4N Athens
Greece located in southeastern Europe with thousands of islands throughout the Aegean and Ionian seas has been influential in ancient times. It’s often called the cradle of Western civilization.
As one of the most popular holiday destinations of the world, Greece has built up its reputation with its stunning beauty and fascinating culture. A culture that has spanned centuries and is a captivating blend of history and mythology. Athens, its capital, retains landmarks including the 5th-century B.C. Acropolis citadel with the Parthenon temple. Ancient wonders of architecture like the Parthenon and Delphi have withstood the ravages of time to tell their stories to the world. The white-washed houses of Santorini set against the deep blue waters of the Aegean is a soul-stirring sight. Navigating the maze of tiny streets and whitewashed step lanes of Mykonos is an adventure in itself. The spectacular medieval ruins of Mystras offer you a peek into the Byzantine way of life back in the 14th and 15th centuries.
The Samaria Gorge will take you back hundreds of years as you trek the 16-lm-long canyon. The path, lined with ancient Cypresses and Pines, passes between vertical cliffs through the mountains. You must not miss the soaring rock pillars of Meteora and its collection of six monasteries built atop the pillars.
The other things you cannot miss in Greece are its beaches. The very soul of a quintessential Greek holiday, these beaches come alive with parties and water sports during the peak season. Let’s take a headlong dive and explore the hidden depths of Greece Tourism.
