Greece boasts a temperate Mediterranean climate, sparkling blue waters and picturesque beaches, making it a popular destination for holidaymakers throughout the world. With 17 UNESCO sites and a number of important archaeological and historical sites, it is an area of rich heritage. The concept of democracy, the Olympic Games, many important scientific and mathematical principles, and Western literature and drama all originated in here. In fact, Greece, which traces its origins back to ancient times, is often dubbed the “cradle of Western civilisation.”
