Small white churches set against a backdrop of bright blue skies and deep blue seas paint the picture postcard image of Greece. Enriched by 1,400 islands scattered in gay abandon across the crystal clear waters of the Aegean Sea and enviable golden sand beaches, this gorgeously sunny country is a favourite haunt of the British.

Famous for its wondrous archaeological sites that provide vivid testimony to the historical glory of Athens, the Mainland is also known for its stunning scenery and superb sunsets over the Atlas Mountains. Set off its seemingly endless coastline, the five distinctly different clusters of islands offer an engaging mix of hedonistic playgrounds to tranquil ‘escape from it all’ havens.

As the birthplace of democracy, Western civilization and the Olympics, Greece has been a dominant force in world affairs for thousands of years. Today, this progressive country is still exerting its influence as one of the most alluring places to holiday, live and invest.
