Greece
Few countries are so adept at seduction as Greece. Crete and Santorini mix lose-yourself old towns with stunning scenery – for proof, check out sunset over Santorini’s caldera or walk through Crete’s Agia Irini gorge. Elsewhere, the unique blend of landscape and man-made marvels reaches its peak in the monasteries of the Lousios Valley and Meteora, where the buildings sit impossibly atop soaring pinnacles. And in a country that glories in its myths, sights like Mycenae and Delphi are essential stuff, the latter perched on Mount Parnassos overlooking the Gulf of Corinth. And don’t forget the Acropolis – nobody who visits it ever does.

Crete & Santorini Explorer
Sue & Steve - Australia, 8 Apr, 2012
Places selected were fantastic - views, sights and walks were all very enjoyable. Only slight negative was the 2 hotels in Crete and Santorini were not quite in the towns' centres, which only became an issue due to the not so good weather - rained a lot in Crete.
