Welcome to Greece!
Greece has been, for the past forty years, one of the most attractive destinations for tourists all over the world. This hasn’t changed and until today despite the changes in social life and economy, Greece is still among the top listed destinations.
The most appealing motive for visiting Greece is the enormous cultural heritage that Greece has, combined with its natural beauties. The Greek landscape, unique globally, with the picturesque settlements of the islands, surrounded by beautiful beaches and the Mediterranean sun, is the reason why millions of visitors choose Greece for their vacation.
History will always be in season, therefore visiting Greece and getting to know from first hand the culture and civilization which gave the spark to the rest of the western world, will always be a “must”.
Over the years Greece has changed. Being a member of the European union, Greece had to transform and become a modern state following the commands of the 21st century. But these changes have not changed the character of the Greek country, the character of the Greek islands. These have managed to keep their simplicity in architecture and everyday life. The unique landscape, the “easy going” rhythm of life, and the Greek hospitality and simplicity, are still some of the basic elements that make Greece a magical place for vacation.
Greece doesn’t lack in luxury and accommodations, as some of the most luxurious hotels and restaurants operate five star facilities in many Greek islands, always in harmony with the nature and architecture of the islands.
It does not matter if the visitors are of the cosmopolitan type or the “easy going” one, young seekers or family men, Greece covers all types of visitors and all kinds of budgets. Over a thousand islands and many resorts in the continental land, can satisfy even the most demanding visitors.
Rhodes, Santorini, Corfu and Myconos are only a small sample of the many alternatives for visitors who wish for cosmopolitan vacation.
Koufonissi, Anafi, Astypalaia, Tilos and Sikinos are some of the alternatives for the seekers of relaxation or for the ones who love coming close to nature and loosing track of time.
The continental land of Greece maybe is less famous, but it is also worth visiting. About sixty to seventy per cent of the monuments and historic sites of Greece, lay across the continental land. Rich in flora and sandy beaches, combined with high mountains and traditional settlements, continental Greece is an amazing landscape waiting to be discovered.
Peloponnesus, is one of them. Located at the southern continental Greece, with the famous remains of the Mycenae, one of the first civilizations on the Greek land. Beautiful beaches across the whole coastline of Peloponnesus and organized campings and hotels, compose a place perfect for a tour by car or by motorcycle.
Macedonia on northern Greece, is another option. A landscape different than every other in Greece, with lakes and rivers across its country, with mount Olympus, the residence of the gods, and Halkidiki the greatest resort of northern Greece, with golden sandy beaches and crystal waters.
Greece is well known for its history and its islands. A varied landscape with rock, or sandy beaches and picturesque villages dominating the islands. Rich flora and great mountain sites just above the sea composing the continental land. Extremely rich in archaeological sites, ancient ruins, museums and cultural activities.
Greece is definitely the place to be!
