A guide to places in Greece, written from two directions at once.
Our editorial team researches and writes the destination pages — attractions, mountains and gorges, rivers — with photographs, maps and 360° imagery. Alongside them sit posts from travellers: short accounts, photographs, and the kind of detail you only know if you have been there.
Both appear on the same page. A place gets described, and remembered, in one place.

Greek Destinations belongs to REM Design, the web design studio that also built the site. A small team looks after it, led by Marialena Mantzavinou.
The site first went online in early 2024. In September 2026 we rebuilt it completely and opened the new version to visitors. We have been improving it ever since.

Two groups, clearly separated so you always know which you are reading.
Greek Destinations — the destination pages and the guides and insights. Researched, written and kept up to date by our editorial team.
Travellers — everything marked From travellers. Written by visitors to the site, each post tied to the place it is about. You can add yours.

We choose the places ourselves. The well-known ones are here. We also keep adding places that fewer people know and that are worth a visit. We write mainly for readers who come from outside Greece.
Every page follows the same steps. We research the place again before we write. We describe what a visitor finds there. We leave out any claim we cannot support. We do not give prices or timetables, because they change, so we tell you to check them before you go.
If something on a page is wrong or out of date, tell us.

Everything is built around places.
Each place belongs to a geographic region, and content attaches to it:
Places and attractions — towns, villages, islands, archaeological sites, monuments
Mountains and gorges and Rivers — for walking, climbing and time spent outdoors
Guides and insights — longer editorial pieces on themes rather than single spots
From travellers — posts contributed by visitors, each connected to a place
Regions — the geographic divisions of Greece, if you would rather start from the map than from a name
Because travellers’ posts are connected to a place too, you will always see the place name on each one.

Use the search box in the header. Results come back in two groups: what we have written, and what travellers have written.
You do not have to type the name exactly — a few letters from the start are enough. And a traveller’s post will show up even when its title does not contain your search word, as long as it is connected to a matching place. The place name is shown on the card so you can see why it appeared.
If you would rather browse than search, start from the regions of Greece. You can also filter the places by what you want to find there, such as hiking, sandy beaches, castles or diving, and by region.

Most people arrive knowing two or three names — Santorini, Meteora, Crete — and very little about what lies next to them. Which islands are close enough to reach in an afternoon? Where do the mountains start? That is what the regions are for.
Greece is divided here into fourteen regions, and each one is shown on a map of the country so you can see, immediately, where it actually is. Open a region and you get everything we hold there: places and attractions, mountains and gorges, rivers, guides, and posts from travellers who have been.
It is the best place to begin when you have a week and a rough idea rather than a fixed destination. See the regions of Greece.

Yes — and that is the part of the site we care about most.
Go to Share your trip and choose how you want to do it:
Photos and a few words — a handful of pictures and a sentence about them – just a few minutes.
Write a full story — a proper account of a place, a walk, a day, a meal.
You do not have to decide in advance how good it will be. A single honest photograph of a village square, with a line about why you stopped there, is worth more here than a polished article about somewhere you have never been.
Your post is connected to the place it is about, so it appears on that place’s page — where the next person planning that trip will actually find it.

No. Start writing first.
You will be asked to create a free account when you are ready to publish, and what you have already written is kept for you through that step — nothing is lost. Creating the account takes about a minute.

It goes live straight away. There is no queue and no approval step — your post appears on the site the moment you publish it, and on the page of the place it is about.
Your post must still follow our terms of use. Our team may remove a post that does not.
From that point it behaves like any other content here: it turns up in search results, other members can comment on it, and it stays there for the next person planning that trip.

Specific beats comprehensive. The things that help other travellers most are usually small:
Where exactly you were, and when
Something you would not have known before going
Photographs you took yourself, even imperfect ones
The honest version — including what disappointed you
You do not need to be a writer. Write it the way you would tell a friend. If you want a sense of the range, read what others have posted.

Yes. Everything you publish stays yours. From your account page you can go back to any of your posts, change the text, swap the photographs, or remove it altogether.

Yes, once you have an account. Comments are how a post turns into a conversation — a question about parking, a correction about opening hours, a note that the path has changed since the photographs were taken.

No. Reading is free, registering is free, and posting is free.

We pay for it ourselves. We build Greek Destinations because we enjoy the work. Information about places in Greece is spread across many sources, and we want to bring it together in an organised way.
Some pages carry links to accommodation. These are affiliate links. If you book through one of them, we may receive a small commission, and you pay nothing extra.
In the future we may also carry advertising from travel agencies, hotels and regional tourism bodies. We will mark it clearly as advertising.

Through the Contact us page. If something on a place page is wrong or out of date, tell us — corrections from people who have just been somewhere are the fastest way this site gets better.
