Greece is more than island-hopping. The Peloponnese has olive groves and quiet beaches, and the Zagori mountains in the north have stone villages and one of the deepest gorges in the world. Both are calm places for a wellness trip.

Where in Greece is best for a wellness trip?

Quick answer

It depends on sea or mountains. For beach yoga and long walks, the Peloponnese coast (Messinia). For hiking and fresh mountain air, Zagori in Epirus. For caldera views, Santorini, best outside July and August.

Is Greek food easy if you eat gluten-free, dairy-free and egg-free?

Often, with care. Grilled fish, vegetables, legumes, olive oil and salads are staples. Watch for feta and yogurt (dairy), filo pastry (gluten), and avgolemono sauce (egg). See our GF, DF and egg-free travel guide.
