For the greatest savings - Call Etiam on 0845 241 3308 Greece Greece Thessaloniki HALKIDIKI GREECE Athens ZAKYNTHOS MYKONOS Porto Heli Costa Navarino Kalamata SANTORINI GREEK ISLANDS Heraklion Agios Nikolaos CRETE Greece STEEPED IN MYTHOLOGY AND IMBUED WITH A PEACEFUL PURITY, GREECE COMBINES A MOUNTAINOUS BEAUTY WITH A MYRIAD OF WORLD-CLASS BEACH RESORTS. Greece is the cradle of Western civilisation, a destination that both stimulates the mind and soothes the senses. The sensuality and serenity of a lifestyle spun out in the warmth of the southern sun pervades. Here, traditions hold firm and the pace of life is slower and unaltered by the pressures of the modern world. From the dramatic lunar beauty of the Cyclades to the pine-covered mountains and sandy beaches of Halkidiki, the sheer geographical variety of the Greek mainland and its infinite scattering of islands is intoxicating. Marvel at the treasures of Athens with its dazzling Acropolis temples of Zeus and Venus, before sailing out to a host of enchanting islands. Mykonos with its colourful harbour; Crete’s wildflowers, white-washed villages, dramatic gorges and rugged scenery and in Santorini, blue-domed churches contrast vibrantly against sugar-hued buildings. The clear waters and temptingly quiet coves of the Costa Navarino and Halkidiki are a triumph for families. Everywhere delicious Greek cuisine is to be savoured in convivial style, mezes of feta salads, spicy souvlaki and tangy moist stuffed vine leaves complemented by fish plucked freshly from crystalline seas. Whether in search of the quiet simplicity of village life or the classical elegance of city hotels, each destination has its own separate identity and distinctive spirit. No wonder the Gods of old mythology, so enchanted by what they saw, made Greece their heaven on earth.
