Greece is the cradle of Europe — and you feel it at every turn. Between ancient temples that have throned on rocky cliffs for millennia, a sea stretches out in a blue you will not find on any other postcard. Every island has its own character: Santorini with its caldera views, Crete with its wild ravine landscape, the Ionian Islands with their lush greenery. Greek hospitality is not a cliché — it is a way of life.
