WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO?
Canada is a huge country, Canada is over 76 times larger than Greece (9,984,670 sq km vs 131,940 sq km).
It takes days and days to drive across it and there is a million different things to do.

I love all the beautiful nature and camping.
Start by looking at the National Parks:

There is Toronto, Montreal, Quebec City, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Halifax, Victoria, etc.,etc. for major cities.

West Edmonton Mall

The provinces and territories are:
Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Saskatchewan, Yukon

Alberta's grandeur and beauty are obvious from the moment of arrival. Rolling foothills, intimidating mountains and prehistoric hoodoos are a few of Alberta's more distinct natural landmarks. Most impressive are Alberta's Rocky Mountains, which facilitate the world famous resort towns of Banff, Jasper, Canmore, Kananaskis, Lake Louise and Waterton. Dinosaur hunters flock to Drumheller, home of the acclaimed Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology, where the desert topography yields countless fossils and prehistoric discoveries. Alberta's rural heritage can be further explored with a visit to the vast farmlands of Alberta's Heartland, Southern Alberta and Northern Alberta. Calgary, home of the globally recognized Calgary Stampede, is best known for its warm hospitality, oil and gas industry and close proximity to the Rockies. Edmonton, the provincial capital, is often synonymous with its largest attractionâ€”West Edmonton Mall. North America's largest shopping and entertainment complex offers over 800 stores and services and over 110 dining establishments, the epitome of one-stop shopping.
Shouldering the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Canadian Rockies to the east, British Columbia is perhaps Canada's most diverse province. Enjoy skiing the legendary Rocky Mountains, hiking the majestic wilderness of the Kootenays, touring the world-class vineyards of the Okanagan and sailing among the temperate water surrounding Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. B.C. is also home to several fascinating cities; Vancouver and Victoria in particular offer excellent cultural and sightseeing opportunities. Central and Northern B.C. are known for their excellent hunting and fishing opportunities and offer a glimpse into the aboriginal and rural cultures of Canada. The Sunshine Coast and Fraser Valley each boast spectacular scenery and small-community hospitality while still being in close proximity of the lower mainland metropolis. British Columbia will gain international focus when the 2010 Winter Olympics are hosted by Vancouver and Whistler.
One of Canada's most populated provinces, Ontario is a prime tourist destination. Ottawa is the nation's capital and features Parliament Hill among a wealth of cultural activities. A major Canadian centre, Toronto is home to arts venues, the Stock Market Place, multicultural neighbourhoods and the CN Tower, the world's tallest land-based freestanding structure. The breathtaking Niagara Falls and the theatre festival town of Niagara-on-the-Lake should not be missed by visitors to the area. The cities of Windsor, London, Stratford and Kitchener in Southwestern Ontario offer an abundance of activities, from the cultural Stratford Festival to Kitchener's renowned Oktoberfest. Northwestern Ontario offers many attractions, both in cities such as Thunder Bay and in nature reserves such as Quetico Provincial Park. The pristine waters and forests of Northeastern Ontario surround the popular get-away destinations of Muskoka and Parry Sound. For lovers of the outdoors, Algonquin Park offers a wide variety of camping, hiking, canoeing and other wilderness adventures.
History comes alive in Atlantic Canada, an enchanting cluster of provinces that are known for their rugged coastline and distinct maritime culture. Located on the far eastern shore of Canada, Atlantic Canada offers four distinct tourist destinations. New Brunswick is a land of small, friendly communities, and offers visitors many diverse cultural activities, including festivals, museums and galleries. Across the Bay of Fundy is Nova Scotia, a province filled with idyllic fishing villages, as well as Atlantic Canada's largest metropolitan area, Halifax. Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Island in particular is known for its amazing natural beauty and captivating historical and cultural roots. Visitors can venture to Prince Edward Island via the Confederation Bridge and tour the many attractions and festivals that pay homage to the much-beloved Anne of Green Gables novels. While in Newfoundland and Labrador, take a whale-watching expedition, visit extraordinary bays or get to know the friendly locals in one of the many small villages.
QuÃ©bec is a province steeped in tradition and history. It is a former French colony that has managed to retain, and build upon, its strong links to French history, lifestyle and culture. Shopfronts and street signs inform passersbys in French first and English second, giving the province a European flair uncommon to the rest of North America. Quebec Cityâ€”or Ville de QuÃ©becâ€”is the capital and remains the only North American city still fortified by its original city walls. Visitors to the city can't miss the Chateau Frontenac, a historic hotel that dominates the city's skyline. MontrÃ©al is Canada's second largest city and plays host to an assortment of international events and festivals. The city is also world-renowned for its nightlife and literary scene. QuÃ©bec has much to offer visitors besides its two largest cities. Both the Laurentian Mountains and the Saguenay Region offer a variety of adventuresâ€”especially for winter sports. Or visit the spectacular GaspÃ© Peninsula in the South St. Lawrence area and enjoy fresh maple tapped directly from local tress.

The Rocky Mountains are awsome. A drive from Calgary to the Ice fields Parkway takes you up the best view of the mountains, canyons, rivers, lakes. It is amazing. I have done it twice, once from Calgary going up to Jasper, then from Vancouver to Jasper down to Banff. Loads to do even if you are not a big hiker. Most trails are easy to stroll along, but there are more difficult ones if you want them. Wildlife is a must see - deer just walking down the road. Seen black bears along the way too. Calgary is worth spending a couple of days seeing. The Sawridge Hotel in Jasper is very nice.

Vancouver is also a great place.Lots to do and see areound the city including Stanley Park area. The trip to Vancouver Island is a good one. You can go whale watching and the ferry journey is good over to the island.

I have had fun visiting Canada:
Montreal - A little more European, we stayed at a B&B here. It was fun just walking the streets of this city.

Toronto - More American style big city, but they do have lots of green space within the city. I enjoyed my time here, we stayed at a B&B here, too.
