Greece

Greece is far more than islands and beaches, with strong mountain walking in Crete, Olympus, the Pindus, and many island interiors, plus good spring and autumn conditions. A good fit for travelers who want long trails, village stays, and ridge days rather than classic high-alpine glacier travel.
