Flights to Greece

Located in the Balkan Peninsula, the Hellenic Republic, also known as Greece, is a country in southeastern Europe bordered by three stunning seas: the Mediterranean Sea, the Ionian Sea, and the Aegean Sea. Known as the cradle of Western civilization, Greece boasts a long and rich history, with significant influence on the Roman Empire. Although the Romans conquered Greece in 168 BCE, Greek culture profoundly shaped Roman civilization. In the 15th century, Greece was occupied by the Ottoman Empire, a domination that ended when Greece gained its independence in 1822. Greece has been a member of the European Union since 1981.

Renowned for its rugged landscapes, lively resorts, and inviting beaches, Greece attracts millions of tourists every year. If you plan to explore this fascinating country, here are some must-see attractions: the Acropolis Hill in Athens, also known as the “Sacred Rock,” which houses the iconic Doric temple, the Parthenon – a masterpiece of Greek civilization; Mount Athos, called the “Holy Mountain,” home to a male-only monastic community with strict rules; Delphi, the site of ancient Greece's most important oracle, featuring the Tholos Temple and Mount Parnassus; the Epidaurus Theater, built in the 4th century BCE and remarkably well-preserved; the city of Monemvasia, famous for its Byzantine ruins turned into holiday accommodations; the Meteora Monasteries perched on towering cliffs; the Turkish Fountain in Ierapetra; and the ruins of the Minoan civilization in Crete.

Greek culture is vibrant, and the Greeks are famous for their traditional dances and their enthusiasm for celebrations. Among the most popular annual events are the Athens Rock Festival, the Ippokratia Festival on Kos Island, the Thessaloniki International Fair, the Ohi Day Parade in Athens, and the Athens Marathon.
