Location : Southern Europe, bordering the Aegean Sea, Ionian Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea, between Albania and Turkey; a peninsular country, possessing an archipelago of about 2,000 islands

Tourism : Greece now attracts over 12 million visitors a year which is more than its total population. Tourism has become a lifeline for residents of rural and remote-island communities.

Attractions :-

The main attraction is the impressive sunshine record and the beaches. With over 13,000 Km of coastline there are beaches to suit everyone's tastes, from lively beaches with tavernas and watersports to deserted coves that can only be reached by boat.
History lovers are well catered for by the abundance of ancient sites which exist not just on the mainland but also on many of the islands. A weeks tour (self drive or escorted) of the archeological sites on the mainland visiting Athens, Olympia, Delphi, Meteora and Thessalonika coupled with a weeks stay on an island is a popular choice for those looking for more than just a fortnight in the sun.

Nightlife : Varies from a quiet evening relaxing in a remote taverna enjoying a bottle of Retsina to lively discos which continue until the early hours in many of the larger resorts.

Most Popular Destinations : The islands of Corfu, Crete, Kefalonia, Kos, Mykonos, Rhodes, Santorini and Zante attract over half of all tourists each year and all have international airports.
