Greece

Overview

Greece, a country with a distinguished historical past, considered by many to be the cradle of civilization, western philosophy and maths, known as the birthplace of democracy and the Olympic Games - among many other claims to fame. There's no escaping it, Greece has a unique pedigree.

Greece is the Balkan Peninsula's most southern country with around one fifth of its area comprised of Greece's 1400 plus islands, situated in the Ionian and Aegean Seas.

Athens, Greece's capital, is situated on Greece's southern coast.

For holidaymakers of all types, Greece has something to offer whether it's a sun-filled, laid-back beach holiday on one of Greece's many islands, or a holiday with a historical bent, visiting one of Greece's Ancient Greek or Roman archaeological sites.

Weather

In southern Greece and on Greece's islands, the climate is Mediterranean with dry and hot summers and wet, cool winters. Heat waves in Greece are common during July and August.

Rainfall is heaviest in Greece's north and in Greece's mountains, from between 50 to 121cms.

Athens, Greece's capital city, is known as one of Europe's sunniest cities. It has an average temperature of 17°C, reaching highs of mid-30s in summer to a low of 2°C in Greece's winter.

Main resorts & attractions

Spanning both mainland Europe, and Aegean and Ionian islands, Greece offers a glimpse of a older way of life still visible despite the intrusion of modern life into traditional Greek customs and culture.

Athens, a visit to Greece's historic and modern capital will satisfy any lover of ancient history. Must-not-miss sights are Greece's world-famous Acropolis and the Parthenon.

Further north, Thessaloniki is a vibrant Greek city with a Byzantine influence.

South of Corinth other wonders of Greece's ancient classical world are to be found.

For a beach holiday that include an element of Greece's historic past, escape to one of the islands - Halkidiki, Zante, Skiathos and Kefalonia - where beaches can be enjoyed alongside the architectural remains of Greece's past glory.

However, if you're after a Greece holiday with simply beach, sun and sand, look no further than the Greek islands of Corfu, Thassos, Crete with its famous palace at Knossos, Rhodes, Santorini, Samos or Kos.
