Greece offers a myriad of experiences, landscapes and activities and is an amazing holiday destination.
In Greece there are a great number of lakes and wetlands and many sights to behold. It is a paradise for tourists who are interested in art, culture and literature. It is known both for its picturesque scenery and its history. The cities of Mycenae and Corinth are very nice places to have a walk.
Greece has the tenth longest coastline in the world, and is covered with beautiful mountains and hills. Many travellers come here specifically to explore Greece's ancient wonders, from Athens' Parthenon and Delphi's Temple of Apollo, to the ruins of the Minóan city of Knossós on Crete.
The islands in Greece are very important and renowned as Mykonos, Crete and Rhodes. Santorini is a quite impressive island, its capital Thira is the edge of its large cliff, due a volcanic eruption thousands of years ago.
Sports enthusiasts will relish the Greek islands for their endless opportunities for scuba diving and sailing (there's no better way to explore the islands than aboard a chartered yacht), while keen hikers and mountain bikers can test their stamina in the rugged mountains of the country's largest island, Crete.
