It is no coincidence that everyone dreams of visiting Greece at some point and that Greeks prefer Greek destinations for summer holidays.

Impressive beaches and clear blue waters

First of all, Greece is famous for its beaches and clear blue waters. It is the country where you can find beaches with fine or coarse sand, with pebbles or gravel, with rocks or large stones. Huge beaches or small coves that embrace their guests and give them moments of relaxation and tranquility. It is no coincidence that its beaches have been awarded many times. Those of us who have seen them, after all, do not change them with anything.

It combines natural beauty with exceptional historical value

Another very important thing is the cultural monuments that you can see from one end of the country to the other. The rich and long history, the ancient Greek culture, the museums and the archeological sites are elements of a big and beautiful puzzle called Greece.

The Greek cuisine

Apart from moussaka, souvlaki and tzatziki, Greek cuisine can pride itself on the great variety of its dishes and its pure Mediterranean ingredients. Olive oil, feta cheese, vegetables, or handmade village pasta add a Greek flavor even to the kitchen. Not to mention the desserts, syrups, wine, or tsikoudia.

The unique, Greek light

The Greek sun is truly unique. Even in winter, it shines from the sky every morning to remind us that life is beautiful and to lift our spirits. Have you ever wondered what our lives would be like without the bright sun?

And of course, people...

In the traditional Greek villages and islands, where time seems to have stopped, the people exude authenticity and purity. Tradition is still alive and hospitality remains the highest human good. These wonderful people open their doors to travelers, cool them, feed them and generously offer their goods. The big cities or crowded places may have changed over the years, but most of the country still retains its most innocent and friendly face.
