Greece is a land that most want to visit in their lifetime to explore ancient ruins, walk in the footsteps of Socrates and discover the birthplace of the Olympics. You will find yourself greeted by people who warmly welcome travelers and who want to share their wonderful local produce and Mediterranean cuisine. Think juicy Greek olives, punchy feta salads and fresh seafood.
But with all its history, Greece is also a modern country with Athens’ bustling shopping districts and lively nightlife.
There is a truly magical part of Greece too, the Cyclades island chain. This exciting archipelago has over 200 islands to explore, each with their own distinct charm. You can create your own Greek Odyssey with a sailing cruise touring these Greek islands. Explore Greece >
