The doors to our favourite destinations around the world have been closed for what feels like a lifetime now, but this doesn’t mean we can’t travel – technically. While millions of us wanderlusts have been holding tight for brighter days and bluer skies, the one thing that has kept us all sane during lockdown is the art of technology.
Quizzes aside (I think you’ll agree we’ve all endured one too many of these in 2020), we’re talking virtual tours – that’s right, exploring the wonderful corners of the world from the comfort of your own sofa.
First stop, Greece. Whether you just missed out on your well-deserved beach escape earlier this year, or you’ve booked to visit a few of the spectacular islands in 2021, thanks to a bunch of forward-thinking websites – three of which we’ve listed below – you can whisk off to this sunshine escape whenever you see fit!
So sit back, relax, and grab the popcorn as we reveal our top picks for a virtual tour of Greece…
