Selected must-see places in Greece
With its diverse landscapes and cities, each with its own identity, Greece offers many possibilities for a Mediterranean holiday. Athens, the capital, invites its visitors to immerse themselves in the special atmosphere of an open-air museum.
The Acropolis, the Agora, the National Garden and the charming Plaka district are some of the sites not to be missed. Greece is also a land of sunny islands, with scenery worthy of the greatest artists’ paintings. From the Ionian Islands to the Cyclades, via Crete and Rhodes, there is much to discover.
Arhenes Acropolis
On Crete, the fifth largest Mediterranean island, the archaeological site of Knossos is well worth a visit. The island of Santorini, one of Europe’s most beautiful islands, has postcard images with its pristine white villages and blue roofs. Mykonos, popular with the jet-set, is distinguished by its trendy atmosphere, its narrow streets that invite you to stroll and its secret coves scattered along the coast.
Greek gastronomy, daughter of Demeter and Dyonisos
Are you a gourmet with a delicate palate? Come and taste the culinary specialities of Greece, both continental and insular. Greek cuisine is thousands of years old, and a few key foods mark out its identity, with a king food: olive oil, used in all sorts of sauces.
Greek cuisine includes traditional moussakas, where aubergines and goats are mixed together, tatziki, a fresh and healthy sauce to be eaten without moderation, and dolma, a vine leaf stuffed with spicy rice… Turkish and Italian influences are still present, Greece is a mosaic! However, each region has its own specialities. In Lesbos, try grilled octopus and ouzo, before eating pastries in Thessaloniki.
A little dessert for the end? The sweet Koum-Kouat cherry, found only in Corfu, in the Ionian Islands, is a treat!
