If you’ve never been to Greece and wanted to know what it’s like, then check out this Youtube video:

When it comes to taking a holiday, Greece has it all.  Explore ancient archaeological ruins in and around bustling Athens such as the Acrópolis, Delphi and Olympia , or set sail and find paradise in some of Greece’s 1,400 islands.

If you’ve never seen truly turquoise seas lap onto bright white sands, you’ll see them here.

Either join the party in Mykonos or Santorini, or chill out on on the Sporades islands or the Saronic Gulf islands,  located close to the mainland.

What’s more, with kids going back to school in the next couple of weeks, expect flights to get cheaper and hoteliers to drop their rates and resorts to get blissfully quiet.

However, keep a check on the news if you’re planning a trip to Athens.  Forest fires are edging close to the city limits, so the city is likely to be quite smoggy and smoke filled depending on wind direction. But don’t rule out a visit to the rest of the country.  It’s too good to miss!
