Greece holidays

Some countries seem to have been created with great holidays in mind, and Greece is certainly one of them. Widely considered as the birth place of civilisation, Greece is an enthralling array of ancient ruins and historical sites from Europe's glorious past. The capital, Athens, holds many wonders and leaves guests feeling the inspiring weight of history throughout their stay here.

If you're lucky enough to find yourself in Athens for a few days, there are some attractions that just cannot be missed. The Acropolis is one of the top sights in Athens. The old fortified centre of Athens served as the stronghold for the city's ancient kings and also as a home to the many shrines honouring the Gods. This immense limestone structure should be at the top of any sightseer's list. The theatre of Dionysis is another must see in Athens, located close to the Acropolis, it is one of the the oldest of architectural structures in Greece, and is a stunning tribute to the God of the same name.

If you would rather sit back and unwind on a fabulous beach, with a cocktail in your hand during your holiday, Greece is a superb choice. There is a huge choice of beautiful islands surrounding Greece that are devoted almost entirely to tourism. Each island offers something a little different, with its own unique character and charm. The most popular islands among holidaymakers include Crete, Rhodes, Corfu and Santorini.
