ITINERARIES
While Greece has always attracted travelers, drawn by the fascination of some of Europe’s earliest civilization, the majority of today’s visitors are also drawn by Greece’s beaches and sunshine. Greece has more coastline than any other country in Europe. You can choose between rocky outcrops, pebbled coves or long swathes of golden sand. Greece has clung to its traditions more tenaciously than most European countries. Many traditions take the form of festivals, where Greeks express their love for life through dancing, singing and feasting. But don’t think for a moment that Greece is trapped in a time warp. In towns and cities you will find clubs as lively and cosmopolitan as any in Italy, France or Britain, and boutiques as trendy. Explore and you will discover that in addition to its outstanding beauty, Greece is one of Europe’s most relaxed and friendliest countries.
