Excerpts

"In addition to the fine beaches, Greece offers ancient cities, lost temples, crusader castles and mighty sea fortresses amid striking scenery. For accommodation you can choose from bright, modern apartments and small hotels, big, bustling resorts or comfortable restored traditional mansions, castles or former monasteries.

Lovers of nature will find isolated mountain wilderness and giant freshwater lakes which attract Europe's rarest birds, and fields and forests full of wild flowers and dazzling butterflies.

For those in search of sport, Greece offers the best yachting and windsurfing in Europe, plus water-skiing from dozens of sunny beaches, parascending, diving and snorkelling. Few other countries pack such an array of delights into such a small space."
