Greece is one of the most fascinating countries in Europe: being the cradle of European culture with Ancient Greek civilization, it has a heritage which is nothing short of astonishing. If you’re a lover of ruins and of things that smell ancient, if you like temples and statues, and would like to have a better idea of where ideas like democracy, the republic, philosophy and fine arts come from, Greece is the place to go.
But Greece is also a paradise for fun-loving, easy-going beach types. All of its islands, in the summer, have beaches of incredible beauty, and offer everything from wild fun and interesting company to isolated paradises which can be reached only on foot or by boat. Food and wine are also great in Greece, so if you decide to go there, it’s definitely an experience you won’t forget.
