Central Greece Steeped in history, central Greece is a land of contrasts. From the rugged mountains of the South Pindos to densely populated Attica, from the sleepy wetlands of the south-west to the verdant Pelion, Central Greece covers a wide range of varied landscapes. Three major attractions draw travellers to this ancient land- the oracle at Delphi, the amazing rock forest at Meteora and its monasteries, and the lush Pelion Peninsula with its traditional stone houses.
