The trip to Greece, land of Homer, the gods, democracy, modern thought, and a cast of characters too numerous to list and many with names too difficult to pronounce. Greece is famous for its vivid lifestyle. It is also famous worldwide as the cradle of human civilization. All visitors may have an excellent stay and experience a lot of pleasant activities. Apart from getting to know the culture, the idyllic countryside, the Greek gastronomy, visitors should meet the tingling Greek lifestyle.
Greece today offers the traveller the comforts of modern Europe in close proximity to the stark beauty of the ancient world. There is no denying that the historical and cultural heritage of Greece continues to resonate throughout the modern Western world - in its literature, art, philosophy and politics. Reminders of the country's glory are all over Greece - from Athens' Parthenon and Delphi's Temple of Apollo, to the ruins on Crete of the Minóan city of Knossós, a civilisation reaching even further back into history.
When To Go Conditions are perfect between Easter and mid-June - beaches and
ancient sites are relatively uncrowded; public transport operates on close
to full schedules; and accommodation is cheaper and easier to find than in
the mid-June to end of August high season. Conditions are once more ideal
from the end of August until mid-October, as the season winds down. Winter
is pretty much a dead loss outside the major cities as most of the tourist
infrastructure goes into hibernation from the middle of October till the beginning
of April. This is slowly changing, however; on the most touristy islands,
a few restaurants, hotels and bars remain open year-round, while the ski resorts
on the mainland do thriving business.
