Greece is a destination that exceeds every expectation. Athens is a living ancient city — the Acropolis rising above a modern metropolis of excellent restaurants and a thriving arts scene. The islands offer infinite variety: Santorini's iconic caldera views, Mykonos's glamorous energy, Crete's size and diversity, Corfu's Venetian architecture, the lesser-known Naxos and Paros for those who want to escape the crowds.
