Greece
Ancient temples, whitewashed island villages and long, lazy summers: Greece packs the roots of Europe into mountains, mainland ruins and hundreds of islands.
Before you plan: Ferry timetables and some archaeological sites change by season or because of strikes and wildfire risk in summer, so check official sources before you travel.
