If Greece is not on your bucket list then do you really have a bucket list? Greece is celebrated for its ancient heritage like the Acropolis and the ruins of Olympia in Athens. Hop on a ferry to the island of Crete, home to Theseus who slew the Minotaur, or the island of Santorini, which is rumoured to be the origin of the Lost City of Atlantis. Stunning beaches, pristine water, and lively towns are common to all 6000 islands in Greece, making these islands perfect for your Summer adventure.
