Forget what you know - this ancient land will surprise you

From the moment you arrive, Greece captivates with its expansive skies, breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural legacy, and vibrant spirit. Renowned as the birthplace of democracy, the Olympic Games, and Western philosophy, Greece is deeply associated with ancient history, influential artistic achievements, pioneering political ideas, and remarkable architecture. The country is home to 18 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Acropolis, the medieval city of Rhodes, and the archaeological treasures of Delphi, Olympia, and Mycenae.

Matched with its stunning coastline dotted with islands, a varied marine life, and white sandy beaches, this country has a wealth of attractions, activities, and culture to enjoy. Its people are exuberant and laid back, with a friendly welcome for everyone. Greece will bring out the thoughtful philosopher and historian in you as you explore all it has to offer!

Athens will surprise you. It is a mixture of noisy, aromatic chaos and calm quiet, with small, familiar, welcoming neighborhoods and traffic-rich downtown avenues. Its thriving nightlife, cafes, and street markets are overlooked by the iconic Acropolis. You are reminded at every turn that this vibrant city holds a special place in history and in modern European life.
