1. The Hospitable People
Greek hospitality is legendary. The roots of hospitality live deep in the hearts of the Greek people. The Greek word for hospitality, “philoxenia”, literally translates as “friend to a stranger” and refers to the act of welcoming and caring for a stranger in one’s home. For the ancient Greeks, it was an institution and an act of virtue to welcome and care for strangers in their home as they thought they were sent by the gods. Hospitality remains an important value for Greeks. Adapted to the modern way of living, it still exists when they happily open their homes and invite foreigners to a treat. The famous Greek hospitality will make you feel welcome wherever you go.
2. The Mouth-Watering Food
The Greek cuisine alone is enough for someone to visit Greece. Greek cuisine has a strong base in the Mediterranean diet, which many nutritionists promote as they consider it rich in nutrients. In addition, they believe that the Mediterranean diet is the key to longevity.
The most characteristic and integral element of Greek cuisine is olive oil, which is used in most dishes. Greek olive oil and olives are world renowned and there are many varieties to try. Tavernas and some restaurants are among the main venues serving traditional Greek dishes for locals and visitors. Some traditional Greek foods, especially souvlaki and pita with gyros are often served in street food style.
Eating in Greece is intertwined with good company and discussion, and for this reason it is considered an important part of the everyday life of the Greeks. There are many types of eateries in Greece. Some Greek dishes are very well-known and are served in restaurants throughout the world.
3. The Awesome Drinks
Greek wine is so delicious! The country has a lot of good wines, with Assyric,
Retsina, Agiorgitiko and Vinsanto varieties that stand out. The diversity of the Greek landscape explains why Greek wines have extremely distinct characteristics. Greek red wines have been greatly improved while characterizing the volcanic island of Santorini as the most important wine-producing site in Greek territory. Robola is often touted as Greece’s second noblest grapes. Robola is a white grape variety grown mainly in the Ionian islands, although it is strongly associated with the island of Kefalonia where its best expressions can be found.
Greece may produce many drinks, but ouzo is the most famous and worth a try. This powerful, licorice-flavored Greek spirit is served before meals with a glass of water. Of the many authentically Greek experiences, one of the most enjoyable is drinking ouzo and eating mezedes with friends at a seaside on the Greek islands. Potent raki and tsipouro, moonshine born from the remnants of winemaking, are popular on the mainland and the Peloponnese. Say “yamas” which is the Greek equivalent to “cheers” before drinking.
4. The Coffee Culture
For most Greeks, drinking coffee is a favorite habit, a necessary daily ritual. It is their first-morning thought, the occasion to meet their friends, their essential companion. Coffee retains its appeal to people of all ages. Every Greek home is a manifestation of the hospitable mood and that is why it always accompanies the traditional treat. The Greeks created a whole culture associated with the consumption of coffee, which results from the general way of life and thinking of people in Greece. It is characteristic that a cup of the delicious dark drink, whose aroma seduces the senses, is not a five-minute break during the day, but rather a long stop for rest and a sense of communication. Each type of coffee has its place, time and social dimension.
Coffee lovers will find several options, including the strong, sweet sludge that is Greek coffee, the instant coffee referred to as “Ness”, as in Nescafé, or frappé, the frosty iced coffee that takes the edge off the heat in the summer.
5. The Remarkable History
The perfectly proportioned columns of the Parthenon, combined with the sun’s beating rays and the brilliant gleam of marble, conjure up the same awe they inspired in centuries of worshippers. At Cape Sounion, the seaside temple of Poseidon sits on a 60-meter promontory overlooking the Aegean. If you catch the floating island of Delos, the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, you will find an island-wide archaeological site. A voyage through the Peloponnese will take you back to the era of nymphs, satyrs, and gods in disguise. Sprint across the well-preserved stadium on the way to the original Olympic fields at Ancient Olympia, wander through watery, fresco-covered tunnels at Corinth, peer into Agamemnon’s tomb at Mycenae, or cry over an ancient tragedy in the ancient Theater of Epidaurus. Byzantine times stand still in the sight of Mystras, the former center of Constantinople’s rule in the Peloponnese.
The Greek islands have long been a sun worshippers paradise. Besides the heavenly sands and turquoise waters, the islands offer ancient sites, intriguing museums, and peaceful small-town life. In the Aegean, Santorini’s black sand beaches soak up the sun’s hot rays and stay warm long after the stunning sunsets.

The climate varies significantly between regions of Greece despite the country’s relatively small size. Southern islands like Santorini can be exceedingly hot and dry while the lush Ionians are cooler and received more rainfall. High altitude areas are cooler, and snow remains on some mountaintops through summer. For the most part, summer is sunny, hot, and dry. In winter, temperatures vacillate around 50˚F (10°C), and snow occasionally falls as far south as Athens. The rainy season is between October to March.
