Greece offers an amazingly rich history as home of Zeus, Apollo, Poseidon, Hades, Pan, Eros, Aphrodite, Theseus, Odysseus, Jason and the Argonauts, Atlantis, the Spartans, Alexander the Great, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Archimedes, Hippocrates, the advanced Minoan civilisation, stunning architectural and artistic designs, Drama and Chaos. And the Olympics.

Until a few years ago it seemed that the god Chaos was still in control of the country, but with entry into European Community heaven and submission to the Brussels god, a stable government and currency, and growing sense of national pride the country has seen rapid development and improvement in many areas of interest to foreign travellers - transport is far safer and more efficient, cuisine is more varied and interesting [apart from things fishy which are in ironically short supply], accommodation is better, and many more locals speak other languages than Greek.

Of course it's not all good news...costs have risen dramatically as have numbers of tourists flooding the place, but if you choose your time and destination with care you should have a sunny and successful holiday.
We feature three mainland destinations including the Greek capital Athens, seven islands and a lot of Greece's best beaches. These photos were taken between early September and early October.
