Re:

Greece is the most beautifull country I have ever visited...My advice is to visit Greece and enjoy in traveling.

[Travelini]

I absolutely love Greece! I think it is one of my favourite countries in Europe.

Athens was OK, but I really loved my time on some of the Islands - Santorini, Corfu, Mykonos and Ios.

I thought Greece was affordable (well, for the most part), the beaches great and the people lovely.

And you can't go wrong with authentic Greek food!

I visited Greece last year, it is a nice country with many places of interest. Each city, town, place keeps its history. I was impressed with Acropolis of Athens Acropolis of Athens Ity is really something. It is worth visiting!

Greece (and the Greek Islands) is a country with a particularly rich and ancient history.
Excavations show that the first settlement is dating from the Palaeolithic era (11.000-3000 BC). During the second millennium BC, Greece gave birth to the great civilisations of the Minoan (2600-1500 BC), the Mycenaean (1500-1150 BC) and the Cycladic civilisation on the greek islands of the Centre Aegean.

The Classical Period of Greece History (6th -4th centuries BC) was the Golden Age and the most famous world wide; during this period lived the greatest philosophers and mathematicians.

Then, the history of Greece is a succession of various invasions and dominations: the Macedonians formed a strong Empire, followed by the Romans and the Byzantine Empire which ended with the invasion of the Turks. The Ottoman rule lasted for 400 years and was a dark period for the inhabitants of the ex-Byzantine Empire. Wanting to finally win their freedom, people of the Greece territory started to organise themselves and various revolts exploded against the Turkish oppressor.

The Independence War started from the Peloponnese in 1821 and ended on March 1831, with the establishment of the new and independent Greek State. A monarchy was established a few years after that by the Great Powers. Then Greeks elected Eleutherios Venizelos as their Prime Minister; but only a few years after, he was assassinated. A civilian war followed as well as the terrible German and Italian occupation and the dictatorship of Metaxas (1967), which ended in 1974. This very incomplete and summarized recapitulation of the Greek history gives a taste of its complexity and of the sufferings alienation of its population who often fought for its freedom.

[travelgeek]

is there any nice beaches in Greece ?

is it surf-able ?

[Ryan Smith]

A great afternoon trip from Athens, this is one of those spots that is as much a favorite with the locals as it is with the tourists. It's a favorite sunset-viewing spot for everyone, and will give you a classically Greek moment against the ruined monument along with a terrific sea view.

[Patric Raf]

Greece has seen a long and storied history that boasts thousands of years of civilizations who paved the road for those that came after them. For those who appreciate history and architectural ruins, Greece travel is ideal. Athens alone could satisfy the history buff for weeks.



For adventurers, there is excitement waiting at each and every Greece vacation spot. Ski the mountains of northern Greece and the Peloponnese peninsula, rock climb at Meteora, take a bike tour on the island of Crete. Hikers will experience a hike like no other on the volcanic island of Santorini. You can book a charter and sail the Aegean Sea from one island to another by yacht.
