Greece

Greece is characterized by its vast amount of islands and the role the country played in the history of Europe. Because Greece is divided into thousands of islands and some mainland, it has a very long coastline with many beaches. Along the coast you will also find important sites of significance. If you move further land inwards you will only then find the untouched Greek nature.

Flora and fauna

Throughout the year you can find plenty of flowering plants and trees in Greece. This is partly due to the relatively warm climate. This is also the reason that there’s a lower amount of mammals on land and more other animal species. Examples of these are the tortoise, the chameleon, the stellagama and a range of bird and insect species. In the waters surrounding the Greek islands you can also come across a variety of marine animals such as dolphins, swordfish, tuna, squid and mackerel.

Activities

Due to the wonderful climate Greece mainly has tourists who come for the sun, the sea and the beach. Greece has much more to offer than just that. Whoever has been in this country before can surely agree that Greece has a breathing history. Scattered throughout the country you can still find many remnants of antiquity. Who doesn’t know the Acropolis of Athens or the walled old city of Rhodes?
