Greece Vacation Packages and Tours

An echo of humankind's greatest thinkers and historians must permeate the warm air where the lightening god, Zeus and the monstrous Minotaur, the Oracle and the Minoan bull jumpers once roamed. 

The birthplace of organized sport in Olympus and sanctuaries and palaces fit for gods with a taste for pleasure and drama, soft sand beaches and dramatic cliffs leading to warm waters: Greece delivers. The peacock blue Aegean has hosted boats on its undulating waves; from the ancient wooden triremes to modern slick yachters, Greece cradles four seas for your amusement. No wonder the great poet, Homer, three millennia ago was inspired by this classic fairyland where names like, Troy and Delphi seduce the imagination. 

Laying at the Southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula Greece is the only European Union country not to share a land boarder. To the north is Albania, Macedonia and Bulgaria, to the east Turkey. With 169 Greek islands divided into the Cyclades, Dodecanese, Sporades, Ionian and the Saronic Gulf, influences from Egypt and Persia, Venice and others left their art, style and fuelled the fantastic tales to be found on these dreamy islands were legends of monsters and goddesses fire the imagination. 

The Dinaric Alps form the backbone of the mainland, while Athens as the heart of art and history drum an endless beat which continues to awe and mesmerize the modern visitor. Swim over a submerged white column off of the possible site of Atlantis in Santorini, hike the open-air museum of Delos where Artemis and Apollo were born and only ghosts remain, party like a rock-star on Mykonos where the best greasy gyro can be had after midnight when liquorishy ouzu needs to be absorbed so the dancing can continue. 

Sitting at a kafenio (coffee shop), sipping an unfiltered strong Greek coffee, you may feel more inclined than ever to sit back and listen to the wind through the gnarled olive trees and wonder if you “know thyself” as Socrates mused once upon a time, maybe right where you are seated.
