Greece
Greece is a cradle of ancient civilization, home to historic sites and sunny islands. In Athens, you can follow the paths of ancient philosophers, visit the Parthenon, and hear stories of old gods and heroes. The islands provide diverse experiences, from Santorini's landscapes to Mykonos' nightlife and Crete's traditions. Beyond these, the lesser-known islands like Naxos and Paros offer quieter escapes with equally rich histories and scenic beauty.
The Aegean and Ionian Seas are known for their clear waters, offering beaches, coves, and villages to discover. Greek cuisine features olive oil, feta, and seafood prominently. Visitors are often struck by the hospitality of the Greek people. Greece combines cultural depth and historical richness with natural beauty, including its contributions to arts, philosophy, and politics, adding to its global significance.
