The Greek islands mostly offer peace, beauty, and of course the lovely warm guaranteed sunshine. Greece is famous for the friendliness of the local people towards visitors, the cuisine, and the naturalness of the villages and landscape. Of course for those people who want more modern facilities these can be found on many of the islands, and certain areas are well known for their exiting nightlife. Discos, nightclubs, scuba diving and other water sports are easy to find. The main activity in Greece seems to be eating and talking in the restaurants and tavernas. These establishments offer an astonishing variety of foods and you can order just a snack or a full range of dishes to suit everybody. It is still possible to find a village taverna where an impromptu gathering of musicians play traditional tunes on traditional Greek instruments.

Crete is the largest of the Greek islands and is also the furthest away from the Greek mainland. This island is famous for the warm waters of the Mediterranean, its mountain scenery, small village resorts and architectural history. Greece as a whole has many museums and is extremely proud of its history. The Greek Drachma until it’s recent demise was the oldest currency in the world. Everyone is used to the phrase ‘Ancient Greece’ and no wonder. Greece boasts one of the oldest civilisations in the world and continues to discover artefacts from the Minoan era in Crete. Who was not brought up on stories from Ancient Greece, stories about the gods, brave adventurers and monsters.
