Layers of white buildings set against blue skies and accents of pink flowers: it’s a typical picture of Greece.
Beyond the quaint towns and idyllic island scenes, though, there are many layers to Greece. No two islands are the same and discovering each one’s quirks and surprises isn’t a bad way to pass a week, a month or more.
The more time you spend in Greece, the more you’ll want to explore. Arrive here with an open mind and don’t limit yourself to one destination or a single trip.
WHY VISIT GREECE:
Greece is home to some of the best historical sites in the world, but its modern culture is just an intriguing.
Greece is an irresistible blend of history, culture and weather. Its hilly landscapes are just calling to be explored, as are its many picturesque towns and villages.
Greek food may be some of the best in the world, too. While you’re there, make sure you add a Greek salad, gyros, souvlaki, tzatziki and moussaka to your must-eat list, and start every day with a freddo cappuccino – an icy local favourite with plenty of froth.
While you can fit in a surprising amount on a single trip to the Greek Islands, it simply won’t be enough. Part of the fun of travelling Greece is getting to know each island’s unique personality, and the quirks and traits of every village within it.
