Greece
Sun-bleached islands, ancient ruins, and the birthplace of Western civilisation.
Greece is where myth meets Mediterranean beauty. The whitewashed villages and blue-domed churches of Santorini are among the most photographed scenes on earth, while Athens' Acropolis stands as a monument to human achievement. Crystal-clear waters, exceptional cuisine built on olive oil and fresh seafood, and a relaxed island pace of life make Greece an enduring favourite for British holidaymakers.
