Greece is uniquely special, with its ancient ruins, stunning landscapes and natural beauty, as well as its many (literally, thousands of) islands. It's the perfect blend of relaxing - thanks to a laidback coastal lifestyle and incredible island hopping boat trips - and history exploration, with sites that date back to the Neolithic and Bronze Age. And in between the beaching and important cultural sights, there's lively nightlife, some of the world's best food, and rugged mountains for scenic hiking trails.
Athens is a historic hub, with one of the world’s most recognisable landmarks dominating its cityscape – the Acropolis. This ancient sight attracts thousands of tourists every year, serving as a symbol of democracy, art, and civilisation.
Greece is revered for its many islands, some of the most notable being Kos, Rhodes, Santorini, Crete and Corfu. Take a boat tour around the islands and experience delicious seafood lunches, jumping into the clear blue sea, and snorkelling.
Known for being the home of the Greek gods, Mount Olympus is much more than just a mountain, as it has strong ties to Greek Mythology and culture. Not only that, it is a popular and somewhat challenging hiking spot, and is perfect for giving yourself 360° views of Greece’s beautiful scenery.
Anywhere you go in Greece, the food is going to be good, but Thessaloniki is a favourite. The city is a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, and was the first city in Greece to join the network. Join a cooking class to learn from the best.
