Overview:
With well over a
hundred inhabited islands and a territory that
stretches from the south Aegean to the Balkan
countries, Greece offers enough to fill months
of travel. The historic sites span four
millennia, encompassing both the legendary and
the obscure, where a visit can still seem like a
personal discovery. Beaches are parceled out
along a convoluted coastline equal to France's
in length, and islands range from backwaters
where the boat calls twice a week to resorts as
cosmopolitan as any in the Mediterranean.
Of course there are
formal cultural activities as well: museums that
shouldn't be missed, magnificent medieval
mansions and castles , as well as the great
ancient sites dating from the Neolithic, Bronze
Age, Minoan, Classical, Hellenistic, Roman and
Byzantine eras. Greece hosts some excellent festivals too, bringing international
theatre, dance and musical groups to perform in
ancient theatres, as well as castle courtyards
and more contemporary venues in coastal and
island resorts.
Greece offers something spectacular for
