When to go en Grèce continentale ?
Throughout the year, there are festivals and cultural and sporting events all over Greece. The calendar is also punctuated by Greek Orthodox festivals. Some are fixed dates, such as Christmas (December 25), the Dormition of the Mother of God (August 15) and the feasts of saints. But the most important is Easter. It falls on a moving date that changes every year (April 20, 2025, April 12, 2026, May 2, 2027...) and is almost always different from that of Catholic Easter.

Ideas for holidays and week-end breaks en Grèce continentale
Greece is one of those countries: one of those countries from which one returns, thinking that one will inevitably return. Indeed, it is impossible to say that we "made" Greece, as each territory is so different. Its fans know that Greece is not limited to the Cyclades and its little white houses. Apart from the islands - which are also very pleasant - mainland Greece offers many other facets: archaeological sites and monuments classified by Unesco, but also landscapes of breathtaking wilderness. Still unknown to tourists, regions such as Thrace or Macedonia have managed to remain authentic and full of surprises. And if one feels truly in the East in the West, the Venetians remember us in Epirus like the Franks in the Peloponnese. Here, sea and mountains live in perfect harmony, so what a pleasure it is to combine the exercise of hiking with the pleasure of swimming!
