About Greece

Greece is often considered the birthplace of Western civilization, with a legacy that includes democracy, philosophy, theater, and the Olympic Games. Its ancient ruins, such as the Parthenon in Athens and the temples of Delphi, draw millions of visitors each year. Beyond its history, Greece is known for its island-dotted coastline, Mediterranean cuisine, and strong traditions rooted in family and community. Modern Greece blends ancient heritage with a relaxed, welcoming lifestyle, especially on its scenic islands like Santorini, Crete, and Rhodes.

Fun fact: Greece has around 6,000 islands and islets, but only about 227 of them are inhabited.
