10 Hidden Gems Things to do in Central Greece That You Shouldn't Miss

February 6, 2022 Flossie Demartino

Continental Greece (Greek: Στερεά Ελλάδα, Stereá Elláda; formerly Χέρσος Ἑλλάς, Chérsos Ellás), colloquially known as Roúmeli (Ρούμελη), is a traditional geographic region of Greece. In English the area is usually called Central Greece, but the equivalent Greek term (Κεντρική Ελλάδα, Kentrikí Elláda) is more rarely used.

Monastery of Hosios Loukas

This is yet another site which I am amazed that you do not yet have a listing for!!!! It is a 10th c. Byzantine Monastery with the "remains" of "Holy Luke"., a great healer of the 10th c. which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and etc., etc. When you list it on your site, I will write a review of a visit here (which was astounding!!)

Beautiful, peaceful monastery. It's not as opulent as some of the monasteries in Meteora, but still worth visiting. Don't miss the little gift shop - they sell the best olive oil made using the olives from the monastery's own olive orchard.

MoKa Honey

Do you want to learn everything about this extraordinary insect that we call "bee"? Visit our site, book a visit and we 'll get you to one of our apiaries, dress you as a beekeeper and show you how the bee's life is like. (Book at our website Mar-Oct, only through appointment).

20 minutes from Delphi, on the edge of a HUGE valley of olive trees and wild thyme, there is a wonderful place called Moka Honey. The mission of the two amazing men that run this apiary is to educate and bring awareness to the importance of bees in our world. We learned so much more than we could have imagined! This was a highlight of our trip to Greece and I highly recommend this experience to ANYONE visiting the region. The only cost was 8 euro per adult, which buys you a jar of some of the most delicious, raw honey you will ever eat. You will want to take home as much of this wonderful honey as you can! Please, do yourself a favor and put this on your list. What an unexpected and unforgettable experience. ❤️????

Recreational Park

Reviewed By ioakou

I couldn't imagine that there is such a place in Greece. "Well done" for the people-volunteers who designed and made this park. It has almost everything. You can walk, you can enjoy many different activities in nature, you can even play bowling and swim (in summer)! We spend tho hours walking and I'm not a trekking person at all. Hope to go again and explore the whole area soon.

Panta Vrechei Canyon

Reviewed By AndreasBrok - Chania Town, Greece

The canyon is a hidden jem. Be prepared to wet yourself on the river and walk for approximately 45 min till you get to its impressive point where water falls from all the edges of the canyon. The scenery is otherworldly and diving in the cold water under the falls is definitely a worth living experience. The river trek is easy, not tiring at all, does not require any experience or special equipment and it is also excellent for families (though I would recommend not too young children). The road to get there is kinda rough - you will need a proper 4x4 vehicle to get there. If you don't have such a vehicle, you can use a guide, such as Trekking Hellas, as we did and I highly recommend that.

Paragliding Fun

A tandem paragliding flight in the area of Delphi and around, it is a “must do” for those who are visiting the area and it will be the most unforgettable experience of your life! The scenery around Delphi, that combines huge rock faces, the Delphi’s ancient ruins, the city itself and the sea beside, is unique and allows you to enjoy one of the most spectacular views of the world. Flying with the many times championship and cup winner Yannis, who flies since 1994, will provide you the safety you need to enjoy the pleasure of free flight, without to worry about a thing, as the song says. Finally the existence of many different take offs in the area facing different directions, will help you to make your dream come true and to fly no matter what is the direction of the wind.
