Shoulder Season (n.) a travel period between peak and off-peak seasons.

Also known as our favorite time to travel to some of the most sought after destinations in the world. Over the years we’ve saved thousands on flights, accommodations and adventures by traveling in the shoulder season.

The ALCAN highway: The roadway connecting Alaska and Canada, is how a majority of travelers that do not have access to a car in Alaska get there and how we did too! Starting in Dawson Creek, BC and ending in Delta Junction, AK this 1,387 mile journey is one to remember, and the focus of this post.

Whether you go over Thanksgiving or some other time, we really think Athens is a great offseason travel destination. Although you may not desire to follow it up with Greek Islands certain seasons, the rich history and culture along with the amazing food are best enjoyed with less heat and fewer crowds.
