About Greece
Why this place stays with you.
Greece is where Western civilisation was born, and where beauty feels eternal. Iconic whitewashed villages clinging to cliffs above the Aegean, ancient temples glowing gold in the afternoon light, and turquoise waters so clear you can count the pebbles below, Greece is both a history lesson and a dream.

Questions
Before you book Greece.
- Islands or mainland first?
- First-time visitors often do Athens, a classical site, then one island. Two islands need at least ten days so ferry days do not eat the trip.
