Malaysian discovers a different side of Greece through road trip on the mainland

Driving down the highways of mainland Greece, one is almost sure to wonder why these parts of the country are not just as, or even more famous, than its archipelago of touristic islands in the south.

My first time in Greece was in 2018, and of course, being a rookie traveller at the time, some of the spots I decided to visit was the admittedly over-crowded-with-tourists island of Santorini. Don’t get me wrong, that island has a charm on its own, but I remember thinking to myself that someday, I’d come back to see Greece again, but this time to explore its mainland instead.
