In winter, Greece rests from the tourist flow. And on the islands one gets the feeling that life has stopped. Some local residents specifically move to mainland Greece in order not to feel the difficulties of low season. Many hotels and restaurants are closed before the tourist season, bus and ferry services operate on a reduced schedule.
But if you have signed a winter vacation, then, going rest in Greece, should draw up a program of visits attractions and museums. Agree that many hours excursion to the Acropolis or to the monasteries of Meteora in the summer when temperature + 40C is not the most pleasant thing. In addition, you can safely take a walk through the old streets of Athens and drink a cup of fragrant Greek coffee in one of the taverns. By the way, Christmas in Greece they celebrate the same way as in Russia – December 24 and 7 January (old and new style, respectively).

In April, the “holiday of Greece” from the tourist flow. The first campers begin to appear on Greek soil. AT this time it is already possible to open the beach season – water in the sea although it is cool, it is quite suitable for swimming.
