When we think of summer, we often think of the Greek islands and beaches. But there are other ways to enjoy the season, such as the mountain. The mountain is a great place to spend your holidays, unwind, and get away from it all. And you can still swim in the mountain, as there are many hidden spots that will surprise you. Those who choose the mountain for their summer holidays usually come back again and again, and they have many reasons to do so…
The 3 amazing reasons for summer holidays in the mountains
1. Dew and rest
The mountain is a great choice for summer holidays because it gives you a refreshing breeze even when Greece is facing a heat wave. You can relax under a plane tree or stroll in a lush setting that cools down the air if you are in a mountain village, like those in Thessaly, Epirus, or Peloponnese, full of unique routes in Greece. You might even need a blanket at night instead of air conditioning if you go to a very high-altitude place. Good sleep also helps you recharge your energy. That’s why people who spend their holidays in the mountain usually come back very rejuvenated.
2. Different Dives
You don’t need the sea to have fun in the water when you are in mountainous areas and villages. You can have a different kind of dive in the rivers. For example, have you ever explored the… beaches of Aoos in Epirus and felt its refreshing water when the temperature is high? There are many rivers in Greece where you can swim or just dip your toes. Clear flowing waters and a unique experience. Like The waters of the Greek river that is mentioned in one of the most famous works of world literature or the natural springs of Greece with their amazing beauty. Besides swimming in nature, you can also choose a place to stay with a pool and dive with a view of the mountain. What could be better?
3. Mountain holidays and alternative activities
Many people enjoy water sports, but they are not the only way to have fun in the summer. The mountain has a lot of different and amazing activities that you can try. They are not only for adults but also for children who will love nature and adventure. You can raft on the rivers, hike on the trails, or ride horses in the woods. The mountain has so many things to offer you that you will never get bored. You can spend a weekend in mountainous Nafpaktia, where you will find many things to do and see, or you can swim in the rivers that have clear and cool water! Sometimes we forget how beautiful the mountain is in the summer.
