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.

We were shown around by a local guide as part of our Greece tour. Although you'd be impressed by what you saw if you went by yourself I think we got more out of it with a guide - or maybe take a good guide book, there's so much to see and understand at this site. If you're feeling energetic there's a walk right up to the stadium at the top, it is worth it.

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.

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. ❤️????

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.

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.

A beautiful mountain offering scenic views of the surrounding olive groves and countryside.
The only word that can describe the view from on top the mountain side is breathtaking. The climb was a pull for me but I stopped at every platform to catch my breath and made it to the top. There is a stadium at the top that was used before the Olympic games was founded in Olympia. You get a sense of the amount of people in ancient times that walked where I was walking. The climb to the top is very much worth the effort.

A museum containing some of the sculptures and artifacts excavated from the Oracle.
From the famous charioteer to artifcatcs dating back to 1600 BC covering the Mycenaean period, classical and Hellenistic periods, this museum has priceless exhibits that rival those we saw in the National Archaeological Museum. If you are at Delphi, this is a must see … and you can walk through and see the exhibits in about an hour.

This ancient Greek temple is most famous for the oracle it contains, where pilgrims from all over the ancient world would come to have their fortunes told.
Ruins set on an ancient, winding hillside road that led through Delphi. Doric columns and the foundation are about all that remain -- but the evocative setting is what you come to historic Greece to see. Stunning views. And you're in the middle of a great collection of ancient ruins up and down the hillside (theater, stadium, temples). Superb.
