Greece
Greece is the birthplace of democracy and the modern form of politics, the birthplace of literature, advanced urban architecture, and most of all the sciences and arts. There is an abundance of ancient monuments and historic places to visit.
Grekland är födelseplatsen för demokrati och den moderna formen av politik. Födelseorten av litteraturen, den avancerade urbana arkitektur och de flesta av alla vetenskaper och konst. Här finns ett överflöd av antika lämningar och historiska platser att besöka.
It is incredibly beautiful out there on the islands, and it is easy to enjoy it as a tourist. We Scandinavians have traveled here since the beginning of travel and never cease to be charmed by the white and the blue—we yearn to return every year. The capital, Athens on the mainland, is the largest city in the country, with more than a third of the country’s inhabitants.
Greece charms the world
Greek taverns are plentiful and invite you to long, warm evenings with Greek food and a nice atmosphere. The Greek islands are great, but what suits you and your party’s needs? Islands are undoubtedly the most visited, but the amounts of Greek gems are waiting on the mainland. Costa Navarino is one of the latest newly discovered destinations in Greece. Worth a visit, we think, and we’re already longing to go back.
