Bordered by Albania, Macedonia, Bulgaria and Turkey, Greece is right at the edge of Europe tipping almost into the Asian continent with many of its islands far closer to Turkey than mainland Greece. So for the lucky tourists holidaying in Greece, many influences abound creates a country that has established European roots with a hint of Asian influence.
To explore the beauty and diversity of the Greek islands is one of the reasons why many people come to Greece. With hundreds of islands contained within seven island groups, there are lots to get around but do not worry if you feel you are missing out by not being on a certain island. You will almost certainly find what you are looking for whether you stay on one or, as many backpackers do, hop around the islands on a whim.
The main islands of Greece are Rhodes, Crete, Corfu, and Santorini, but if you don't want to follow the crowds, try Hydra where no cars are allowed, Kasos with its craggy peaks or Skyros that has a 13th century fortress.
Athens is of course the main city of Greece being the capital, but there are many other delights of mainland Greece to be savoured. Thessaloniki, the second largest city in Greece, has a distinct character of its own with an ancient Turkish quarter and many museums.
