About Greece
Greece is the cradle of Western civilization, birthplace of democracy, philosophy and the Olympic Games. Here every stone breathes history: from the magnificent Acropolis to the ruins of Delphi, from the Palace of Knossos in Crete to medieval fortresses of Rhodes.
But Greece is not just history. It's over 6,000 islands (about 200 of which are inhabited), crystal-clear seas, picturesque bays and some of the world's best beaches. Santorini, Mykonos, Corfu, Crete — each island is unique.
Greek hospitality ("philoxenia") is not just a word, but a way of life. Enjoy moussaka, souvlaki, fresh seafood with a glass of local wine, and you'll understand why people want to return here again and again.

Travel Tips
1
Avoid visiting in July-August — very hot and crowded. Ideal time is May-June or September.
2
Use ferries for island hopping — it's convenient and scenic.
3
Dress code in temples and monasteries: covered shoulders and knees required.
4
Must try ouzo (anise drink) with meze — it's part of Greek culture.
5
Early morning is the best time to visit the Acropolis: fewer people and not as hot.
