The 15 most beautiful and unique nature destinations in Greece

The 15 most "beautiful" and unique nature destinations in Greece

In no particular order, for no particular reason, I subjectively chose to list some places of awe-inspiring beauty and natural history value. I begun this when I was waiting at some far-off airport somewhere, thinking of Greece. I'm not ashamed to say, even though I've travelled far and wide in this country it is difficult to objectively select the best parts. I make an attempt here for ecotourists, since I have always been an ecotourist....

The Greece of Yesterday is really no-more. To find this please go to Albania or Anatolia. Greece is a modern country with many modern amenities, lots of recent sprawl, a good measure of near East ugliness and interesting problems. Greece's unique geopolitcal position brings in the Balkans, Europe, the Med and the Middle East. A rich cultural and natural assemblage is the result.

Now I'm posting this rather unfinished post, just for fun, just for my ecotourist friends abroad. I feel they should visit as soon as the Covid scare subsides....

These are the 15 most "beautiful" nature-filled destinations in Greece...

Back to Sri Lanka!

 

Back to Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka could continue on its road to becoming a unique wildlife ecotourism destination. The framework is there and good efforts are being made on the ground. Tourists who visit should contribute as best they can to wildlife, habitat and landscape preservation and restoration. Serious ecotourists should get in touch with the locals and promote and support conservation. 

I post some more photos from our last trip to the island in January 2019. These are just random shots that did not make it in our original post. Please see the post here:Zogaris & Vlami Sri Lanka 2019

Wish you, and us all, the ability to be able to travel again in 2021!
