Greece

Nestled in southeastern Europe, Greece boasts the Mediterranean’s longest coastline, a forested interior, and around 6,000 islands. This ancient land is rich with history, from the iconic Acropolis temples and museums in Athens to the rock monasteries of Meteora and the ruins at Delphi, Olympia, and Crete’s Palace of Knossos. Visitors can explore the whitewashed villages of Mykonos and Rhodes, laze on sandy and pebble bays, and watch sunsets over Santorini’s caldera. The country also invites travelers to savor the slow pace of life, perhaps lingering at harborside tavernas or wandering through time-capsule villages.
