Greek Winter Holiday Package
Athens is a city of different aspects. Today's visitors to Greece have the opportunity to trace the "fingerprints" of Greek history from the Paleolithic Era to the Roman Period in the hundreds of archaeological sites, as well as in the archaeological museums and collections that are scattered throughout the country. The capital is also famous, more than any other European capital, for its nightlife. The options for entertainment satisfy all tastes. On the other hand Thessaloniki is Greece's "second city" built near the sea at the back of the Thermaikos Gulf. It is a busy port city that boasts an attractive waterfront promenade, beautiful parks, and many museums. Home of Alexander the Great and the heart of the ancient Hellenistic empire, the city is also the site of a rich Roman heritage and the finest collection of Byzantine churches in Greece. Traces of a centuries-old and important history are etched in every corner of Greek land. Let it enchant you.
