Greece

Located at the southernmost tip of Europe, Greece has one of the most unique geographic formations of any country in Europe.

Greece is washed on three sides by seas: by the Ionian Sea to the west, the Aegean Sea to the east and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. To the north lie Albania, former Yugoslavia and Bulgaria. To the northeast is Turkey. Greece is at the crossroads of three continents, providing is a stepping-stone to Asia and Africa. Some four-fifths of Greece's land territory is mountainous. Its coastline, with its many gulfs and inlets, is one of the longest of any country in Europe.

Greece has long been credited as being the birthplace of the Western World, with democracy, culture, philosophy, medicine and art to name but a few contributing to this. Greek myths and legends are known throughout the world, as are many of the famous Greeks of past years, such as Homer, Plato and Socrates.

Think of Greece and one automatically has visions of stunning landscapes, archaeological sites, golden sandy beaches, deep blue seas, blue skies, hot summer sun, fun, relaxation, entertainment . . . the list is goes on.

Greece and her islands offer you holidays that you will never forget, and the chance to step back in time and visit this historical and naturally beautiful country.
