OVERVIEW

From the Cycladic period of the Bronze Age through to the European Union of today, Greece has such a rich history that it is considered the Cradle of Western Civilization.
Easter is the best time to enjoy the birthplace of democracy, Western philosophy, literature and drama, the Olympic Games and major scientific and mathematical principles. As you experience daily Greek life, wine and food during the Orthodox Easter week (which coincides this year with the Catholic Easter week) you will collect wonderful, lasting memories.
