Greece is an exceptional country in many ways; its history, people, coast and of course the climbing, all play a part. While everyone knows how beautiful the beaches of Greece are, some might be surprised to know that it is an incredibly mountainous country, there are a huge amount of peaks throughout Greece, many of which are over 2,000 meters. The dramatic landscape created by the contrast of a long impressive coastline and lots of big mountains makes Greece a stunningly beautiful place. Greek people are also incredibly friendly, we have travelled extensively in Europe for many years, and to say Greeks are some of the friendliest we’ve met on the continent would not be an exaggeration. We had been long overdue a trip to Greece, which for one reason or another didn’t work out until now, when we were lucky enough to spend over 11 weeks in Greece on a stunning road trip, taking in many of the country’s best crags and most beautiful locations.
