The natural beauty of the country fascinates the sea, rocks, caves, nature reserves and national parks, unique species of animals and birds. A lot of tours and excursions to the most unusual places in the country. For the greatest historical dive, it is better to take an individual guide.
A convenient transport connection adds another plus to the karma of this country. To get from any European country and from Russia will not be a problem. And the cost of air tickets, as a rule, is not high. You can usually get to the islands only by ferry. That adds more interesting adventures to your vacation.

Choosing a holiday in Greece, most of the tourists choose the island. Pictures with blue and white landscapes of houses saw everything. This is a calling card of the country. Always recognizable architecture is so attractive that the tourist season does not stop almost all year round.
The famous Cyclades Islands are just an example of popular Greek architecture. Plus are the beaches with impeccable sand, blue sea, and beautiful locals.
Dodecanese is an island with a huge cultural heritage and rich natural resources. But they do not come here for the sea and nature, but for architecture and traditions.
The Ionian islands boast a magical climate. The best place for a carefree vacation in "all-inclusive" mode. It is possible to be engaged as an active rest, and it is simple to lie on a beach with ideal sea air and to read the book. And in the evening to participate in a rough life of the city.
Also excellent for the rest of the island: it is Samos, Ikaria, Lemnos, Chios, Metylini, as well as such small islands as Agios Evstratios, Fourni, the famous island of Inousses - the most peaceful and skillful corner of the country.
Sporadic Islands and Crete are the most populated and popular tourist destinations. Clean water, green landscapes and a lot of tourists.
Holidays in Greece - it's modern hotels with a full range of services, apartments, numerous shops, great food, and truly inflammatory Greek fun - until the middle of the night, or rather, until the morning, which is certainly a long time to remember - so that you want to experience it all again in real life.
In fact, all the islands, including the Halkidiki peninsula, are an ideal place for a family vacation in Greece. And many of the country's beaches are amazingly suitable for surfing and windsurfing.
It should be noted that the phrase "rest in Greece" means, above all, the coastline of Greece, whose length is 13.700 kilometers, and we are talking not only about the diversity of beaches - sandy (made of gold, white, gray and black sand, fine or coarse-grained), pebbly, rocky, isolated (wild) or exotic shores resembling the Hawaiian Islands, but even about deep-water and shallow shores, well warmed up by the sun and so suitable for a safe holiday in Greece, teenagers and kids, as well as the nature of the day - rocky or sandy.
Moreover, there are several beaches, many of which are well organized and well equipped, rather than just one. In addition, this year's holiday in Greece means 394 beaches awarded the Blue Flag for their cleanliness and crystallinity.
In addition to beach tourism, both inland and outlying tourists enjoy great success with campsites: up to 314 organized campsites are scattered throughout the country, operating under the banner of the Hellenic Tourist Organization (HTO), providing tent and trailer sites for visitors. There are small cottages and facilities that offer visitors a wide range of services.
Recently, cruise and wedding tourism has been steadily developing in Greece: for example, Skopelos Island is ranked 4th among the best wedding parties in the world.
Of course, the capital of Greece - Athens - is of great interest during the holidays in Greece. Few people know that Parthenon - the famous ancient temple of the Virgin, located on the Acropolis, was used for pagan rites for only 830 years, and then more than a thousand years served as a Christian temple.
In turn, if Athens is considered a city of antiquity, the northern capital of Greece - the city of Thessaloniki - is a monument of Byzantine culture, which has preserved the temples of the early Christian era (Basilica of Panagia Nerukotvornoy, St. Demetrius, as well as the Church of St. Sophia, built in honor of the Wisdom of God).
Near Thessaloniki, in the village of Soroti, there is the St. John the Theological Monastery, which has become the place of blessed death and the rest of St. Paisius Svyatogorets.
The enumeration can be endless. Abundance of holy places, Orthodox churches, monasteries, and monuments form an excellent basis for recreation in Greece and visits to the country, as in the great Orthodox holidays (Christmas and Easter), and in the days of celebration of various saints.
Sunny Greece is really developed all kinds of tourism: during the holidays in Greece is provided (seemingly even unlikely) the opportunity to ski, as well as a full range of extreme sports - such as trekking, rafting, rafting, mountain bike ... This is not only incomprehensible foreign words, but a real combination of risk, movement - in short, sports with the acquaintance with the most beautiful parts of the country. However, this requires adequate preparation, even if you are going to have a ride on buggies during your holidays in Greece.
