We have deployed our AI engine Ingeenee throughout Greece. The result is Curious Greece. We created Curious Greece now as a gratitude for Greek weapons, humanitarian aid, and political support for Ukraine to help fight Rashism. You can jump right away to https://curiosio.com/country/?iso=gr to check it out. We recommend and appreciate your reading further to see and learn about trip planning in Greece.
The Cradle
“Greece is considered the cradle of Western civilization, being the birthplace of democracy, Western philosophy, Western literature, historiography, political science, major scientific and mathematical principles, theatre and the Olympic Games. Greece has the longest coastline on the Mediterranean Basin, featuring thousands of islands.” — Wikipedia.
Maybe, Greece is going to become a cradle of the Curious Boat Trips in the future? — Curiosio
For now, Curiosio is helping you plan road trips. There are ferries between the majority of islands — you can move your car from island to island and enjoy driving the same car almost everywhere. Curiosio handles ferry time and cost. Some islands are not routable, accessible only by boat. Boat trips are on the road map for Curiosio. Boat trip functionality is not planned for tomorrow but it’s definitely scheduled for a mid-term, so stay tuned.
Our Knowledge Graph for Greece contains ~6,000 Points and ~30,000 Places. Among them ~500 islands, ~2,500 beaches, ~1,000 museums, 400+ natural parks, 300+ vista points, and thousands of small beautiful villages.
Greek Signature Trips
To test and validate the density of our Knowledge Graph we found several Greek road trips on the Web and ingested them into Curiosio. Good for us — we confirmed that almost all Points and Places are available in Curiosio. Good for you — you could take those trips as they are or augment them by any parameter. You could literally bend trip plans by duration, by budget, and remove or add points. Curiosio will create new trip plans for you with those new requirements, still with maximum overlap with the original trip.
You can learn how to Find a trip on the Web directly from Curiosio in our Supertrip story. It’s like googling. We indexed ~100,000 travel articles. Geeks could look under the hood at how we built it in Supertrip Technical. We are eating our own dog food by finding cool trips and super-tripping them.
Classic Greece
“One week? That’s almost a sacrilege in this country where siga, siga (slowly, slowly) is a well-meaning mantra to enjoy life at a reasonable pace. So, even though you have only a week to explore one of the richest, most intriguing places on earth, do slow down a bit when you can and appreciate everything that’s unfolding around you.” — Frommer’s.
We crawled points and places suggested for one week, threw them into Curiosio web form, set the new duration to twelve days, and got a much more comfortable trip plan inspired by the original vigorous one. This is an example of how you can take any trip you like and change its parameters to your requirements or desires. Curiosio will do the magic then.
Here is a longer loop from Athens. Instead of Delphi, it goes through Hydra, Naxos, Mykonos, Chania, and other classic points and places.
Central Greece
“Central Greece is punctuated with similar places, where a past rich in legends and myths provides context for the beauty and intrigue of the present. West from Athens, a drive in the marching path of warriors offers heart-quickening roadways, awe-inspiring temples, and an invitation to connect with the back-to-basics lifestyle of the long-ago Greeks.” — National Geographic.
Southern Greece
“An epic sun-baked road trip across Peloponnese. A wild and dreamy road trip across Southern Greece, with a dip into the Mani peninsula. From the east to the west of the Peloponnese in mountainous Southern Greece, via a deep drop into the Mani peninsula — the middle tentacle of the region — to where the Ionian Sea meets the Aegean. Classical and Venetian fragments, Byzantine and Turkish shapes, the genesis of European history.” — Condé Nast Traveler.
You could take the Southern Greece interactive trip plan and change it to your needs by clicking the red [Supertrip] button, then editing the web form with your requirements.
Northern Greece
“The trip into northern Greece was officially called the ‘Urban Centers of Northern Greece Campaign’, and the intent was to highlight the part of the country that is not based on tourism, but deserves to be visited. This is the real Greece, where people in cars stop in the street to talk with their friends walking along the side and no one gets upset. This is where everyone eats ‘Greek Family Style’, which means lots of food dishes shared by all. This is where wine is grown, and where buffalo roam.” — Matador Network.
Originally, it was a bike trip for 31 days. You could take the Northern Greece trip plan and modify the duration, travelers, budget, points, places, perimeter of interest, etc. to your liking.
Typically operating behind the scenes, Ingeenee remains invisible, diligently working to fulfill its astronomically complex tasks. If it were to become visible, it would resemble the enigmatic vantablack monolith from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Its size may vary, adhering to a ratio of 1:4:9. Ingeenee can be installed in any location, enabling the mining and propagation of travel intelligence since its setup.
