Greece


Best time to be there

The mainland and islands are very hot and dry in July and especially August, the preferred travel month for French, Italian and Spanish holiday makers, making conditions busy, hotel availability limited and the beaches crowded. May, June and September are infinitely more comfortable and generally less expensive.

athens and nafplion

A country steeped in history, Ancient Greece was at the heart of the civilised world producing exceptional creativity in thinking, writing and theatre. A third of the population of Greece lives in the capital, Athens, a city dating back some 3,500 years. The city is dominated by the famous Acropolis with the Parthenon, which has stood for 2,000 years along with the nearby Agora which formed the political heart of ancient Athens. Artifacts from excavations of Ancient Greece form the priceless collections of the National Archeological Museum, the Museum of Cycladic Art and the Benáki Museum. Nearby, the Temple of Poseidon towers over steep cliffs which tumble into the Aegean Sea at Cape Sounion, whilst at Delphi Ancient Greeks consulted the oracle at the Temple of Apollo.
