Holidays in Greece

by Delia Muntean Landscape arhitect

 

One of the most wonderful holidays that I have ever had was in Greece. There is something about this country that just takes your breath away and makes you come back to visit it every year.

Greece is a land of history, a land of beauty, culture and just one of the most amazing places that you will ever find on this planet. Every stone, every piece of land, every inch of the sea is history and when you lay your eyes on the amazing landscapes of this country, you know that you are about to experience one of the most wonderful holidays of your life.

Greece is situated in the south- east of Europe, and also of the Balkan Peninsula. Three seas surround it: the Mediterranean Sea, the Aegean Sea and the Ionian Sea, which makes it a very prosperous country, economically speaking. The capital of Greece, Athens is one of the most amazing places in the world, and if you ever plan holidays in Greece, do not leave without having visited this city.

Greece, as all of you must know, is an heir to Byzantine Empire and of the Ottoman Rulers. This country is not only a mystical one, with beautiful architecture and great food, but it is one of the most important countries in Europe because it is considered to be the cradle of civilization in the west. For the first time democracy was born in Greece, philosophy was also born here and this country was also the first to invent and thus host the Olympic games. Drama, political science and literature of the best quality all were born in Greece, a country that gave so much to Europe and still does by its breath -taking places.

It is well known that truism is a major industry in Greece and I am not surprised. Who would not want to see the place where the first dramas were played or where the first philosophy gave a meaning to life.

When you choose a place to spend your holidays, you should make sure that you receive more than you give and from this point of view Greece is the place to go. Now a member of the European Union, Greece is a very prosperous country that is has very elevated standards, but somehow remains true to its origins and beliefs.

I am not the only person who has declared that one of their best holidays was in Greece. Like me are thousands, maybe millions, that have fallen in love with this amazing country, with its people, with its culture and most of all, with its beaches. If ever you decide to take some time off and plan one of the best holidays you will ever have, then I am sure that Greece is the destination. I do not have the smallest doubt because I know that every one of you is more than curious to see those white ruins, see the places where people first cried or laughed together watching a theatre act and most of all I know that the Mediterranean and the sandy, warm beaches will steal your heart. I forgot to mention the hospitality and the amazing food that the Greeks are known for…. this I’ll let you discover for yourselves.
