Not just for summer: 6 reasons to head to Greece in winter

Greece is so closely linked to summer vacations that it rarely features in winter escape plans.

That's a shame, because while it rules the Mediterranean in the heat of July and August, it's also got some pretty cool moves in the dead of December.

Falling temperatures sprinkle new magic on stone-built villages lost in deep forests and medieval castles built into that beautiful Greek coastline.

Throw vibrant cities into the mix, along with buzzing ski resorts -- yes, ski resorts -- and a whole new perspective of the country opens up.

Here are six classy places to consider for a Greek winter getaway.

Travel article, so it plugs certain hotels, but food for thought along with some nice piccies.

High occupancy rates at winter resorts this Christmas

Hotel occupancy rates at the country’s main winter resorts during this holiday period are between 80 and 100 percent, as it seems lower fuel prices have offset concerns about the country’s political woes.
