Greece

Greece is a permanent favorite among beach destinations with a very simple recipe for its success: The turquoise sea, guaranteed sunshine, beautiful nature and delicious Greek food attract tourists over and over again.

City holidays can easily be combined with beach holidays, since the biggest cities, Athens and Thessaloniki, are located right by the sea.
