Greece

Welcome to Greece

The country of Greece is located in southern Europe, comprising over 50,000 square miles of beach, mountain ranges, and hundreds of islands. An important part of the Mediterranean community, this nation is widely considered to be the birthplace of western civilization. Many present-day laws, literature, philosophy, scientific and medical research, and ingenuity can be traced back to Greece and the people who inhabited it. Greece features almost 8,500 miles of pristine Mediterranean coastline, with crystal clear water and breathtaking ocean views. The Greek culture is a melting pot, owing to the fact that the country is a crossroads between Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. Surrounding the mainland are 227 inhabited islands, many of which are popular travel destinations for locals and foreigners alike.

Greece is a nation of peace, and many will find it relaxing that locals are rarely in a hurry! The country is famous for its history, spanning thousands of years and hundreds of different empires. Greece has 18 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, more than any other nation. The Acropolis, an ancient meeting place in the nation’s capital of Athens is well known for its representation of Greek architecture, which has been imitated all over the world. With many places to see, and so many things to do, Greece is the destination for the intrepid traveler. In addition to the mainland attractions, many nations such as Turkey, Egypt, and Italy can be easily accessed by a short flight. Greece, as a crossroads to three continents, is an optimal launching point for those seeking adventure in the Old World.

Visitors from many nations come to Greece to take in the stunning views, including the mountains that make up the inner part of the country, such as the famous Mount Olympus. The island of Santorini, in the Aegean Sea, is known for its teal-blue water, white sand beaches, and gorgeous city views. Aside from the spectacular sights, Santorini is well known as a leisure town. Red Beach, near Akrotiri, is a red sand beach perfect for soaking up sun in the blue water. It is popular to take a “cruise” around the island on a private catamaran, complete with Greek barbeque and the best snorkeling in the country. Any trip to Santorini would be incomplete without a day in the natural hot springs, lying in comfort while the sun sets over the Aegean Sea. Greece is an amazing place to call home.
