Greece is well known for its sporting heritage as it is the birth place of the Olympics, but there is also a winter scene here. Escape the clear blue waters and soft sand and head to the mountains if you want to enjoy some winter fun during your next cheap holidays in Greece. Accommodating all levels from beginners to advanced skiers, Greece offers a good variety of skiing slopes.
While many of Greece's ski resorts challenge beginners and intermediates, the powder snow, excellent ski schools and 3,860m long run of Mount Vasilitsa make it a popular destination for beginners and families alike. Similarly, Metsovo with its three popular ski centres also offers a wealth of gentler slopes, ski schools and rental shops.
Almost as high as they are attractive, the skiing resorts of Mount Parnassos offer downhill thrills galore. Offering snow coverage from December to March, the ski season at the popular resorts of Kelaria and Fterolaka means there is plenty of time to enjoy your next Greece holiday here.
Parnassos is home to one of the best-organized ski centres in the country, as well as boasting the biggest downhill ski resort in Greece. Visit Styga on Mount Helmos for some truly challenging black and red runs however. It is home to some special mogul ski runs and is the second largest ski resort in Greece.
It is no surprise that snowboarders also flock to Vasilitsa, with its array of natural ramps, challenging terrains and even a half-pipe. The first ever jump contest was even organized here. If you're interested in snowboarding, there is no better place to enjoy your cheap holidays in Greece, whether you want to slalom through the beech trees or master your air tricks. A spot of snow rafting is also great for adrenaline junkies and friends can either use a 12-seater or two-person raft.
