Adventure Tours in Greece

If it’s good enough for the Greek gods Cupid and Poseidon, it’s definitely good enough for an adventurous soul like you. Known as one of the most mountainous countries in Europe, Greece is practically a hiking, backpacking, and camping heaven. Greece has more islands than you could count, so relaxing on a beach in Mykonos or merely breathing in the fresh sea salt air on a pristine white balcony in Santorini will definitely be the highlight of your trip. It’s time to extend an olive branch, take a chance, step on the next plane, and begin your adventure in Greece.

My Epic Summer With TFT

by: Noah Livstone - United StatesProgram: TFT for Older Teens: Greece Island Hopping
10

This summer, I went Greece with Travel for Teens! The whole experience was top tier, from the cultural immersion, to the adventure, to the insane views. Visiting the Acropolis was unreal; standing with so much history is something I’ll never forget. We explored the Temple of Poseidon, which really made my head spin--there were ancient Greeks praying right where I was standing! The Ottoman fortress we explored was also insane, there was a battle there! We also took a boat tour around Paros, which was amazing, jumping off, swimming to isolated beaches and exploring random islands with your buddies. And of course, Santorini lived up to the hype. Scuba diving there was a highlight--my first time, and I was hooked. After a long school year, the mix of adventure and downtime was perfect. The beaches were beautiful and the perfect spot to just relax. The group was great, everyone was chill and wanted to have a great time. We all ended up laughing over the gelato runs every night. Overall, it was the perfect balance of learning, exploring, and taking in out of this world views. If you’re looking for an experience to MAKE your summer, this is the one for you

A Guide to Adventure Travel in Greece

Locations

Greece is a lovely blend of coastal beaches, inland wonders, and mountainous activities jam packed into one country. Whether you decide to adventure in Greece within the highly touristy city of Athens or take a break from the city lights and traffic by island hopping, you’ll have the chance to unleash your adventurous side through all kinds of activities in Greece.

Naturally, if the city of Athens was named after a Greek god, it has to be pretty cool, and “cool” is just an understatement. The origins of Athens date back to 3,000 B.C., making it one of the oldest cities in the world. Yet, some of the oldest ruins are still standing and open to the public. For those who want to flash thousands of years back in time, checking out the Acropolis of Athens or the Parthenon is the way to go, by helicopter of course! Get the thrill of being over a thousand feet up into the air, while getting a 360 degree panoramic view of this ancient city.

For those who aren’t as interested in ancient times and would rather take the more adventurous road, you can spend the day exploring, snorkeling, or boating in Rhode, Greece. Get lost in a sea of flying colors in the Valley of Butterflies, then show off your bravery and fence with the knights within the Medieval City. With all of its medieval history and castle-like architecture, Rhodes is an island straight out of a storybook; you don’t even have to watch a Disney movie to experience this fairytale magic!

Santorini is known as one of the best destinations for island hopping, sailing, and nom’ing on taramasalata while enjoying the vibrant sunset. Amoudi Bay is one of Santorini’s not so hidden treasures, and is perfect for those who want to enjoy a day of sailing and sunset cruising. You could also embark on an adventurous trek from Fira to Oia for the best views of the sun rising or setting. Home to many cliffs (to cliff-jump off of, of course!), black sand beaches, windmills, and blue domes, it is no wonder that many describe the island as Greece’s “postcard island.”
