How to evoke Greece without mentioning its capital : Athens ? Heart of ancient Greece, cradle of civilizations, the city is full of mythical monuments, built in the fifth century BC : UNESCO World Heritage Site, the citadel of the Acropolis erected at the top of a hill dominates the city. The Parthenon, Erechtheum and Temple of Athena are among the most visited monuments on the planet. Discover its museums, but also its lively districts and its traditional restaurants ! Taste the flavors of local cuisine, from tzatziki to Greek salad to stuffed grape leaves, moussaka, feta cheese, fasolada and gyros, the famous Greek sandwich, perfect for picnicking on your excursions.

Beyond its typical cuisine, Greece is also known for its islands with postcard landscapes. Start with Corfu, a real gem of Greece : off the north-west coast, facing the Ionian Sea, this island owes its popularity to its many seaside resorts, nestled between its steep mountains. Considered one of the most beautiful islands in the country, its wildflower fields and olive trees give it a special atmosphere. Take the time to stroll through the winding alleys of the medieval old town of Corfu, and admire its varied architecture, Venetian-inspired, but also French and Italian. Further south, take a stroll along the Achilleion Palace, built in the 19th century. From its terraced gardens, you will have a breathtaking view of the city and the surrounding villages. Finally, stroll along the coastline : sandy beaches, wild coves and beautiful caves will be waiting for you ! Families in search of tranquility will appreciate the beautiful bay of Agio Georgios : its shallow waters and beautiful sandy beaches are ideal for relaxation and swimming. Fans will go to Kavos, a beautiful coastal town on the southern tip of Corfu. If the day, water activities, paragliding and jet-ski are in the spotlight, at night, its main street comes alive and becomes the paradise of night owls with its bars and its many nightclubs.

In the south of the country, stop in one of the most beautiful islands in the world : Crete ! The region of Chania, also known as "Chania", is full of small fortified villages, where Turkish and Venetian architecture intertwine. Its pristine white beaches, charming Venetian ports and unspoilt natural sites are worth a look. In the center of the island, in the massif of the White Mountains, Samaria Gorge is home to an extremely rich fauna and flora that the most sporty holidaymakers can discover through multiple trekking paths.

Finally, do not leave without discovering the breathtaking beauty of the Cyclades : from Mykonos the festive Santorini and Paros, churches with blue domes mingle with bright white houses reflecting the sunlight, facing the turquoise sea . The golden beaches of these Greek islands are true paradisiacal expanses, which the photographers will not fail to immortalize, by a sunset with shimmering colors.
