Greece It's no wonder the Gods chose Greece and her Isles as their playground. Perched between the crystal blue Aegean and sparkling Mediterranean, Greece offers both richness in history and the peaceful luxury of a seaside paradise. With her filled tavernas, whitewashed houses and colorful balconies contrasting the royal blue sea, Greece boasts a legacy that's unrivalled.
Athens, old world invites visitors to explore its many treasures. From the quaint streets of the Plaka, to the Acropolis, which can be seen on its perch high above the city from every point or visitors will be in awe of the breathtaking beauty and flare that the city has to offer.
For a real taste of Greek culture, travelers can escape to some of the small towns in the country. Greek mythology and literature buffs might recognize Thiva and Delphi as significant landmarks. Or sports fanatics can admire Olympia, on the Peloponnesian Peninsula, the origin of the Olympic games. The one common thread between all the regions is the delicious Mediterranean-style cuisine. Visitors must try some fresh Feta and olives, Souvlaki and, of course, Baklava for dessert.
