Greece is a land of contrasts; at once the birthplace of myth, legend, drama and hedonism, but also famous for its ancient history, for introducing democracy and for its vast contributions to philosophy, astronomy, literature and science.
As befits a land which is thousands of years old and sits at the juncture of Europe, Asia, and Africa, its culture is a true melting pot. Explore its past first hand at archaeological sites such as Knossos, Phaistos and Gortys on Crete, or in the Archaeological Museum of Athens, which houses some of Greece's most important ancient artefacts.
Take in the mix of old and new in the streets of cosmopolitan Athens, once home to Plato's Academy and the first Olympic Games, and still home to the Pantheon as well as being the centre of modern cultural, political and economic life in Greece. Or explore the islands, a particularly lovely one is Crete, where glorious beaches and modern resorts sit alongside traditional fishing villages and frescoed Minoan palaces. Relax with an Ouzo, trek among the many mountains and hills or take in amazing sights such as the Samaria Gorge.
Wherever you go and whatever you do, you won't have to travel far to find evidence of Greece's glorious past.
