Greece is one of the most unique and alluring country in Europe. It has its own traditions, its own atmosphere, even its own alphabet. Also, the impact of ancient Greece on the Western world can never be overstated. The notion of democracy, the image of the Earth as round, the scientific method itself - all these and more where born in the writings of ancient Greece. Modern Greece remains steeped in history and reminders of its importance and antiquity are wide spread.
But the country has far more to offer than history. Its Mediterranean climate, beautiful beaches, wonderful food and friendly inhabitants mean that Greece is one of the most loved holiday destinations in Europe.
