Introduction
What is it about Greece that both stimulates the mind and yet soothes the senses? Is it our fascination with the history of a country which is the cradle of all Western civilisation? Or the sensuality and serenity of a lifestyle spun out in the warmth of the southern sun far from the chatter and madness of the world? The constant lull and timeless rhythm of the sea? Or is it the appeal of a society where traditions hold firm and the pace of life is slower and unaltered by the pressures of the modern world?
From the dramatic lunar beauty of the Cyclades Islands to the pine-covered mountains and sandy beaches of Halkidiki to the quintessential Mediterranean landscape of citrus and olive groves that is Crete, the sheer geographical variety of the
mainland and its infinite scattering of islands is certainly intoxicating.
Whether you seek the quiet simplicity of village life or the classical elegance of city hotels, each destination has its own separate identity and distinctive spirit. Athens, the epicentre of Greek culture during the Golden Age, is home to world renowned architectural attractions including the Acropolis, Parthenon and the temples of Zeus and Venus. The picturesque islands of Santorini, famed for its small whitewashed villages clinging to the cliff’s edge and panoramic views, Mykonos with its colourful harbour, windmills and stunning sunset and not forgetting Crete with its golden beaches and charming villages. No wonder the Gods of old mythology, so enchanted by what they saw, made Greece their heaven on earth.
