Hotels in Central and Northern Greece, Greece

Central and Northern Greece stretch from the ancient ruins of Athens to the beaches of Halkidiki, with a Mediterranean climate of hot summers around 90°F (32°C) and mild winters near 50°F (10°C). You can explore the Acropolis and Delphi in the central region for classical history, then drive north to Thessaloniki for Byzantine churches and Mount Olympus for hiking the mythical home of the gods. In summer, swim in the Aegean Sea off Halkidiki's three peninsulas, while winter offers skiing on Mount Parnassus or exploring Meteora's monasteries without the crowds.
