Greece, The Next Novelty Surf Destination?

Cutbacks in the cradle of democracy.

Looking for a surf trip with a little culture? Look no further! Greece might not be top-tier in terms of wave quality (and certainly not in terms of consistency), but every now and then the Mediterranean provides. With the rare, right timing, a Med’ fetch may brush past the Balkans; but, as you’re in Greece, you probably didn’t bring a board. Instead, just have some grilled lamb and wash it down with a chilled Satyr in the shadow of the Parthenon. You’ll still probably like the place. If can muster up the gear and get wet, you deserve a gold star. Or, at the very least, a pat on the back.
