Greece: Athens and Crete by plane, tailor-made including beach holiday

Athens is the capital of Greece and the country's political, cultural and economic centre. With a history beginning three thousand years ago, Athens is a city filled with archaeological sites, monuments, sculptures and even buildings from the Roman and Byzantine eras. Places of interest here include the Port of Piraeus, Syntagma Square, the National Garden, Monastiraki Square and, if you can spare between eight and fifteen euros to visit some of Athens' tourist attractions, we highly recommend visiting the Ancient Agora, the Choragic Monument of Lysicrates, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the Acropolis and Kerameikos.

And, finally, complete your trip by enjoying Crete, Greece's biggest island. If we had to think of the colours that represent Crete, the intense blue of its skies and waters and the white of its monasteries and fine-sand beaches would undoubtedly spring to mind. The island boasts one thousand kilometres of white-sand coastline and inaccessible beaches on the Mediterranean Sea. Crete smells of earth and sun, of olives and fresh vegetables, of Rakı and the sea.
