OFF THE BEATEN TRACK

Embrace your adventurous side and discover the lesser-known parts of Greece with Trekking Hellas’ outdoor holidays

Did you know that Greece is home to more than 1,400 islands, of which just 165 are inhabited? Or that 80% of its land consists of mountains, making it the third most mountainous country in Europe?

While Greece’s stunning sandy beaches and crystal-clear blue waters are a big attraction, there’s a lot more to this part of the world than that, as you’ll find out when you book a trip with Trekking Hellas. The country is rich in culture, dramatic landscapes and abundant nature, there’s plenty to explore, and it’s a must-see for fans of the outdoors who like to get active while on holiday.
