Vacation in Greece

Hotels, Pensions, Vacation flats and holiday houses in Greece

Most people probably associate holidays in Greece with a classical holiday on one of the countless Mediterranean islands - they automatically think of long sand and gravel beaches, olive groves in a stark rocky terrain, and picturesque mountain villages with white windmills.

This is the Greece of the Aegean islands - the Cyclades, Dodecanese, and Sporades. Santorin is considered by many to be the most beautiful of the Cyclades island group, thanks to its black sandy beaches and the breathtaking scenery along volcanic craters. Idyllic villages with winding lanes crawl up mountain slopes and their whitewashed houses and blue-roofed churches are bright in the sunlight.

But Greece has a lot more to offer. Revelers and party-goers feel at home on Myconos. Many of its upscale clubs have been popular with the gay community for years. Myconos is clearly more tolerant than the rest of Greece. Swimming nude, which is completely prohibited everywhere else, is allowed here. The island of Ios is less mundane and thus especially popular with young backpackers. Unspoiled sandy beaches and the wild nightlife make up for the somewhat barren rocky landscape.

The Aegean islands are all different, but they all have a large number of guesthouses and small and large hotels. Some hotels have been in the same family for generations and bear the imprint of their owners? particularly Greek form of hospitality. There are also holiday apartments for every taste for those who would rather be on their own while on holiday.

But most of the antiques sites and museums are located in Athens, the capital. The most popular and best known of these is certainly the symbol of the Athens, the Acropolis, dominating the city with the impressive Parthenon. The Acropolis is a world heritage site and is illuminated at night, offering an unforgettable backdrop for an evening?s stroll through the Plaka, the old city of Athens.

Whether you want a relaxing holiday on the beach, a stimulating cultural tour, an active holiday, or all of these - Greece has just the thing for everyone and is definitely one of the most versatile travel destinations in Europe.
