I have to say, “Oh my wonderful Greece!!” . I just love anything Greek. Well.. especially there literature. Have you heard of Hercules? Oedipus? My God! They are the coolest among the Greek literature figure. How I dreamed of this all my life… of stepping on Grecian soil. The land of my favorite heroes. How I daydreamed of all those God and Goddesses they have. This is definitely an ultimate dream come true. Now, I am staying in one of the beautiful island of Crete, Greece receiving cousins and family every Christmas and holidays.

Greece is a country in the Balkan Peninsula on its southernmost tip located in Southern Europe. This country is also famous on its famous contribution in arts, philosophy, sports and including the Olympics.

If you came from a country that is a member of the European Economic Area and European Union, then a visa is not an urgent need for you may enter Greece using your national valid identification. Countries like Spain, Portugal, Sweden, France, etc.

You can arrive in Greece by plane and ferry. If you are from Italy, then a ferry leaves on a daily basis from your place to Greece. The nation’s flag carrier- Olympic Airlines can transport you from the different cities of Europe, Southeast Asia, Middle East and North America to Eleftherios Venizelos Internationa Airport in Athens – Greece’s main hub and the largest international airport in Greece.

From Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport, Athens it would take only an hour of plane ride. And if you take a day ferry it will take only six to nine hours. You will really love the towns in this place like the the Heraklion and Rethymnon. You will see infrastructures like the St. Catherine’s church and the Fortezza. Beaches also abound in this area complemented with the caves that are connected with Greek mythology (Diktaeon andron cave).

I thanked my lucky star for the books that I have read during my high school days because they gave me the inspiration, the drive to really fulfill my dream of staying in Greece. With the advent of computers and internet I saw Greece the very first time with all its color and splendor. With this thought in mind I didn’t rush things up and buy a house in Greece. Instead, I took a bite of Greece’s tourism and find it wonderful to my taste. I then tasted Greece’s lifestyle and stayed in the Island of Crete renting a self-catering villa for a year. After then, I found it to my taste and decided to process my paper with a help of a lawyer friend. This is all because of Greek mythology and History that I read way back home in New York and in the internet.

If you’re having trouble deciding where to take your Greek holiday - where the best sun, sea and surf is, why not do as the Spanish so and take one of the cruceros Islas Griegas? This way you get to experience the best of every world and really make the most of your holiday - what better way to see Greece than approaching via a stunning cruise ship?
