A destination where you can enjoy beautiful scenery, clear blue seas, be welcomed by the warm and friendly residents and visit a myriad of ancient sites and monuments. Greece is a land of sea and mountains made up of the hilly mainland and approximately 1400 islands – the largest of which is Crete. You will discover wonderful sandy beaches and secluded coves. Each island is different. Greek is the official language but many Greeks speak English.
