Greece conjures up images of ancient sites, sparse islands and warm seas. Athens used to be a smoky affair before the clean up work for the 2004 Olympics- now the clear skies allow for fine views of the surrounding hills. Take a hike to the Acropolis for a fine view of the surrounding area before stopping off in one of the restaurants for some delicious Greek salads and breads. Catch the ferry to one of the hundreds of islands for your trip to paradise.
The Dodecanese, Cyclades, Ionian, Sporades, Crete, Saronic Gulf and Sporades island groups all have their own special features. Enjoy the sights around the Dodecanese, the fantastic beaches in the Cyclades (Naxos has some of the best in Greece, Mykonos is a party island and Santorini has breath-taking views) and the very popular islands of Crete, Rhodes and Corfu. Watching the sunset from Oia (Santorini) is something visitors should not miss. Take time to enjoy the quiet white sandy beaches of Naxos; take a tour of the islands for a view of local life. Enjoy traditional food like tzatziki, fried cheese, delicious fish, meatballs and the local retsina. Warm sunny mornings, stunning scenery, friendly locals and excellent food will just make you want to stay forever!
