If you need to describe your vacation in Greece in a few words, it would be more correct to say "all at once". This amazing country is really able to offer its guests (whose number is in the millions every year) the most varied and at the same time high-quality rest. Each stone of the Greek territory is steeped in history, so questions about the local "excursion" can not even arise. But it is a real crime to come here just for antiquities, because in addition to the monuments of antiquity, there is a lot of things to see and try - stunning beaches, excellent ski resorts, excellent cuisine and wines, picturesque islands and much more. {{47 | 112} }
