Athens Greece Vacations by Apple

Greece Wine Tours

In Greece, you are standing at a crossroads of cultures, colors and civilizations. Feel the strength of history and the warmth of being in the southernmost part of Europe, yet discover an eclectic meshing of thought, influence and experiences. A country that despite being rich in history has an attitude that moves towards the future. A country that although comparatively small, is huge in its diversity. A landscape that has given the world thousands of post card images but remains incredibly vibrant and almost impossible to capture.
Greece is a country of beautiful contradictions, a constant journey in time, from the present to the past and back again. Walk through the olive groves. Discover the ancient sites. Explore the clusters of sparsely inhabited islands. Roam from shining beaches to majestic mountains and be dazzled by the breathtaking scenery. In Greece the fusion of images becomes more than imagery and turns into a spectacular reality.

Bring your appetite! The unique tastes of Greece guarantee that you are in for many culinary surprises during your stay. Contrary to common belief, you will discover that Greek cuisine is not just moussaka, souvlaki and choriatiki salata, but a wide variety of dishes that can meet the culinary demands of any palate. Dining could not be more delicious than in the country that gave birth to symposiums and the Epicurean philosophers. It was, in fact, Archestratos who, in 330 B.C., wrote the first cookbook in history, and reminded us that fine cuisine is a sign of civilization.
Visitors to Greece have the opportunity to make a unique journey through a rare mosaic of history and culture, which has left an indelible mark on all of Western Civilization. Stand in the shadow of the mighty Acropolis, walk in the footsteps of Aristotle, or visit the Oracle at Delphi. From prehistoric times until the present, Greece has been the standard-bearer of high culture.
No trip to Greece would be complete without a visit to the magnificent Greek Islands. Many Greek Isle beaches are award winning, all offer something special. Apart from swimming, they lend themselves to scuba diving, snorkeling, water skiing, sailing and windsurfing. As they are the cradle of some of the most ancient and prosperous European civilizations (the Cycladic, Minoan civilizations, etc.), the islands boast unique archaeological sites, an outstanding architectural heritage and centuries old, fascinating local traditions of a multifaceted cultural past. All of this, combined with the ideal climate, the safety of Greek waters and the short distances between ports and coasts, have rendered the islands a must see.
