Greece Activity Holidays

When it comes to choosing destinations for activity holidays, Greece is a real Neilson mainstay and is home to a number of our Beach Clubs.

Vounaki Beach Club can be found nestled next to the glistening Ionian Sea. If you’re interested in a sailing activity holiday, this is the place for you.

The southern peninsula of the Peloponnese is home to some of the finest and least developed beaches in the country. And this is where you will find our neighbouring Messini and Buca Beach Clubs. The latter is great for adults as it is for guests aged 15 years and above. Our most recent addition is the wonderful Levante Beach Beach Club on the sunshine island of Rhodes. 

Cycling and mountain biking activity holidays to Greece 

Cyclists of all levels will fall in love with views that come with a road cycling or mountain biking holiday to Greece. You can whizz along smooth roads or climb up steeper routes through pine forests and along the coastline. There are four levels of ride available, covering all abilities.

Fitness and yoga activity holidays to Greece 

Fancy an all-out fitness and yoga getaway? Think bootcamps, Zumba classes, and group running trips that make the most of top-notch facilities. Air-conditioned gyms anyone! All our instructors are qualified professionals, so you can pick their brains while you're at it.

The hidden coves, sheltered bays and boutique-style hotel at Buca were made for couples’ holidays. And the Beach Club offers a wide selection of activities for couples, whether you try them together or individually.

Head out on a cycle ride to explore the great outdoors, join a guided ride, or get competitive on one of our tennis courts. Group coaching is included during your stay, so you’ll be able to up your game and improve your fitness.

Kayaking as a couple is a brilliant way to explore the coastline. Head out just after breakfast to enjoy the calmest seas. For days when you want to unwind, the day beds in our glass-sided swimming pool ready and waiting. The sleepy, surrounding area adds to the laid-back vibe, with rural villages peppering the slopes of the Taygetus Mountains.

History buffs and culture vultures will be inspired by a holiday in Greece. This is a country with a rich and storied history.

Venture out and you’ll be rewarded with picture-postcard views of olive groves and white, domed churches, pinpointed against the indigo sky and sea. But Greece's landscape holds many secrets. A day's exploring could see you discovering mythical sites, ruins and ancient temples from some of the oldest civilisations in Europe. It's well worth taking a break from all the adventure for a day of culture during your holiday to Greece.

London is approximately 2 hours behind Greece. Greece uses Eastern European Time (EET) in the winter months, and Eastern European Summer Time (EEST) in the summer.

If you're travelling in October, keep in mind that they also observe daylight savings time.

What does this mean for your travel plans while on holiday in Greece? When you're travelling to our resort destinations, it's important to remember that you'll be losing a couple of hours along the way.

Like the rest of the European Union, the current currency in Greece is the Euro. The Euro replaced the local currency, the Drachma, in 2002.

To make the most of your money, we recommend paying with a credit card wherever possible. Even better? Neilson’s resorts run on a tab system, so any non-inclusive items are added to your bill which you're welcome to settle at any time during your holiday.

If you're eating out during your holiday to Greece, visiting little tavernas, shopping locally or taking part in excursions, it would be handy to have cash with you for tips and those places that only accept cash.
