Greece

Greece is a land of ancient ruins, stunning islands, and breathtaking landscapes. From the historic streets of Athens to the whitewashed villages of Santorini, every destination tells a story. Walk among the ruins of Delphi, sail through the crystal-clear waters of the Ionian Sea, or hike the dramatic cliffs of Meteora.

In the islands, Mykonos offers vibrant nightlife, Crete boasts rugged mountains and pristine beaches, and Corfu blends Venetian charm with lush greenery. Mainland Greece is home to the monasteries of Meteora, the bustling city of Thessaloniki, and the Peloponnese’s historic ruins and coastal landscapes. Whether it’s relaxing in Zakynthos’ hidden coves or road-tripping through Nafplio and the ancient sites of the Peloponnese, Greece offers endless opportunities for adventure.
