Location Attributes

Officially known as the Hellenic Republic, Greece is a state in the Mediterranean sea at the tip of the Balkan Peninsula with a population of just under 11 million inhabitants.

Bordering Albania, Bulgaria and the former Yugoslav Republic to the north, and Turkey to the east, Greece's sun-drenched coastline stretches over 8,500 miles and overlooks the Ionian and Aegean seas.

Greece is largely driven by the tourist industry, and caters well for its many visitors during the summer months between April and October. Holiday accommodation in Greece can be found at all levels - from family-run bed and breakfasts to elegant hotels; from apartments in the Greek Islands to villas in Peloponnese with private pools. The ruggedly beautiful landscape that is to be found all over mainland Greece and its islands is popular with visitors seeking peace and tranquillity.

Steeped in history and culture and with many locations of important historic significance, Greece is perfect for the sight-seer, whether you choose to explore the capital city of Athens from one of the holiday apartments in Attica or investigate the many ancient sites that exist on the islands.

Attractions and Activities

The countless harbour sides can provide unforgettable evenings beneath the stars. The ancient gods still smile down on Greece and her stunning islands ensuring that life is easy and the setting dramatic.

Approximately four-fifths of Greece is mountainous, lying over 4,920 feet above sea level, with 20% of the country's total area covered by forest. Mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers have encouraged a richness of flora,many of which occur nowhere else, and some 100 varieties of orchid.

The marine and bird life in Greece have been severely depleted due to the Greek's fondness for hunting and fishing, yet there is an abundance of wildlife still to be found, including the last largest colony of sea turtles and the endangered monk seal.

With plenty of ancient sites, stunning beaches, traditional tavernas or vibrant resorts, you can be sure that there's an island with a character and atmosphere that's just right for you - and of course, a welcome that's as warm as the climate.
