Dreaming of the Greek Islands! Corfu

GREECE is one of the sunniest places in the world, with a coastline of 16,000 kilometers. It is home to more archaeological museums than any other country in the world and offers plenty of ancient history, amazing cuisine, culture stimulation, incredible breath-taking beaches, sunny weather, and warm hospitality. Athens, the largest city has a lot to offer but when it comes to a relaxing vacation even the residents of Athen head to one of the Greek Islands to relax and de-stress. For those that love theater, we have the Greeks to thank. The Ancient Greeks invented the theater including comedy, tragedy, and satire genres. Originally called Hellas, the country known for its Gods and Goddesses; Zeus, Poseidon, Hermes, Hera, Hades, Dionysus, Demeter, Apollo, Ares, Artemis, Athena, Aphrodite and more draws millions of visitors from around the globe. Everyone should visit Greece at least once in their lifetime.  To enjoy the perfect Greek vacation fly or take a ferry to your island of choice
