Travel Info

World-famous for the remnants and ruins of ancient civilizations, stunning scenery and crystal clear waters, a dependable mild and sunny climate, and of course, the warm and friendly Greek hospitality, it's no wonder then 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.
In Athens, and for that matter all around the country of Greece, you can literally reach out and touch great moments from the history of mankind.

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, countless sailing, scuba diving, water skiing and wind surfing venues, and of course, archaeological sites at every turn.
Greece is a comfortable, friendly country and here they welcome visitors with open arms. For travel tips, city and island details, major attractions and points-of-interest, follow the links below.
GENERAL ITEMS OF INTEREST
 Currency Greece uses the euro countrywide. Instead of traveling with your own country's currency and then paying the somewhat expensive cash conversion rates, we suggest - to get the best exchange rate - that you use an ATM for cash and credit cards for purchases.

Electricity Greece runs on 220 volts AC (50 cycles).
Note that most modern laptop, cell phone and digital camera chargers are dual voltage and will work perfectly in Greece with just a simple adapter plug. Find electrical adapters, products and tips here!
Times to Travel
Greece enjoys a mild climate making it a perfect year-round destination. Travelers agree that the best times to visit are from June through September as the weather is frequently perfect.
