Best Journey Time
In spring, nature awakens with blooming landscapes, while fall offers a relaxed golfing experience with warm weather and fewer tourists. The summer months, especially July and August, can get very hot with temperatures above 30°C, making the game challenging during the midday hours. If you still want to play golf during this time, you should play early in the morning or late in the afternoon. In southern regions such as Crete or the Peloponnese, some courses are also playable in the winter months, although occasional rainfall can occur. Overall, Greece offers excellent conditions for golf enthusiasts almost all year round.
Special Destinations
Historical sites such as Olympia, Delphi and the Acropolis in Athens will delight culture lovers, while the imposing Meteora monasteries and the fortress of Methoni will leave an unforgettable impression. Nature lovers can enjoy hikes in the Samaria Gorge on Crete or relaxing hours on the beautiful beaches of Halkidiki and the Sithonia peninsula. Greece combines golf with culture, nature and relaxation - ideal for a varied trip.
Culinary Highlights
Greece delights with a varied and traditional cuisine that combines fresh, regional ingredients with Mediterranean flavors. Classics such as moussaka, souvlaki and fresh fish, which are served in tavernas and upscale restaurants, are particularly popular. Gourmets should try the famous mezedes - a selection of small starters such as tzatziki, feta, dolmades and Greek salad.
In the coastal regions and on the islands, grilled seafood and local specialties such as octopus in red wine sauce or calamari are particularly recommended. On Crete, hearty oven-baked lamb with mountain herbs is a must, while in northern Greece, hearty stews such as fasolada (bean soup) characterize the traditional cuisine.
A sweet dessert such as baklava, loukoumades (honey balls) or a glass of ouzo is a must at the end. In Greece, indulgence and hospitality merge to create a unique culinary experience.
Arrival & Infrastructure on Site
Greece is easily accessible thanks to numerous international airports, including Athens, Thessaloniki, Heraklion and Kalamata. Direct flights from many European cities make for a comfortable journey. Within the country, domestic flights, ferries and a well-developed road network offer flexible transportation.
Car rental is widely available and ideal for exploring remote golf courses and sights. Buses and trains connect major cities, although the rail network is limited. On the islands, ferries and catamarans are the best way to travel between popular vacation destinations. Greece thus offers a well-developed infrastructure that allows both individual travelers and groups to explore in comfort.
