As democracy's birthplace, it offers amazing archaeological sites, from Athens' Acropolis to the ruins of Delphi and Olympia. Beyond history, Greece has over 6,000 islands in crystal-clear waters, with Santorini's white buildings and Mykonos' lively nightlife attracting travelers from everywhere. Food lovers can enjoy real Greek cooking, with fresh seafood, olive oil, and classics like moussaka and souvlaki. The Athens Festival runs from May to October with shows at ancient venues. Visitors can take ferries to nearby spots like Italy, Turkey, and other Greek islands, making it a great starting point for exploring the Mediterranean. Greece's friendly welcome and beautiful landscapes create lasting memories for all travelers.
Lesbos, Greece's third largest island, blends stunning landscapes, rich history, and authentic Greek culture. This eastern Aegean gem features beautiful beaches with crystal-clear waters, mountains, and charming fishing villages that showcase traditional island life. Visitors can explore Molyvos' medieval castle, wander through the protected petrified forest, or relax in Eftalou's therapeutic hot springs. The capital city, Mytilene, shows off impressive neoclassical buildings and an ancient theater, while the island's olive groves make some of Greece's best olive oil. Every summer, Lesbos celebrates its traditions, music, and food through various cultural festivals.
