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.
