Christmas means holidays with family or friends; it means escapes to beautiful winter destinations that combine cold mountain weather with the warmth of a lit fireplace and a handmade homely meal around a large wooden table.
If this holiday season you want to “escape” to one of our country’s traditional holiday destinations, while having a comfortable home just for you and your friends alone, choosing a comfortable or luxurious Airbnb seems like the ideal choice to enjoy trips to ski resorts or the beautiful nature that surrounds some of Greece’s most famous destinations.
From Arachova – a short distance from Athens – to the far-flung Zagorohoria, these 5 Airbnbs offer seclusion, rusticity and warmth – everything you need to get into the holiday spirit.
