Greece Holidays

Greece is known as the birthplace of democracy and is the oldest civilisation on our continent. Greece is famous for philosophers, playwrights, poets, architecture and ancient history and mythology. It is also believed that Greeks from the city of Troy founded Rome, making Greece truly the founders of civilisation in Europe.

This makes Greece the place to visit for a cultured trip as well as ideal for beach holidays and last minute breaks, either as part of a couple or with the whole family.

What to see in Greece

Perhaps the most famous landmark in Greece is the Acropolis, which sits high above the city of Athens. The Acropolis is the temple of Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and war, and was constructed in the fifth century BC.  The Acropolis in Athens isn’t far from the Athenian resorts of Metamorfosi and Poro.

Greece is a country rich with sights such as this, which makes Greece perfect for the budding history buff and fans of ancient architecture, and is great for bringing history to life for the children.

If you wanted to tour the Greek Islands it would take you more than just the one trip as there are more than 6,000 different islets.

Family holidays to Greece

Greece isn’t just about culture and ancient monuments, it’s also a country where you can take the whole family and enjoy yourself on the beach. The island of Corfu for example is highly popular with British holidaymakers for family holidays as it benefits from a milder climate when compared with other Mediterranean countries and means there are often last minute breaks available. Corfu has excellent beaches and a lush environment, which marks it out against other Greek islands.

There are numerous resorts in Corfu, with Acharavi on the north coast being one of the most popular. Acharavi is just 40km from the airport and can be accessed through ancient Greek villages.
