Imagine yourself on a beach, with the sun beaming down on you, the waves gently lapping on the shore and a cocktail in hand, life doesn’t get much better than this, is it?

Well, next time you are looking for absolute relaxation, I recommend that you look no further than the Greek islands of pure paradise.

As Greece consists of 2 mainland peninsulas and thousands of islands along the Aegean and Ionian Seas, it is fair to say that you will have more than many options to choose from.

With a characteristic Mediterranean climate, Greece is known for its very hot and dry summers, along with mild and rainy winters. However, famous for its magnificent sunshine, chances of prolonged rains are rare. However, weather patterns can vary due to the dictates of the landscape and distance from shore.

For example, the interior areas will be different from the high mountains, and the south is warmer and drier than the north. With the hot and dry seasons between April and September, the mild and wet seasons begin from October to March. So depending on whether you are a sun worshiper or a creature of culture, you may want to consider what time of year you venture into this sublime country.

Speaking of culture, Greek culture has evolved tremendously over thousands of years and is still considered the birthplace of Western civilization. Most of the customs and traditions are religious in nature, with Easter being the most important celebration of the year, so much so that the Greeks will have had celebrations and preparations underway two months earlier.

If you want to try life as a Greek or you just want to be part of something special, I recommend that you visit Greece during Holy Week.

Each island and continent will have its own unique preservation of ancient history, however, there is nothing better than how it is found in Athens. Being the capital of the country, the city attracts more than 22 million tourists a year and given how much there is to do, you can understand why. You can take a tour in an open-top double-decker bus, which allows you to trace the history and culture of Athens.

You can visit world famous museums with inconceivable views of ancient temples. If you like the idea of ​​being close to water and do not usually suffer from seasickness, you can try a boat trip where you will visit the main port and some of the surrounding ports, and also visit a small fishing port. It houses a nautical museum that has been highly appreciated by many visitors. For shopaholics, there is also more than a variety of shopping opportunities within the city!

During your stay in Greece, there are not only a variety of places to visit, but there are also a wide variety of accommodations to stay in. If you prefer the idea of ​​a quirky little apartment in the city to a luxurious Greek holiday villa On a secluded island, every island and continent will have something unique to offer. Some of the best accommodation in the country can be found on the small island of Paxos, south of Corfu.
