Overview
Greece's history stretches back 5,500 years: producing art, culture and philosophy when most nations were still in their infancy. The chance to see the Acropolis, ancient Olympia and the birthplace of Apollo draws many travelers here, but Greece offers so much more. Whitewashed homes, neoclassical architecture, olive orchards and the exuberant spirit of the Greek people make this an addictive destination.
