World-famous for the remnants and ruins of ancient civilizations, stunning scenery and crystal clear waters, a dependable mild and sunny climate, and warm and friendly Greek hospitality, it's no wonder that the spectacular country of Greece and its many islands are wildly popular travel destinations for students of antiquities, sun worshippers, and for all those looking for an enjoyable and relaxing vacation.
If you ever stand (
and you should) next to the Parthenon (
built in 450 BC) high atop the Acropolis in Athens, we guarantee that you will find it to be an inspiring experience that almost defies description. Right there in front of you in all directions is the beautiful and modern non-stop city of Athens, and at the same time, on that very spot, are some of the greatest buildings ever constructed, and they're still standing.
The
Greek Isles are an integral part of the country's tourism industry and all are served by a reliable first-rate ferry system. These islands were the birthplace of many ancient civilizations, and with almost 1,500 islands to visit, there's an endless variety of things to see and do. You'll find many unspoiled beaches, coastal caves and mountains to explore, sailing, scuba diving, water skiing and wind surfing venues, and of course, archaeological sites at every turn.
