Greece
GREECE. It’s the cradle of Western civilization. This is where the pantheon of ancient Greek Gods originated. This is where Alexander the Great hailed from. This is where the Olympic Games were born. This is where you can find the world famous monuments ‘Acropolis’, Temple of Apollo and other great monuments. This is also where UNESCO’s 17 World Heritage Sites are also located.
Now once you pack this famous ‘past’ into a suitcase, you’ll quickly become acquainted with the melancholic throb of rembetika (blues songs), thought-provoking modern art, a vivacious contemporary music scene, live music and impressively modern museums in the most unexpected places, all unleashing an imagination you might not have realized you had. Greece balances its past, present and future in a way managed by few other countries. The result is a country with endless cultural pursuits.
Greeks also pride themselves on their cuisine and as some of the most hospitable people on the globe, they will go out of their way to ensure you are well fed. Greece offers endless activities and is a magnet for anyone who enjoys the great outdoors. Wander along cobbled, Byzantine footpaths, hike into volcanoes, watch for dolphins and sea turtles and cycle through lush forests. Greece also offers some of the world’s top kite surfing, diving and rockclimbing locations.
