Greece

Trip Planning & Itineraries

Having exported chaos, drama, tragedy and democracy before most nations were staying up late enough to want souvlaki, Greece boasts an unrivalled legacy. But don't expect a visit there to be a sober study of the ancient world - the Greek propensity for partying dates back to Dionysus.

From smoggy Athens to blindingly bright islands, ancient fragments abound - the belly button of the cosmos at Delphi, fallen columns galore on the sacred island of Delos, frescoed Minoan palaces on Crete and even, quite possibly, the remnants of Atlantis at Santorini.

Suggested Itineraries in Greece

The Greek year is a succession of festivals and events, some of which are religious, some cultural, others an excuse for a good party. Gynaikratia (Jan 8) is a day of role reversal in villages in northern Greece. Women spend the day in kafeneia (cafes) and other social centers where men usually congregate, while the men stay at home to do housework.

Easter is the most significant festival in Greece, with candle-lit processions, feasting and fireworks displays. Emphasis is placed on the Resurrection rather than on the Crucifixion, so it is a joyous occasion.
