Providing Fascinating Travel Experiences
Why visit Greece?
Because we can travel in any season: Greece is known for the sun and the sea (300 days of sunshine a year), which is why the government has unveiled a new tourism policy that commits to extend the tourist season. Indeed, the weather conditions are perfect and allow visitors to enjoy each season without worrying about the period.
Because there is Athens: Although there are certain parts of the city to be avoided, such as the corner of Omonia or Menandrou Street, Athens is still a very pleasant place to visit. Taking the convertible bus would be very convenient and desirable as it passes through a lot of interesting sites not to be missed. Of course, your trip is not complete without visiting the Acropolis of Athens and its museum, the Agora, the Parthenon, the Temple of Hephaesteaion, the Kerameikos and Temple of Zeus Olympian.
BecausethereisSantorini: Santoriniisavolcanicislandfamousforits spectacular views, white houses and active volcano. This Greek island is best known for the high cliffs of Fira (the capital) and Oia which is on the west coast. These two small towns are considered romantic destina- tions and are popular for weddings and honeymoons. We invite you to visit the archaeological site of Akrotiri and discover the black volcanic sand beaches on the southern coast for a unique experience.
Because there is Mykonos: A beautiful island in the Cyclades, which looks exactly like postcards: small white houses with flowers and blue shutters, painted streets, windmills, dovecotes, a myriad of small churches and superb restaurants and cafes. Mykonos has the reputa- tion of being an island particularly visited by homosexuals, but it is not the whole truth. The gay public is there, but it is also and above all a glamorous place for rich and famous people, which you will under- stand very clearly when you take a look at the prices on the menus. Because you have to see a sunset at Meteora: One of the most unusual things to see is the plain of Thessaly, where bizarre rocky outcrops are capped by the centuries-old monasteries of Meteora. On the UNESCO World Heritage List, six of the monasteries are open to the public. You need to climb several flights of stone steps carved into the rock to reach each monastery. Inside, you will find flickering candles, religious icons and Byzantine frescoes. On top of that, the best of the sunset is waiting for you here!
