Greek Islands Holidays
Located in the southeastern tip of Europe, Greece is a peninsula surrounded by the Aegean and Ionian Seas. The country is an awe-inspiring mix of mountainous terrain, forest land, and glorious beaches. At Viking Yacht Cruises, we explore Greece and her islands all year long with thousands of guests from around the world. To take advantage of the best deals, one of the best times to travel to Greece is during November. At this time of year, all the crowds from summer are gone, there are lots of off-season discounts to be had, and the air quality is better in Athens. Thanksgiving or other seasonal holidays around this time would be well-spent here. Cultural events for Greek locals also really flourish around the late fall/early winter season in Greece, so there is much to see. For example, Thessaloniki's Dimitria Festival runs through early November. This festival boasts a large selection of events from musicals to shadow theater and other cultural offerings. Combine a yachting adventure with a land excursion with us and you'll get the best of both of these worlds! The Athens Marathon also takes place in early November. Following the ancient Olympic route, this race is open to visitors who wish to participate from all around the world. Around this time of year as well, churches celebrate their patron saints with large festivals and celebrations. In addition, there are food offerings, markets, fairs, and plenty more for visitors to enjoy on a fall trip to Greece.
