It might be the wealth of family friendly 5 star hotels in Greece or maybe the warm weather and the fabulous scenery that makes Greece such a popular holiday destination at any time of the year.
The neighbouring party islands of Los, Zante and Mykonos would certainly have got the thumbs up from the Greek God of parties, wine and drunkenness, Dionysus. Party animals descend on the islands’ small amount of bars in their thousands, party hard and then crash out in one of the many hotels in the locality.
The home of Zeus and the other Olympian Gods, Mount Olympus is visited by thousands of tourists each year who attempt to climb to the mountain’s highest peak of Mytikas.At 9,570ft high, only the fit and the brave make it to the top, something Zeus would have never had a problem with. There are a number of tour operators that tackle the mountain over a number of days, but for those who want to see the mountain without having to go trekking, there are many shorter routes around the base.
The water god Poseidon fell in love with a nymph, Korkyra, and lived with her on the island of the north west coast of Greece which subsequently became Corfu, named in honour of the nymph. Poseidon would have been pleased to see all the water sport facilities available on the island with opportunities to go kite surfing, jet boating, wake boarding, water skiing and banana boat riding. After you’ve hired a boat to explore the scenic coastline of the island, treat yourself to a stay at one of the 5 star hotels in Corfu, such as the Kontokali Bay Hotel, which towers above the island’s largest yacht marina.
There are paragliding facilities on the island which would have appealed to Apollo, the Greek God of the sun, although Hestia, the Goddess of home and family would have appreciated the time spent at one of the all-inclusive, family friendly resorts which provides facilities fit for any god.
