What to see, where to visit. A guide to Greece

 

Greece and The Greek Isles

The islands are the main characteristic of Greece's morphology and an integral part of the country's culture and tradition. Greek sovereign land includes 6,000 islands and islets scattered in the Aegean and Ionian Seas, of which only 227 islands are inhabited. This is a truly unique phenomenon for the European continent.

The Greek Archipelago takes up 7,500 km of the country's total 16,000 km coastline, offering a highly diversified landscape: beaches stretching over many kilometres, sheltered bays and coves, sandy beaches with sand-dunes, pebble beaches, coastal caves with steep rocks and dark coloured sand typical of volcanic soil and coastal wetlands.

Welcome to the home of the cultural holiday.

Greece today wears its 'birthplace of European civilization' tag pretty comfortably, and the walls of ancient ruins seem to whisper with tales from days gone by. From the Acropolis and the Parthenon in Athens to the home of the Olympic Games in Olympia and the Temple of Apollo in Delphi, Greece is a history holiday dream.
But Greece is no one-trick pony. Away from the ancient architecture there are spectacular landscapes in Santorini, buzzing nightlife in Thessaloniki, beautiful olive groves in Plakias and wineries in Halkidiki. All topped off with a healthy dose of sunshine-doused coastline.
And if you're after more lapping turquoise waters, the Greek islands lie just a short hop away. Only a collection of powerful, ancient Greek Gods could have conspired to make these 1,400 different island and islets into a jigsaw puzzle of such beauty and colour, warmth and fun.

Be it the chic cosmopolitan life of Mykonos, Rhodes' medieval castles, the 24-hour parties on Ios or the endless shimmering white beaches of Skiathos, there is an island and holiday in Greece that's perfect for you. You just have to decide whether to hole up in a luxury villa, or island-hop via the local ferries, loitering joyfully in the cheap and cheerful pensions or hostels. Then again, perhaps you prefer to hire a yacht and float your way through paradise.
The Greek Islands are an undoubted paradise: a geographic gift of sun, sand and water, superimposed with an ancient culture of fun, great food and friendliness. Yep, those Greek Gods were onto something alright.
