Mini-Guide To Greece

Greece is a country famous for its claim to being the birthplace of democracy. This stunning country has some fantastic sights as well as numerous heritage buildings and a superb climate.

There is so much culture and history in the country that it would prove difficult to see everything in one visit. The country has many islands and though this makes for some wonderful holiday destinations, the islands can be inaccessible for day trips.

It is best to try and research some of the historic sites and places you want to see and then schedule them in; this will ensure you have enough time to take in as many sights as possible. All the areas, such as Thrace, Macedonia and Thessaly, as well as the central region, have a long history and many historic sites to be seen.
