Central Greece Overview

Situated at the crossroads of the country, the expansive region of Central Greece is rugged and authentic, offering lush mountains and rural charm that are not to be missed. Stretching from the foothills of Mount Olympus in the north to the peaceful seaside villages that dot the shore of the Gulf of Corinth, Central Greece’s Alpine summits give way to lively cities that make this region as diverse as it is charming. Walk the monasteries teetering on the cliffs of Meteora; they have to be seen to be believed. Visit the ruins of the renowned oracle at Delphi or kick back at the perfectly preserved small town of Metsovo. The idyllic Makrynitsa in the Mt. Pelion peninsula is the perfect vantage-point for seeing the twinkling lights of the popular seaside getaway of Volos.
