouthwatering cuisine, welcoming hospitality, and picturesque UNESCO World Heritage Sites are just a few of the reasons why we always miss Greece. If you haven’t been to Greece yet, you’re missing out on an unforgettable experience. Plan your trip, and let Greece enchant you too.
