If you're planning a trip and want to see more than just the tourist hotspots, we’ve got you covered.

Here are 5 scenic drives in Greece that you’ll want to save (and maybe even drive more than once!):

1. Athens to Nafplio

Start in the capital and head southwest to the charming seaside town of Nafplio. Along the way, you'll pass through Corinth, offering incredible views of the Corinth Canal. It's a blend of history, ocean views, and that laid-back Greek vibe.

2. Meteora to Zagori

Meteora’s cliff-top monasteries are jaw-dropping, but the drive to the traditional villages of Zagori is equally stunning. Winding through mountain terrain and thick forests, this route feels like you’ve stepped into a different world.

3. Crete’s South Coast Drive

Explore one of Greece’s largest islands on this off-the-beaten-path route. You'll encounter remote beaches, rugged cliffs, and crystal-clear waters, perfect for those who love a mix of sea and serenity.

4. The Pelion Peninsula Loop

Drive through a mix of lush forests, coastal roads, and quaint villages like Tsagarada and Makrinitsa. This region offers Greece’s lesser-known beauty in full force, especially in spring or autumn.

5. Thessaloniki to Kavala

A foodie’s dream road trip. This coastal route delivers gorgeous sea views, local seafood spots, and the historical charm of Kavala. Make sure to stop at Lake Volvi on the way.
