Outdoor adventurers can trek the dramatic Víkos and Loúsios gorges and climb the craggy peaks of Mount Olympos.
Kissed by three seas and stretching from the barren peaks of the northern Pindos to the sunny vineyards of Attica and the Peloponnese, the rural landscapes of Mainland Greece are stunningly diverse.
But it\'s not all about the cities.
Meanwhile Thessaloniki, Greece\'s second city, seduces visitors with its array of Byzantine churches and vibrant contemporary art scene.
Take Europe\'s oldest city, for example: Athens has a youthful vibe and buzzing nightlife, where upmarket restaurants stand alongside traditional grill eateries and old-school ouzeris jostle with the trendy cocktail bars of up-and-coming urban neighborhoods.
