Volunteering in Greece
With more ancient sites than any other country in Europe, nearly 2,000 islands, stunning cities, mountainous countryside, pristine beaches, Cordon Bleu cuisine and a unique cultural blend of east and west; Greece has enduring attractions for anyone volunteering abroad. Travelling through Greece not only takes you on a journey through remarkable landscapes but also on a journey through time; to stumble across stunning crumbling columns and churches, magnificent medieval mansions and castles, and beautiful Byzantine towns which are a maze of alleyways and archaeological museums.
For anyone wishing to get their heart racing, in the Mediterranean waters you can windsurf and surf in the warm seas until the sun sets. The mountains in Greece are a hikers dream where winding donkey tracks lead to stunning vistas, and which turn into a skiing paradise in the winter. With remarkably vibrant cities as well as remote islands that are only accessible by boat twice a week, Greece is a cultural and adventurous gem for anyone volunteering overseas.
