There is so much waiting for you to see and do in Greece this year, that is, if you’re looking for a bucket-list destination to celebrate the return to travel.
Many of the best cities in Greece are located in stunning settings that are awe-inspiring. Other than the iconic Athens with its plethora of incredible historical sites, Greece has an enjoyable array of cities with some nestled among rocky hills with others overlooking the beautiful waters that surround the country. There are also so many islands to explore.
Saturated in history, Europe’s oldest capital – Athens – has a wealth of historic sites, still dominated by 5th-century BC landmarks, including the Acropolis. No trip to Greece is complete without a visit to the striking blue and white domes of Santorini or check out an island in the Cyclades group in the Aegean Sea – Mykonos – which is bursting with much more than its party atmosphere. Iconic landmarks include a row of 16th-century windmills, sitting on a hill above the town. Captivating Mykonos is ready to welcome Australians back to enjoy an unforgettable European summer.
There’s plenty of pent-up demand for the island’s unique blend of lively villages, beautiful beaches, authentic cultural experiences, warm hospitality and picture-perfect accommodation, and with direct flights resuming from Sydney to Mykonos via Doha, Australian visitors will once again be enjoying an iconic Mykonos sunset with a side of spanakopita in record time.
