Islands

Greece is a popular destination, with a network of picturesque islands and one of the longest coastlines in the world, spanning almost 16,000km. The shores are world-renowned for their crystal-clear waters and pristine beaches. The country includes 6,000 islands and islets scattered across the Greek Seas. Only 227 of these islands are inhabited, all sharing a diverse landscape and beauty. The countryside embraces nature, with mountains, forests, rivers, lagoons, caves, and volcanoes to explore at your leisure.

Cusine

Greek cuisine is rated as some of the best in the world, with great quality, fresh ingredients and fruit and vegetables plentiful. Robust moussaka and refreshing tzatziki, olive oil, feta cheese and sweet baklava dessert are amongst some of the traditional Greek favourites – all paired with wine or ouzo for the most memorable meals. Influenced by both Eastern and Western cultures, seafood, fish and lamb dishes are inspired by the changes in season and typography.

Culture

From ancient times Greece was the birthplace of Western culture, introducing literature, poetry, drama, comedy and music to the ‘new world’. Today Greece is home to a multi-faceted culture, with philosophy, theatre and orchestral music forming the backbone of its classic past. There are a myriad of archaeological sites and museums celebrating architecture and the different civilisations, as well as modern and folk art that showcase this country’s rich heritage and evolution. While the historical centre is on the Acropolis in Athens, the remains of ancient Greek culture can be seen throughout the area

In the cool of the evenings there is the option to enjoy a leisurely drink overlooking the sea, or visit the charming tavernas, bistros and inviting cafes filled with music and dancing. Throughout the year concerts and festivals take place and the main holiday period revolves around Easter, filled with traditional festivities.
