Greece by Destination Greece

When you think history, you think Greece. The nation is full of it, with a long lineage of exuberant people and events that will continue to make history books for generations to come. From the mind-blowing architecture to beaches constantly used as movie sets, it is a country that is, hands down, one of the most beautiful in the world.

The 1,400 islands all hold something remarkable to be discovered and a trip to the magical European country of Greece will leave a lasting impression years.

60-Second Geography Greece
Seeing the historical sites should be a priority on your trip, namely the beautiful Parthenon and Acropolis in Athens. Countless museums, ruins and monuments are scattered throughout the country, dating back over 6,000 years and ranging from many different ages.	The food of Greece is divine, pulling strongly on the flavors that olive oil, fish, meat and other spices provide. You are destined to find a new favorite dish while visiting, whether it is an authentic gyro or baklava, the most popular of deserts. The Greeks are awfully proud of their partying skills, and when the sun sets, you’ll be able to witness this first hand. Going out all night is commonplace, so don’t be surprised if you get caught up in the momentum. The beaches of Greece are what will truly tie your trip together. Quite possibly the nicest in Europe, if not the entire world, they neighbor volcanoes that dominate the horizon, enveloping the coasts in a picturesque setting. And with over 8,000 miles to explore, your time will be well spent trying to take them all in. Transportation in Greece will never be a problem, as it has been improved over the past few decades, and the usual spread of options – buses, planes, taxis, bicycles, trains, ships – are ready to take you wherever you want to go. When shopping for that perfect souvenir, be sure to check out some of the local artisans and their craftsmanship. Along with brand name clothing, some very unique treasures can be found.
