With more than 400 unspoilt islands and a mainland combining sandy beaches, stunning scenery and a wealth of ancient history, Greece is the perfect destination for a true Mediterranean vacation. Athens was the home and center of the world empire of Greece, and is still the capital of the country today. If you are looking for a lively city rich in culture and history, there are few places better to visit than Athens.

Crete is the largest island in Greece and the most southern point of Greece. The landscape of Crete is a combination of snow-capped mountains contrasting with lush, flower-filled plains; unspoilt fishing villages sit side by side with the graceful Venetian towns of Chania and Rethimno.

Santorini is a magnificent mixture of dramatic cliffside villages, glorious black sand beaches and ancient treasures. Steep cliffs plunging into a crystalline sea distinguish the west coast, while the east coast is gentler, featuring a fertile plain and delicate bays, with the Profitis Ilias mountains in the background.

Mykonos is one of the most well known Greek Islands, and it truly lives up to the images of white-washed houses, sandy beaches and the famous windmills. The nightlife on Mykonos is supposedly the best in the Aegean.

The Peloponnese region in the southernmost part of mainland Greece, is rich in archaeological sites including Mistra, Mycenae Olympia and Tiryns.
