GREECE
The Olympic Games were spawned in ancient classical Greece, along with
democracy and the fundamentals of philosophy, science and mathematics.
Modern Greece is better known as a great place to vacation rather than
a centre of learning and culture. Today the country attracts by offering
simple pleasures: delicious food at reasonable prices, local wine, beautiful
beaches, sunshine, quaint villages, a seemingly endless lacework of coastline
and little islands full of scenic surprises. What better way to find your
holiday villa or apartment then with Property Concept Rental, exchange
or Swapping.
The country exudes traditional charm, particularly on its ever-popular
islands, which cling to their stereotypical architecture and way of life
despite being often over-run by tourists. Black-clad women still deliver
vegetables to island taverns on panniered donkeys, while bronzed, lined
fishermen sit in the sun, drink thick coffee, and play dominoes or dice.
The tourist infrastructure has intruded in many respects, but the timeless
aspect of whitewashed buildings clustered on hillsides around narrow pebbled
alleys has been retained. The myriad islands in the Aegean Sea are easily
accessible from Piraeus, the historic harbour of Greece's mainland capital,
Athens, by ferry or hydrofoil, offering a unique chance for 'island-hopping'.
Many of the larger islands also have airports with connections to Athens
or seasonally with major European cities.
Greece and Greeks welcome with open arms the thousands of visitors that
flock to admire their national assets every year - no-one leaves without
having been warmed, both by the sun and the hospitality.
