2. Visit an unspoiled island or village
Although Greece is a highly touristic country, it has to offer some places that remain untouched from the crowds. Islands, like Anafi, Fourni Ikarias, Tilos, Lipsi or Chalki, and mountainous villages, like Sfakia Chania, Aspraggeloi Zagorochoria or Portaria Pilion, can show you the authentic Greek hospitality combined with the true natural beauty.
3. Swim in the deep blue sea
The beaches of Greece are unique, but the most amazing thing is that you can find crystal, turquoise waters even in Athens.

5. Watch the sunset from a Cycladic Town
There is nothing more romantic than catching the sun sinking into the sea with your other half while its pink reflection makes the whitewashed houses of the town on an island of Cyclades a breathtaking scenery. Santorini is of course the most famous spot, but other islands, like Folegandros or Tinos, are impressive too.
