Santorini
Whitewashed Oia cascading down the caldera to the deep-blue Aegean — the ultimate sunset.
About Greece
Whitewashed isles, ancient ruins and the bluest of seas
Greece is where Western civilisation began and where the Mediterranean is at its most seductive — blue-domed churches tumbling toward the caldera in Santorini, the Parthenon glowing above Athens, and whitewashed lanes spilling onto impossibly clear waters.
Island-hop from the windmills of Mykonos to the clifftop monasteries of Meteora, feast on fresh seafood and souvlaki, and end each day with a sunset and a glass of assyrtiko. Few places combine history, beauty and easy pleasure so completely.
Local Culture
Greek life revolves around philoxenia (love of guests), long sun-drenched meals and the rhythms of the sea. Orthodox traditions, village festivals (panigyria), bouzouki music and the ritual of the kafeneio endure across 6,000 islands. Ancient myth and modern warmth live side by side.
