There was once thousands of windmills located here, but now just a few have survived making them stand out more and look even more picturesque.

Said to be one of the oldest distilleries in the world, its a place of color and of course booze.

Thessaloniki Train Cemetery, Thessaloniki

Not the most exciting place to visit, but seeing thousands of rusting trains and carriages all in one place makes for a fantastic holiday snap with a difference.

Volcanic Rocks of Lemnos, Lemnos

I’m no geologist, but I do like a weird shaped rock if I come across it.

Dikteon Cave, Psichro

It is said that Zeus himself once hid inside this cave. I would have thought he would have chosen somewhere a little grander.

Davelis Cave on Pendeli Mountain, Penteli

Strangely, despite it being one of the most amazing places in Greece, it is also one of the least visited mostly thanks to its location and superstitions that surround it

Valley of the Butterflies, Rhodes

It’s not something that a camera can capture, but what you are looking at is tens of thousands of butterflies that come to this place to next each and every year.

Antikythera Mechanism, Athens

If you want to see the unusual, the Antikythera mechanism is as weird as it gets. Known as one of the world’s most advanced technological artefact, it asks a million more questions than it has answers for.

Meteora, Kalabaka

Meteora is home to what I can only presume to be the world’s most inaccessible Orthodox church. There are no tour guides here, but you can get close.

Tourlitis Lighthouse, Andros

Built in 1897, it was once flat on the island, but erosion has since made it look like a pillar with a lighthouse on top.
