Greece Holidays

Birthplace of democracy and philosophy and enshrined in mythological mystery, Greece conjures up images of crumbling ancient ruins, whitewashed island towns, picturesque coastal villages, and aquamarine seas. Alongside its historic charm and breathtaking scenery, Greece is known for its authentic hospitality and diverse cultures which visitors can experience throughout the country. From snow-capped mountains and rolling vineyards in the north to pastel-coloured harbours and picture-perfect beaches in the south, Greece offers something for everyone.

Greece’s capital Athens effortlessly combines ancient history with contemporary creativity. The city offers classical architecture, world-famous Greek landmarks, an innovative art scene and bustling food markets, and is also the gateway to both the Attica peninsula and islands - both ever popular Greek destinations. As the preeminent power of the ancient world, Greece is home to a significant number of archaeological sites that remain open to the modern-day visitor. From the magnificent UNESCO protected Acropolis and the Monasteries of Meteora in Kalambaka to the birthplace of the Olympics - Olympia, and the home of the oracle, Delphi, the Greek Islands also boast their fair share of antique landmarks.

Elsewhere, explore the rural and remote Peloponnese which is steeped in history, culture and Greek mythology. Boasting rugged mountains framed by dense forests, azure waters and pretty coast villages, the Peloponnese is one of the country’s most beautiful spots. One of Greece’s biggest draws however are the many islands scattered through the Aegean, Ionian and Mediterranean seas. From the spectacular sunsets overlooking the caldera in Santorini and the charming Venetian harbour towns of Crete to the ultimate Greek island hopping holiday, each island retains its own charm and character offering something for all tastes.
