Few countries are blessed with as many ingredients for creating the ideal holiday as Greece. From its rich culture to a wonderful cuisine and the most stunning islands, there are so many reasons to make the country your next destination.
Many tourists focus on the islands, with due cause, but that means missing the more cultural side of the country from Delphi to Corinth and Olympus – not to mention the capital Athens and its majestic Acropolis dominating the city.
But it is to the islands that most head, ensured of endless, summer sun and, the most beautiful beaches adjoining emerald waters.
Nor should you miss out on the cuisine, rich with olive oil, it is one of the healthiest on the planet, with Greek salad the perfect lunch time treat.
And if all that is insufficient to tempt you, then immerse yourself in a rich cultural heritage with tales of old from Homer and the Greek tragedians, of gods and goddesses and man’s worship of them.
