Greece is a country that feels like a captivating living museum bathing in sunshine and sea breezes.
Located in Southeast Europe, at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa, it has a mountainous mainland and over 6,000 islands scattered across the Aegean and Ionian Seas. It also has one of the longest shorelines in Europe (over 13,000 km of coastline).
It is often called the cradle of Western civilization, because it gave the world democracy, philosophy, theater, and the Olympic Games. Ancient city-states like Athens (present capital and largest city, home to iconic landmarks like the Acropolis and Parthenon) and Sparta shaped political and cultural ideas that still resonate today.
Greeks enjoy a Mediterranean climate—hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Perfect for tourists (beach lovers, island hoppers, Mediterranean cuisine or history enthusiasts)
