Greece Travel Guide

Greece is a country that in ancient times influenced large parts of Europe with colonies, trade and large scale constructions. They can still be seen in many places in various countries but nowhere better than in the homeland's cities and provinces.

The capital of Athens is an impressive city where historical sights are overwhelming in numbers. The unique Acropolis stands tall on top of the city on one of Athens top spots to visit. Between the hills you will find nice areas like the old Plaka and the modern area around Omonia and Syntagma squares.

The Greek provincial cities with Thessaloniki and Iraklion at the forefront also offer many metropolitan experiences, and everywhere in the country there is never far to a Greek tavern with delicious Greek Mediterranean food on the menu. And with memorable local sights.

Greece is also a paradise of lovely islands. Among the best-known are Crete with the Samaria Gorge and the Minoan Knossos and the smaller islands in the Cyclades group, which among other things offers iconic views of Santorini. Corfu in the Adriatic Sea is another well-visited island worth enjoying.
