Greece
Having exported chaos, drama, tragedy and
democracy before most nations stayed up late enough to want
souvlaki, Greece boasts an unrivalled legacy. But don't expect
a visit there to be a sober study of the ancient world - the
Greek propensity for partying dates back to Dionysus.
From smoggy Athens to blindingly bright islands, ancient
fragments abound - the belly button of the cosmos at Delphi,
fallen columns galore on the sacred island of Delos, frescoed
Minoan palaces on Crete and even, quite possibly, the remnants
of Atlantis at Santorini.
Greeks are fierce guardians of tradition, but that doesn't
mean they don't know how to have fun. In addition, hot sun
and limpid seas conspire to make Greece a perfect place to
relax. Whether you're supping in a beachside taverna, sipping
coffee in a shady plateia or disco-dancing till dawn, chances
are the gods already have you ensnared.
