If you are going to visit Greece only for resting on the beach or walking around looking for sightseeings – that’s not right. While visiting Greece you should forget about hurry or bustle and enjoy every small detail around you – Greek food and wine, sea and sunsets, views of nature and communications with the locals, ancient constructions and silence, cozy restaurants, national music and fun.
Greece is considered a rather safe country, but nevertheless it’s recommended to follow the simple rules of staying in a foreign country. It’s better leave all the precious things at the hotel and attentively look after your bags at the crowded public markets and so on.
The major part of the local beaches is sandy, but you may also find some pebbly beaches, for example, on Lefkada Island. The beaches of mainland in general are noisier than the beaches you may find on the island, as there are lots of small cozy bays and the sea there is much calmer.
The most popular souvenirs to bring home from Greece are olive oil, fur coats and wares, variously cooked olives, local spices, silver and golden jewelry, marble statuettes and vases and so on.
In few words – Greece is the “must-visit” country for all the Ancient Greek history lovers and for those who finds pleasure in the picturesque views of nature and its dwellers. There are so many things to visit that are spread all over the country, so that it’s impossible to even try to include all of them in one vacation.
