Greece Vacation Packages

It’s really perfect in so many ways.  

This is why you will find that a Greece vacation package will suit just about everyone. So what can you expect to do on a trip to Greece? This is probably best answered by defining what you want. Are you looking for a bit of history and culture, or do you prefer to just relax as much as you can. In either event, Greece won’t let you down! 

History and Culture 

With such a rich history dating back thousands of years, it really comes as no surprise that a Greece vacation package will leave you standing in awe of the great historical sites. Athens is arguably the best place to be for this kind of thing. The sites include the Acropolis and Parliament Building at Syntagma Square. Then you have a range of museums to choose from like the National Archaelogical Museum as well as the Benaki Museum.

Greece is also known for being the original birthplace of the Olympics. This has a rich history in itself, so make sure to include a visit to the Kallimarmaron Stadium in your Greece vacation package. This is the place where the ancient Panathenaic Games were held.  

The ruins at Olympia are also a big favourite for tourists which you can combine with a visit to the ruins of the Temple of Zeus which once held the great Statue of Zeus. This was one of the Seven Wonders of the World!    All of these are just some of the many ancient archaeological sites that will appear you your cultural and historical nature.

Recreation and Relaxation 

Perhaps you want to stay away from the sites and attractions and rather soak up the Greek sun and lazy around on the beach. Of course there’s nothing that stops you from doing both – now there’s a thought! 

The Greek Islands are great. A very popular way to explore the different islands is to do what is casually known as ‘Island Hopping’. Simply put, you travel by boat from one island to another, spend a couple of days and then move on to the next.   This is a perfect way to sample the best of what each island has to offer and you’ll experience Greek hospitality one on one.

Rent a car or scooter to travel around on the island or just spend all day on the beach. Either way you will definitely relax.  

Some of the popular ones to you may want to consider is Crete, Santorini as well as Mykonos.  

On top of all of this you can take some time for a wine tour or ten at some of the charming local vineyards. Whatever you do, don’t forget to sample as many of the Greek foods as you can. The culinary ‘identity’ of Greek dishes is a fusion between local traditions as well as some outside influences from Turkey and Italy.

Some definite ones to try out are: 

• Moussaka 
• Pastitsio 
• Saganaki 
• Paidakia 

Tantalizing stuff!
