You hear the word ‘Greece’, and you are instantly transported to a scene of jaw-dropping sunsets, white-washed buildings and pristine beaches all fronted by the impeccably beautiful Mediterranean Sea. Alternatively, perhaps for you, Greece’s ancient history, sun-bleached historical ruins and socially-spirited locals spring to mind. The beauty of Greece is that it is everyone’s perfect destination.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As the wise proverb goes ‘<\/span>a full stomach makes a happy heart<\/span><\/i>‘, Greeks certainly abide by this. The core of Greek cuisine sits in over 4,000 years of time-honoured recipes, fresh local ingredients and a twist on the Mediterranean palette. Olive oil is the essential condiment, accompaniment and base to regional dishes throughout the country. However, it’s the variation of each region’s recipes, cooking styles and local produce that make travelling Greece a culinary adventure. Influenced by its Mediterranean counterparts, Greek cuisine takes the best parts of the land and sea to deliver a delicious array of dishes which often form the backbone of your trip.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The best Greece itinerary, 7 days or longer, is sure to have you stepping foot on one of the country’s 227 inhabited islands. Whether you’re looking to hike up dormant volcanoes, wander through cobblestone old town streets and ramble through olive groves and vineyards, the Greek isles deliver. That’s before you’ve stepped foot on one of the pristine, white-sand beaches fringed by spectacularly clear waters. Dedicated beach bums, keen thrill-seekers and history buffs will all find contentment on the islands.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For an alternative 7-day trip to Greece, stick to the mainland and you’ll discover that the roots of western civilisation were planted in Greece. Marvel at the monasteries reached by rock-hewn steps atop towering monoliths, step into the very ring where the first Olympians competed and marvel at the grandiosity of Delphi. While many will rush to the islands on their 7-day trip to Greece, there’s much to be discovered on a Greece mainland itinerary.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever takes your fancy, you can combine in all to <\/span>create your perfect trip to Greece<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
