Greece Surfing Travels

Fly into Athens and pick up a car and head to the Mediterranean Sea. Drive through some historic pastoral scenes to the hills surrounding the sea and you will be greeted with a sparkling glassy sea adjoining some lush greeh hilly coastline. Just keep going until you find a sheltered bay and any rideable waves. The waves may be sliding along some cliff face wedging up and starting to peel all the way to the shore break. You can surf the Ionian Sea, the Aegean as well. The climate is mild and wet in the winter and hot and dry in the summer.
