Greece: A story shaped by many cultures

Greece is where Western civilization was born. Athens with its Parthenon, Delphi and its oracle, the monasteries of Meteora suspended in the clouds. And then the islands: the legendary sunsets of Santorini, the nightlife of Mykonos, the beaches of Crete, the forgotten paradises of the Dodecanese. History, culture, gastronomy and Mediterranean beauty in a single destination.
