Holidays in Greece - reviews about the perfect resort

The ancient culture of Greece had an incredibly great influence on Western art, philosophy, politics and sport: it was from here that comedy and drama, the alphabet, democracy, the republic, the Olympic Games came. Among other things, the climate, highlands and paradise island beaches are weighty arguments for spending a holiday in Greece.

Reviews of tourists are very numerous, which is not surprising, because this country is one of the most popular destinations. According to the Ministry of Tourism, in 2007 the state hosted more than 17 million foreign visitors, which is a huge amount for a small country with a population of 11 million people.
