Autumn landscapes in Greece reminiscent of a painting

It is said that if you travel to the Greek countryside in November, you will realize that the colors of nature could impress you in many ways. Golden-yellow trees, fallen leaves and running water in a unique harmony will make you forget all your problems and the intensity of everyday life.

What makes Greece truly unique is that autumn is full of contrasts, depending on which region you visit. Mountains, plains and islands are the main pieces of the puzzle that make up these amazing landscapes.

It is said to be the most beautiful sea cave in Greece and is 160 meters long and 40 meters deep. For these reasons, it is also called the cave of the Nymphs.

The sacred rocks of Meteora are one of the most famous tourist destinations in Greece, and visitors are amazed when they see it. The fog, the yellow trees and the wild beauty of the rocks form a unique scenery. It is called the second Mount Athos because it has a 6 centuries-long history of monasteries. 

Lake Doxa

It is one of the most beautiful lakes in Greece, it is artificially created and was created in 1990 by a construction in the torrent Doxa. The landscapes around the lake are truly reminiscent of an alpine backdrop that is not easily found anywhere else. There you can see free horses living and running through the trees, which gives the visitors a feeling of peace and serenity.
