A vacation in Greece

Greece is not only beautiful with its ocean landscapes, distinct architecture and delectable food but also an incredibly cheap. Things costs half what they cost in other parts of Europe. One of Europe’s most popular destinations during the summer times, people from around the world (and Europe) flock to its world famous islands for the sun and cities for its history. I love it here. It’s warm, it’s cheap, it has delicious food, beautiful island, and lively and friendly locals. Greece is the perfect summer destination.

Top Things to do.

Acropolis museum.

• Visit the Acropolis – Located in Athens, this magnificent temple is a great place to learn about Athens history, get a great view of the city, or the nearby ruins. During the summer, the place is swarming with tourists and sadly, the temple is always under construction but the views are great!

Explore the Past – Greece is where western civilization began and every where you turn, you will find ruins thousands of years old. Start in Athens with the museums, Acropolis, the surrounding ruins (the Agora is wonderful), and then set off to explore the ruins of Delphi, Sparta, and Crete. If you love history, you’ll love Greece.

Top Things to see.

• Explore the Beaches – From Crete to Santorini to Corfu, the Greek islands are some of the best in the world. Soak in the sun, white sand, blue roofed houses, and just relax. Santorini is famous for couples and Ios is great for parties and meeting other young travelers. Some off the beaten path islands include Rhodes, Kos, and Helios. During the summer, most of the islands are full so book early.
• Mount Olympus – Mount Olympus is the home of ancient gods. From here they would control the lives of mortal men. Any climb to Mount Olympus starts from the town of Litochoro. A walk up this mountain will be strenuous and mystical and you’ll see why Greeks thought it was this mountain the gods ruled from.
