Discover Why Greece Is the Go-To Spot for an Unforgettable Pesach 2026
Greece, with its rich history, sun-drenched islands, and sparkling blue seas, has become one of the most sought-after destinations for Passover programs. It’s the perfect place to combine relaxation, adventure, and Jewish tradition — whether you’re exploring ancient ruins, enjoying a luxurious resort, or simply soaking up the Mediterranean sun.
Athens is always a classic starting point — a city where ancient history and modern culture meet. From the Acropolis to charming neighborhoods filled with cafés and shops, it’s a great choice for travelers who want to mix sightseeing with their Pesach experience.
In Santorini, whitewashed houses tumble down cliffs overlooking the Aegean, creating one of the most breathtaking backdrops imaginable for a Passover vacation. It’s ideal for couples or anyone who wants to experience luxury, beauty, and tranquility.
Rhodes brings history to life in its cobblestone streets and medieval architecture. It’s perfect for those who love exploring cultural sites while enjoying a relaxed, resort-style holiday by the sea.
On Crete, Greece’s largest island, dramatic mountains meet sandy beaches. Many Passover programs here cater to families, offering activities, kids’ clubs, and gourmet kosher dining. Add a visit to the island’s Minoan ruins, and you’ve got the ideal mix of relaxation and discovery.
Paralia, on the Olympus Riviera, offers a completely different atmosphere — golden beaches, mountain views, and a peaceful coastal vibe. It’s a wonderful spot for those who want to unwind surrounded by nature while still enjoying a full Passover program.
Nearby Nafplio, in the Peloponnese, is one of Greece’s most picturesque towns. With its Venetian harbor, neoclassical mansions, and seaside promenades, it’s a charming destination for a Pesach that blends history, culture, and coastal elegance.
And if you’re looking for somewhere off the beaten path, Lefkada continues to impress with its turquoise waters and serene atmosphere — perfect for a quiet and rejuvenating holiday.
Our Passover programs in Greece cater to every kind of traveler — from luxury five-star resorts to family-friendly hotels with day camps, entertainment, and daily minyanim. Whether you’re dreaming of a beachfront retreat or a cultural adventure, Greece promises a Pesach filled with beauty, comfort, and unforgettable memories.
