Greece is a blessed country. With more than 10,000 miles of coastline and some 1,500 islands, Greece caters for all tastes.

A perfect holiday destination for water-lovers and sun-worshippers. The ideal sailing ground for yachtsmen. Ultimately glamorous for fans of a vivid night-life for which the Greeks hold a tradition. It is a country of white-washed houses, colourful fishing – boats, sandy beaches, crystal-clear waters, olive groves, waterside taverns and a cultural paradise offering numerous classical attractions.

Travel to Greece and enjoy the privacy of a small stony cove with a few overhanging pine trees or walk around the ruins of an ancient town. Indulge in the pleasures of a Greek meal served in candle light under a star-filled sky. Drink the sparkling wine that will elevate your spirit and help you relax. Relish the excellent traditional cooking in one of the less obvious restaurants that your captain will suggest. Sample some of the finest fruits and vegetables in the world.

Greece is one of the few countries of the world where life goes on right through the night. Some of the islands have a reputation for their night life, with discos and bars frequented by international celebrities. Live it up, drinking and dancing until the light of daw.

Map of Greece         By Lord Byron
The isles of Greece, the isles of Greece!
Where burning Sappho loved and sung,
Where grew the arts of war and peace,
Where Delos rose, and Phoebus sprung!
Eternal summer gilds them yet,
But all, except their sun, is set...
(Lord Byron fought for the Greek Independence in 1821 and died in Greece in 1824)
