Greece Off The Beaten Path Tips by nickandchris

Excellent Picnic Spots

Greece is famous for it's magnificent views and often they build what we call "gazebos" looking over the views, with room to park.They make excellent picnic spots, out of the sun, with seating laid on. We have had many a fine feast in them.

Throughout Greece, you will also notice spring water taps where you can park and sit in the shade and either fill your water bottles or enjoy a cool drink. Many of these are beautifully maintained with elaborate stonework and seating.

Make sure you take your rubbish away with you. As so often is the case with beauty spots in Greece, they can be strewn with rubbish. It's so simple to leave nothing but footprints....

Eternal Optimists...

We came across this sign on a deserted beach in Pilion. We are still trying to work out all the facilities available, (not that there was much sign of any of them) and just had to take a photo!
