 Tourist Information

Greece offers a wide range of experiences, landscapes and activities. It is famous for its natural beauty, historical sites and nightlife, and of course for its reliably sunny summers and the many beautiful beaches on its islands and coastline, which stretches along the Aegean, Ionian and Mediterranean Seas.

The most popular destinations include the capital, Athens, and the islands, especially Crete, Rhodes and Corfu. Some areas are very tourist orientated, but people seeking a quieter experience can still find places free from mass tourism.

In Athens see such classical ruins as the Parthenon and Acropolis. The Greek Isles beckon with Santorini and its violent volcanic history including the enormous volcanic eruption in 1450 BC, said to have destroyed legendary Atlantis.

The stark natural beauty and remnants of ancient civilizations have attracted visitors to Greece for centuries. Its pretty islands cast like precious stones across the Aegean Sea, together with the Greeks’ unsurpassed joie de vivre, combine to make Greece a truly unique destination with everlasting appeal.
