Pilot Guides: Destination Greece

As seen on TV and formally known as Lonely Planet the Pilot Guides are undoubtedly champions of the travel world.

Greece, cradle of the Western Civilisation, is often considered as the last country of the West and the first of the East.

Traveller Christina Chang visits Mainland Greece, its cosmopolitan and culturally rich capital Athens, and the Peloponnesian peninsula; while Megan McCormick heads for the beautiful Greek Islands, scattered around the blue waters of the Ionian and the Aegean Seas.

Along the way

  • Visit the awe inspiring Acropolis overlooking Athens
  • Witness the ancient fire walking festival of Sires in Northern Greece.
  • Visit the most southern tip of mainland Greece, thought by the Greeks to shelter the entrance to Hades
  • Catch the ferry Hydra for the celebrations of the Miaoulia Festival
  • Visit the holy isle of Patmos, the party island of Mykonos, the ancient island of Delos, and the volcanic island of Santorini
  • Trek through the spectacular Samaria Gorge in Crete
