Destination overview

A land of legends and ancient wonders.

Greece is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. With more than 60 inhabited islands, historic sites that span four millennia, idyllic beaches and towering mountain ranges, the country is amply blessed with attractions to explore.

A land of myths, legends, beautiful coasts and ancient remnants of its golden age and earlier civilisations, Greece is far more than holiday islands, ouzo and sculptures. Its mainland and islands shimmer in the summer sun and echo to the sound of traditional Greek music. Crammed with attractions and things to do, Greece still sees 90 per cent of its high season visitors from Europe, but is fast becoming a major destination for travellers from across the world.
