Green Travel Guides to Greece

Welcome to Green Traveller's Guides to Greece - our free online guides to wonderful holiday destinations in this incredible country, packed with tips on where to sleep, eat, shop and visit. The guides have been compiled in collaboration with the individual authorities in the destinations as well as with the Greece National Tourism Organisation for the UK and Ireland.

Written by our team of travel writers and with many of the photos taken by our photographers, the aim of these guides is to show you how you can visit these wonderful destinations in a way that has a low impact on the environment and a positive effect on the livelihoods of the local people, and on landscape and biodiversity, providing residents and visitors with a genuine sense of place.

Each guide lists a selection of characterful places to stay, places to eat and drink local seasonal food, and suggestions for the best days out, multi-day activities and family holidays. We have also produced short videos filmed on our visit to each destination.
