Over the past decades skiing has witnessed a spectacular rise in popularity among Greeks.  At present, 19 ski resorts operate on the mainland meeting modern standards, which lend themselves to the development of winter tourism and are particularly popular with both Greek and foreign visitors.  

Many of these ski resorts offer programmes for beginners and for intermediate-level skiers, so before setting out contact the resort and seek information.   Moreover, if you do not you’re your own skiing equipment, you can find stores selling winter sports gear in nearby urban areas. Alternatively, a number of these ski resorts offer you the possibility to rent part or all of the equipment required.
