Though it is not something that many people automatically associate with Greece, there are actually quite a few different ski resorts located across the country. So, if you have found a vacation rental in Greece and are planning a winter getaway, you can quite readily combine pleasant weather and trips to the seaside (though don't expect the temperatures to ever get much higher than around 21 degrees Celsius at most in Greece in December or January) with snowy days hitting the slopes. If you have found a vacation rental in Thessaly, in particular, and are looking to enjoy some winter sports while holidaying in the area then we recommend a trip to the Pertouli Ski Centre.

Pertouli is a small mountain village and located just a short distance from the Pertouli Ski Centre, a ski resort that is famous among snow sports lovers in central Greece.

So, if you have found a vacation rental in Greece this winter, you might consider hitting the slopes!

Here are some of the best places to ski in Greece.     Read More
