Greece is famous as a destination for summer vacations, but there are many little-known areas to visit if one chooses to take a trip in any season outside summer.

CNN Travel recently published its list of the “top Greek villages to visit” including island and mountain locations, some well-known and others perhaps not so well-known.

CNN’s list: Assos, Kefalonia; Chora, Folegandros; Oia, Santorini; Litochoro, Pieria; Lindos, Rhodes; Apiranthos, Naxos; Papingo, Pindos; Kalarites, Ioannina; Katastari, Zakynthos; Kastro, Sifnos; Archanes, Crete; Arnea, Halkidiki; Ano Syros, Cyclades; Pyrgi, Chios; Stemnitsa, Arcadia; and Agios Georgios Nilias, Pelion.
