About Greece
Ancient civilisation meets island paradise — the Acropolis, Santorini sunsets, Mykonos beaches, Cretan cuisine, and 6,000 islands of turquoise Aegean and Mediterranean waters.
Greece is where Western civilisation began — and where some of the world's most beautiful islands sit in turquoise seas. The Acropolis in Athens is the ultimate symbol of ancient glory. Santorini's blue-domed churches overlooking the volcanic caldera are the world's most photographed scene. Mykonos delivers cosmopolitan beach life. Crete offers the oldest civilisation in Europe (Minoan) and the best food. Rhodes has a medieval old town. With 6,000 islands, endless beaches, and legendary hospitality, Greece delivers a Mediterranean dream. Halal restaurants are available in Athens and tourist areas.
