Greece can truly be said to offer holidaymakers, whatever their interests, a holiday to remember with pleasure. Mainland Greece is eighty per cent mountainous with the mountains, in some cases, extending into the sea where their peaks create islands. There are over two thousand Greek islands many of which are uninhabited. Mainland Greece with its magnificent remains from the glorious Greek Empire will more than gratify the appetite of those interested in ancient history & archaeology. Those who enjoy walking and mountain climbing will find ample opportunities, particularly on the mainland, where they will find dense forests home to the endangered brown bear, as well as wild cats, goats and roe deer. There are an enormous number of beaches both on the mainland as well as the islands offering wide ranging facilities. Best time to visit Greece is in the summer.
