Greece warmly welcome travellers drawn to the myths and monuments of its ancient culture, whose legacy lives in the striking presence of the Acropolis and Parthenon. Natural treasures include its coastline, with its oceans supporting a staggering 6,000 islands, some of which hold a legendary appeal for countless spellbound visitors.

Experiences The Greek islands of Rhodes, Crete, Santorini and Mykonos, amongst many others, have enchanted travellers for centuries with their trademark laid-back lifestyle of beautiful vistas, stunning nature, convivial ambience, and healthy, fresh produce. The Acropolis is one of the landmarks of Western civilisation and retains an other-

worldly presence as it looms large over modern Athens. Topped by the iconic Parthenon in white marble, its hues change throughout the day with the passage of the sun until the area is spectacularly illuminated at night. Not far from the history-filled but forward- looking capital city lie further antiquities such as the Temple of Poseidon and Eleusis, as well as a selection of great beaches along the Attica peninsula.
