The truth is that in Greece, holiday places are not absolutely summer or absolutely winter, and you can realize this by traveling to any corner of the country in all seasons. And yes, the sunset of Santorini is famous in summer, but think about the charm it can offer you in winter as well. We definitely enjoy some famous sights or areas in summer, but it's worth seeing them in photos from a different perspective as well.
They can give us a feeling or impression that is quite different from the usual one. Greece is the land of contrasts and this definitely means that it is worth traveling to the same area all year round. You will see something different and it will move you. See how some famous Greek summer places are in winter.
Chania
If you are in the old port of Chania in summer, you will definitely be able to take many photos with the picturesque buildings and the sea as a background. You can do the same in winter, but... watch out for the sea water, which is definitely more aggressive. The wind and the rain often create scenes like from a movie. The winter photos of the old port of Chania are charming and give you a different image of this famous summer place in Greece.
Mykonos (Little Venice)
This is one of the most photographed places in Mykonos. Little Venice has all the elements that make it charming in summer and exciting in winter. And in summer, you might want to dive in the sea with a view of the windmills, but in winter, the situation is more mysterious. And while we have seen dozens of photos of Mykonos in summer (and especially Little Venice), they do not often show this scene in winter. Either way, it's a dream!
Zakynthos
If we make a list of the top five most photographed summer scenes in Greece, the Zakynthos shipwreck will definitely be on it. We have seen it up close, from above, panoramic... But always in summer. And yet, it's often winter that makes this Greek place even more impressive. A famous Greek summer attraction, proving that Greece is the land of every season. For each has something different to offer. Equally exciting.
Santorini
It is said that there is nothing more idyllic in summer than enjoying the sunset in Oia. And it is not for nothing that it is one of the most famous in the world. But winter has its own power on this island of lovers. When the dark clouds thicken, the sea becomes restless and the wind picks up, the sunset can become entangled in the gray and create a unique spectacle. In winter on Santorini, the tones drop and the color of the houses may seem duller. But it's just as idyllic and beautiful.
