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.
The archipelago is incredibly beautiful and offers an easy-going lifestyle for tourists. We Scandinavians have traveled here since the dawn of travel and never cease to be charmed by the white and the blue – we long to return every year. The capital Athens on the mainland is by far the largest city in the country, home to more than a third of the population.
Greece charms the world
Countless Greek tavernas invite you to long, warm evenings with Greek food and a wonderful atmosphere. The Greek archipelago is vast, but which island suits you, your travel companions, and your needs? While the islands are undoubtedly the most visited, plenty of Greek gems await on the mainland. Costa Navarino is one of the latest newly discovered destinations in Greece. Well worth a visit, we think – and we are already longing to go back.
