About Greece
From the ancient, sun-scorched ruins of Athens, a five thousand year old city, re-inventing itself as one of Europe's cultural capitals, to the white-washed chapels and crumbling monasteries that pierce the blue skies while the Aegean laps at powder white sandy beaches along the endless coastlines of the Greek Islands. Local culture, famed cuisine, ancient mythical history and a vast array of nightly entertainment and action packed adventure await the intrepid traveller that sets foot upon its magical shores.
