That is what makes a holiday in Greece so special
Greece is a country of variety and, for good reason, one of Europe’s most popular holiday destinations. Active holidaymakers get their money’s worth here just as much as those seeking relaxation: the many excellent beaches invite you to swim and sunbathe, the underwater world to dive, and the mountains and surrounding nature to climb, cycle and stroll. Thanks to the warm Mediterranean climate, even all year round. Added to this are the exciting history and delicious cuisine – an overall experience that leaves nothing to be desired.
Experience Greece - sun, sea & moussaka
Greece is like a feeling: warm sun on your skin, the sound of the sea in your ears and the scent of herbs hanging in the air. From the lively bustle of Athens to secluded bays on the islands and the white houses of the Cyclades – here history merges with joie de vivre, nature and enjoyment into a holiday you will never forget.
Athens – where history comes to life
Athens is not just a huge museum, it is a real adventure. Between ancient ruins, colourful markets and modern cafés, life pulses on. The Acropolis stands majestically above the city, while history and the present meet in the streets of Plaka and Monastiraki. Anyone booking a hotel here is right in the thick of it: small boutiques, creative bars and hidden rooftops invite you to explore.
Beaches that make you long for the sea
Greece's coastlines are a dream of sand, sun and turquoise-blue water – surrounded by no fewer than three seas: the Ionian Sea to the west, the Aegean Sea to the east and south, and the open Mediterranean to the south of the Peloponnes. Here everyone finds their own piece of paradise: long sandy beaches, hidden coves or dramatic cliffs. Stroll barefoot along the beach in the morning, enjoy fresh fish straight from the taverna at lunchtime, and watch the sunset over the water in the evening – that's what a holiday in Greece feels like.
Cyclades islands – postcard idyll meets adventure
White houses, blue domes, narrow streets leading to hidden squares – the Cyclades are the image we have in our minds when we think of Greece. Santorini, Mykonos or Naxos are world-famous, but each island has its own soul: small tavernas, hidden coves, endless photo opportunities. Island hopping here is like a treasure hunt – ever new views, ever new adventures.
Syros – the elegant surprise of the Cyclades
Syros is the perfect blend of charm, culture and tranquillity. The capital Ermoupoli shines with neoclassical architecture, lively squares and a harbour that looks almost straight out of a film. At the same time, the island offers quiet beaches, idyllic coves and authentic villages away from the main tourist crowds. Syros is ideal for anyone wanting to combine culture, beach and genuine Cyclades flair in one holiday.
Enjoyment for all the senses
Greek cuisine is as colourful as the country itself. Fresh fish and seafood, moussaka, souvlaki, crunchy salads, aromatic olives – and with it a glass of wine or ouzo. If you have a sweet tooth, don’t miss baklava or the fluffy loukoumades. Eating in Greece is not a chore, it is an experience.
Best time to travel and easy access
Spring and autumn are perfect for city breaks, hikes and cultural discoveries – mild, sunny and not overcrowded. If you are looking for sun, beach and sea, go in summer. Greece is easy to reach: Athens as an international hub, ferries to the islands, small domestic flights and hire cars for the islands make the country easy to explore.
