Discover Greece

Greece is a country of islands and antiquity: the Acropolis above Athens, thousands of islands scattered across the Aegean and Ionian seas, and a mainland of mountains, gorges and oracle sites. The season is long and hot — built for island-hopping, open-air festivals and late tavernas.

Each region has its own character: cosmopolitan Athens and its Riviera, food-and-festival Thessaloniki in the north, the volcanic drama of Santorini, and Crete — a near-continent of beaches, mountains and Minoan history. Ferries tie it all together.
