Overview 

Greece

When one speaks of Greece, one first recalls its mythical sights such as Mount Olympia or the Acropolis. With an epic past difficult to ignore, a past which contributed to our present civilisation so significantly, a past which goes right back to the Palaeolithic era, Greece begs a trip or two. Its Mediterranean climate makes Greece pleasant to travel to all year round. Hot in the summer, its temperatures are slightly cooled by the Meltemi, the seasonal winds. The Greek Islands are also a sure bet with their established reputation as some of the world's top holiday destinations. Although the islands are numerous, it is easy to tell them apart as each has its own distinct identity. Last, but by no means least, Greek cuisine is one of the phenomena which contribute to the country's charms. Taramasalata, tsastiki, humous, stuffed grape leaves and moussaka are some of the specialities visitors flock to Greece to taste.
