Greece is famous for its history and its many beautiful islands. The stunningly picturesque Greek islands have inspired mankind back to the time of Homer. This is nature at its dramatic and visual best. Deep blue seas are contrasted by rugged coastlines, plunging cliffs, golden sand beaches, and isolated coves. The human touch is equally attractive with characteristic “sugar-cube” architecture, blue-domed churches, white-washed monasteries, photogenic windmills, and crumbling fortresses. History has left a footprint as well, providing ancient archaeological sites to be explored.
