About Greece:

Greece, a crossroads of cultures, colours and civilizations.  A country that although statistically small, is huge in its diversity.

 A landscape that has given us thousands of postcard images but remains incredibly vibrant and impossible to capture. What's more, Greece has an immensely rich culture and heritage.

 A country of beautiful contradictions, a constant journey in time, from the present to the past and back again.

The Greek coast has a total length of approximately 16,000 km.  Half of this length is found around the 6.000 Greek island and islets scattered in the Aegean and Ionian Sea, a truly unique phenomenon on the European continent; of these islands only 227 are inhabited.

What characterizes the famous Greek coasts is their unique diversity beaches stretching over many kilometers, small bays and coves, sandy beaches with dunes, pebbly shores, coastal caves surrounded by steep rocks and with the characteristic dark sand of volcanic soils, coastal wetlands, and not forgetting their clean and transparent waters that have made them renowned and extremely popular all over the world.

In 2006, 404 beaches and 5 marinas in Greece were awarded the "Blue Flag" a figure that places the country in a top-ranking position among other European countries.  The majority of the Greek coasts are freely accessible and you have the opportunity to discover and enjoy them without the presence of large number of swimmers.  

The islands boast of unique archaeological sites, an outstanding architectural heritage, fascinating local traditions of a multifaceted cultural past. All the above, combined with the ideal climate, the safety of Greek waters and the short distances between ports and coasts have rendered the Greek islands extremely popular among Greek and foreign visitors.
