Set in southeastern Europe and boasting thousands of breathtaking islands in the Aegean and Ionic Seas, Greece is a country that remains virtually unrivalled in the sheer volume and diversity of its historical and cultural repertoire. For centuries visitors have been drawn to the country's spectacular natural landscapes and rich archaeological sites, which contain the relics of four millennia of ancient culture. Greece's islands are arguably its biggest drawcard, from the bustling nightlife of Mykonos to the breathtaking sunsets of Santorini and exquisite turquoise waters everywhere you look. Must-see heritage attractions include the numerous ancient structures of Athens, Meteora Monasteries, one of the world's most remarkable ecclesiastical sites, the towering Mount Olympus, home of the gods, and ofcourse Delphi, Greece's most sacred site where the oracle once answered important questions in the temple of Apollo.
Euboea, also known as Evia, is the second largest Greek island after Crete, lying just off the country’s central eastern coast. Boasting phenomenal powdery beaches lapped by azure waters, a massive wealth of centuries-old sites, and a unique and rich cultural diversity, the island provides an idyllic and interesting holiday destination. Euboea is home to some truly wonderful natural scenery, with a coastline of gorgeous sparkling Aegean coves and an interior of lush forests, mountains and rivers. Edipsos, in the north, is the most renowned spa town in Greece with its lovely curative natural hot springs and range of healing centres. The range of heritage attractions includes numerous incredible museums, fascinating megalithic ruins, and ancient sacred sites. With a history of Greek, Turkish and Albanian occupation, the island’s villages have a complex heritage and interesting local dialects.
