Chronicled by a galaxy of Olympia gods, Greece has a history counted in millennia. A virtual museum of Mediterranean civilization, this lyrical land of philosophers, lovers, legends and warriors welcomes travelers with an intricate mosaic of unique culture and beautiful heritage. Present-day Greece is being enjoyed by more than 12 million visitors per year. They come to enjoy not only its history, but also the natural beauty of the mainland, the Islands, and its modern sophistication that is far beyond the image conveyed by typical travel posters and Zorba the Greek. The Greek isles are synonymous with clear water, gentle breezes and a clarity of light that have drawn visitors throughout the ages.
