Greece

The birthplace of Western Civilization, democracy and the Olympic Games, Greece is a revered travel destination for aficionados of history and stunning Aegean seascapes alike. Archaeological wonders from several millennia dot its mountainous mainland and many of its more than 2,000 islands, including Santorini and Crete, home of the mysterious Minoan civilization. Legendary Greek landmarks let visitors feel like they are stepping back in time, from the ancient ruins of the Acropolis in Athens to the picturesque villages in Mt. Pelion, once thought of as the playground of the gods.
