ADVENTURE CAMPitelli's video: 9 Things To Do In Greece

Do you need some ideas on things to do in Greece? In this video we review 9 things to do with your family in Greece. We explored Athens and the island of Crete which had some amazing off the beaten path adventures. Our first activity that the entire family did was a Fish pedicure. Fish spas are everywhere in Greece as an alternative skincare treatment to exfoliate the feet. It was inexpensive and we all had a good laugh as it was weird to get used to. The second activity was visiting Minoan Palace which is close to Hereaklion. It was built in 1950BC and destroyed before 1300BC. It was cool to see a part of Greek history. Thirdly we visited the city of Rethymno which is a well preserved medieval town. We saw Fortezza Fortress built by the Ventians. This town has cool cafes and shops. There was a lot of delicious Greek food here too! One of our favorite activities was Psychro Cave which is the birthplace of the mythical god Zeus. It is located above the Lassithi plateau and you can take a donkey ride to the top of the climb. It is a large cave and the kids loved it. If you go to Crete make sure you visit the city of Chainia. This city has a touch of Florence and Venice combined making it very unique. At the harbour entrance there is a 16th century lighthouse with Venetian, Egyptian and Ottoman influences. If you love the beaches in Greece make sure you see Balos Lagoon. Located 56km northwest of Chania, Balos it is said to be the most photographed beach in Crete. It has turquoise waters with wild natural beauty. You can either get there by ferry from the town of Kissamos or drive up along a mountain with steep cliffs and then do a short hike down through a mars like landscape. Prince Charles and Princess Dianna visited by yacht many years ago. Another must see beach ranked high in our review is Elafonisi beach which is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. It is located on the southwest side of Crete about 75 km from the town of Chania. This beautiful beach has white sand with pink hues, and turquoise warm waters. A really great beach for families. If you’re looking for off the beaten path adventure check out Davelis Cave just outside Athens. This mysterious cave has been perplexing locals for years. Located atop mount penteli it has a notorious reputation with reports of paranormal activity. The cave marks the opening to a series of tunnels that run through the mountain and lead to a pool of water in the center if you’re brave enough to see. Numerous tales of strange or abnormal activity include electronics that stop working, water which flows the wrong way, mysterious disappearances of explorers who enter and never emerge again. At the entrance there is an 800 year old creepy church which is still used. We had to rank The Acropolis in Athens as our number one thing to do because it is epic! An ancient citadel on a rocky outcrop above Athens which contains the remains of several buildings of great architectural and historic significance. The most famous being the Parthenon which was built in 500 BC along with other main buildings. Below the acropolis is the theater of Herod Atticus built by the Romans in 161 AD and is still used today for classical concerts, ballet and performances of high cultural value. Make sure you go early as possible to avoid the crowds and be able to enjoy the location to its fullest. We hope you enjoy our 9 things to do in Greece!
