Sights of Greece
 
From marbled ruins and whitewashed buildings to the postcard-worthy landscapes and stunning seascapes, there's no shortage of breathtaking scenery found throughout Greece. Gaze upon the towering Monasteries of Meteora perched precariously atop ancient boulders overlooking the distant valleys and villages below. Admire the iconic Cycladic homes and sky-blue domes contrasting beautifully against the ocean's cerulean hues. Explore the ancient ruins of the Acropolis and the many Doric columns and glittering marble monuments that dominate Athens' skyline. Go beyond to discover rolling mountains, lush greenery, and expansive coastlines; a nature lover's heaven on Earth.
 
 
Flavors of Greece
 
Taste your way through this appetizing country full of bright flavors, mouth-watering sweets, and seafood fresh from the Mediterranean and Aegean Seas. Savor the creamy texture of delicious feta cheese paired with crisp tomatoes, olives, and cucumbers found in a traditional Greek salad, a must-have with almost every meal. Satisfy your taste buds with spanakopita, little pockets of spinach and feta baked until golden crispy perfection, and dive into moussaka, a dish so irresistible, it has become a popular food around the world. Top off your savory culinary experience with a warm cup of ellinikos, Greek coffee, paired with a delectable dessert of baklava, a flaky crusted pastry saturated with sweet syrup, or the sinfully-indulgent galatoboureko, a traditional custard-filled pastry.
 
 
Sounds of Greece
 
Close your eyes and let the sounds heard throughout Greece captivate you, from the harmonious chimes that float through the air from the many churches to the ocean's waves crashing against the shoreline. Listen for the continuous steps of locals and mules' hooves clattering along the winding walkways set against steep cliffs. In the summer, let the sweet melody of cicadas serenade you through the evening.
