Greece is mostly known for being a paradise of turquoise waters that extend through its coastline. But it was an influential country in ancient times, echoed in its capital of Athens, where you'll find historical sites like the Acropolis and the Parthenon. Explore the black sand beaches in Santorini, the nightlife in Mykonos and the natural outdoors by taking a Byzantine footpath or hiking to one of the volcanoes. The culture is best seen in its cuisine and its music.
