About Greece

Greece is a Mediterranean destination where ancient history, island landscapes and modern city life come together. From archaeological sites to coastal towns and mountain villages, the country offers broad travel appeal for both leisure and business visitors.

Athens is the capital and main entry point, known for the Acropolis, the Plaka district and a lively cultural and business scene. Thessaloniki in the north combines Byzantine heritage and a waterfront promenade with a strong events and commercial presence, while Heraklion, Patras and Rhodes are important regional centres.

Beyond its cities, Greece is made up of thousands of islands and islets, with popular destinations including Santorini, Mykonos, Crete, Rhodes and Corfu. The mainland ranges from the mountains of the Peloponnese and the rock-top monasteries of Meteora to olive groves, vineyards and long coastlines.

Greece is known for its classical heritage, UNESCO sites, Orthodox monasteries, regional cuisine and seasonal events. Tourism, shipping and international conferences give the country strong relevance for leisure and business travel, and it also serves as a gateway to the eastern Mediterranean.

An extensive network of international airports, ferry routes, highways and intercity bus and rail links connects Athens, the islands and mainland regions, making travel between airports, cities, hotels, business districts, event venues and tourist destinations relatively convenient.
