Greece

Greece is not only the birthplace of Democracy, Theater, Philosophy, and the Olympic Games but also of those wondrous myths and legends of gods and heroes that are so embedded in our subconscious. With its poignant beauty and millennial history, this country exerts an irresistible attraction; even the restless, global nomad Odysseus ultimately longed to return to his beloved island of Ithaca.

Greece stands out as a sublime sailing destination. With the longest coastline in Europe and a staggering 6,000 islands—only 200 of which are inhabited—this Mediterranean jewel offers an unparalleled maritime experience. Each archipelago has its own unique characteristics, from the chic, partying Cyclades dotted with whitewashed houses and cerulean church domes and the architecturally rich Ionian islands to the beach-strewn Dodecanese and the lush, hiking-friendly Sporades. Athens is the epitome of classical antiquity, yet it pulsates with modern vibrancy and multicultural flair seamlessly blending art and archaeology with a sophisticated culinary scene that uses the best ingredients from land and sea. The Peloponnese, the cradle of Greek civilization, captivates with its rugged, almost lunar landscape and legendary seas. Here, as in many parts of the country, echoes of the past are intricately woven into the daily lives of its inhabitants.
