And we must not forget that it is one of the oldest civilizations in the world. But this country bathed by the waters of the Mediterranean Sea, the Aegean and the Ionian Sea, is much more than that. Thus, in Greece you will enjoy a super pleasant climate practically all year round; a great natural diversity, being able to find both mountain and coastal landscapes; an exquisite gastronomy; numerous tourist attractions, which are accessible and affordable; lots of partying; and very friendly people.

Without a doubt, one of the best things you can do in this European country is lose yourself in its beautiful towns . That is why today at Vuela Viajes we are going to talk to you about the most beautiful ones. Would you like to join us?
