Greece Tourism & Vacations 2015, Greece Trip 2015, Greece Travel Guide 2015 Travel Videos HD, World Travel Guide http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=World1Tube Greece is a country in Southern Europe, on the southernmost tip of the Balkan peninsula, with extensive coastlines and islands in the Aegean, Ionian, and Mediterranean Seas. It shares borders in the north with Albania, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), Bulgaria, and Turkey. It has an ancient culture that has had a significant influence on the arts, language, philosophy, politics, and sports of western society, including the genres of comedy and drama, western alphabets, Platonic ideals and the Socratic method, democracies and republics, and the Olympics. Furthermore it's a geographically appealing place to visit, with a mountainous mainland and idyllic island beaches. Cities in Greece ============= Athens — the capital city known for the Parthenon Chania — second largest city on Crete surrounded with beaches and the Samaria National Park Chersonissos — party capital of Crete in the summer Heraklion — Crete's largest city and main hub with the archaeological site of Knossos Patra — 3rd most populated city, known for its wines and carnival Larissa — the country's fourth largest city Rhodes — magnificent city with impressive medieval structures, nightlife and beaches Thessaloniki — the country's prime city in the Macedonia region Volos — coastal port city with nice museums and architecture Kavala - coastal port city with scenic old town See in Greece ============== Few countries can pride themselves on a heritage as important to Western civilization as Greece. A range of first class historic landmarks remind one of the days when the great Greek emperors and writers made their mark on the development of science, literature and democracy. No less than 17 of those monuments are listed as World Heritage Sites. However, the many charming little islands, sandy beaches and picturesque whitewashed coastal towns are at least as much a reason to come for the millions of tourists that this Mediterranean country receives each year. Islands in Greece ================== When it comes to Greece's famously gorgeous islands, it's hard to take your pick out of the 6000 options you have, 227 of them being inhabited. Their rocky coast lines, sandy beaches, charming villages, sheltered bays and many yacht harbours make them extremely popular among all kinds of travellers. The large island of Crete is a highly popular tourist destination, with landscapes varying from great sandy palm beaches to snow-covered high peaks and stunning river gorges and a good deal of night life in its main tourist towns. If you're looking to party at night, lovely Mykonos or Ios are good options too. The volcanic island of Santorini is one of the most romantic picks and offers some spectacular views. Its whitewashed capital of Fira is dramatically situated on the edge of a 400m high cliff, overlooking a beautiful blue lagoon. Other popular ones are Lesbos, Paros, Lefkada and Kos. The National Marine Park on Zakynthos is the primary nesting ground for loggerhead sea turtles in the Mediterranean. The rugged, green hills and valleys of Kefalonia boast a number of vineyards, and the island's cliffs and beautiful beaches make it a tourist hotspot. For a slightly more authentic and less touristy experience, try Syros, Amorgos or any of the other small and less developed islands.

Travel video about destination Greece. Although Greece is the home of ancient gods, birthplace of European civilisation and a country of great warriors and philosophers it is also a country of many islands with tiny villages and white houses, a deep blue sea and almost constant sunshine.Athens is a lively city set in historic surroundings. Unique among all other Greek temples is the Acropolis whose imposing appearance and artistic decoration signified the great influence and power of ancient Athens. Six female figures, the Karyatides, support the southern hall of the Ionic Temple of Erechtheion that stands on sacred ground close to the main temple. The imposing Mitrópolis is the main Greek Orthodox cathedral in Athens. A total of four architects designed this cathedral whose walls comprise the remains of no less than seventy former sacred buildings. The Cyclades Islands are situated in the middle of the Southern Aegean that like a magic circle flows around its former centre, the sacred island of Delos, Mykonos. For centuries this picturesque former pirate village in the middle of Cyclades group of islands has been the meeting place for artists, V.I.P.’s and the international glitterati. The Cyclades are also known as The Pearls Of Greece and it seems as though the gods have scattered a handful of beautiful pearls into the deep blue Aegean Sea. In ancient times they were also known as The Islands Of Light because Apollo, the God of Light and Learning, was born here and also worshipped on the islands. Santorini is the most southerly of the Cyclades Islands and the legendary location of the mythical lost island of Atlantis and also a breathtaking island paradise of rock, lava, sea and light.Crete is the ‘Island Of Light’ and the birthplace of Zeus. Heraklion is the capital of the largest and most southerly of the Greek islands on which a highly developed culture has existed for four thousand years. It’s no wonder that in these magnificent islands in the Aegean numerous gods, knights and tourists have always found much good fortune and enchantment!

Developing the Medical Tourism Industry in Greece by Takis Meletis, member of the Greek Medical Tourism Council ELITOUR and Vice President of Goldair Group.
Greece. Travel / Tourism. Greece officially the Hellenic Republic (Ελληνική Δημοκρατία and known since ancient times as Hellas, is a country in Southern Europe and Balkans. According to the 2011 census, Greece's population is around 11 million. Athens is the nation's capital and largest city. Greece is strategically located at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa. It shares land borders with Albania to the northwest, the Republic of Macedonia and Bulgaria to the north and Turkey to the northeast. The country consists of nine geographic regions: Macedonia, Central Greece, the Peloponnese, Thessaly, Epirus, the Aegean Islands (including the Dodecanese and Cyclades), Thrace, Crete, and the Ionian Islands. The Aegean Sea lies to the east of the mainland, the Ionian Sea to the west, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. Greece has the longest coastline on the Mediterranean Basin and the 11th longest coastline in the world at 13,676 km (8,498 mi) in length, featuring a vast number of islands (approximately 1,400, of which 227 are inhabited). Eighty percent of Greece consists of mountains, of which Mount Olympus is the highest, at 2,917 m (9,570 ft). Modern Greece traces its roots to the civilization of Ancient Greece, which began with the Aegean Civilizations of the Bronze Age. Considered the cradle of all Western civilization, Greece is the birthplace of democracy, Western philosophy, the Olympic Games, Western literature and historiography, political science, major scientific and mathematical principles and Western drama including both tragedy and comedy. The cultural and technological achievements of Greece greatly influenced the world, with many aspects of Greek civilization being imparted to the East through Alexander the Great's campaigns, and to the West through its incorporation into the Roman Empire. This rich legacy is partly reflected by the 17 UNESCO World Heritage Sites located in Greece, ranking it 6th in Europe and 13th in the world. The modern Greek state, which comprises most of the historical core of Greek civilization, was established in 1830 following the war of independence from the Ottoman Empire. Greece is a democratic and developed country with an advanced high-income economy, a high quality of life and a very high standard of living. A founding member of the United Nations, Greece was the 10th member to join the European Communities (precursor to the European Union) and has been part of the Eurozone since 2001. The nation is also a member of numerous other international institutions including the Council of Europe, NATO[a], OECD, OSCE and the WTO. Greece, which is one of Europe's largest shipping powers, has the largest economy in the Balkan Peninsula where Greece is an important regional investor; its economy is also the ninth largest in the Eurozone and the 43rd in the world. An important percentage of Greece's national income comes from tourism. All images are either in the Public Domain or on Google images labeled for reuse.

http://bestflights.co.za/europe/greece/santorini Colorful! Spectacular! Beautiful! Romantic! This is some of the words that best describes the island of Santorini. The islands is a result of a massive volcanic eruption that happened 3600 years ago. Even though Santorini has a violent origin it has the most majestic landscape, spectacular sunsets and great wines that lure tourists all over the world. Santorini is one of the great natural wonders of the world, and its main attraction is the landscape and seascape of the island itself. Santorini's primary industry is tourism, particularly in the summer months. Santorini is well-known for its low-lying cubical houses, made of local stone and whitewashed or lime-washed with various volcanic ashes used as colours. The island is popular for its legendary sunsets, which is some of the most spectacular in the world. Santorini ranks among top destinations for wedding celebrations for at least 4 years - primarily for sunset and peace. The landscape such as the blue sky, the little white houses perched on gigantic rocks on hills that plummet to the sea, the lemon and orange groves, the pink and white churches that look like pastry cakes and the faces and warmth and expressiveness of the Greek people makes the island a popular tourist destination. The best time to visit Santorini is from June to September since it is when almost all events and festivals occur. During these months, the weather is great for a swim and staying on the beach. Spoil yourself with a vacation to Santorini and enjoy the beautiful, colourful and spectacular atmosphere with a splash of romance.

Check also - http://www.facebook.com/SimioniucAdrianIulianModel Meteora is wonderful place( unique and unbelievable) where you can find 6 monasteries , 4 inhibited by men and 2 inhibited by women. The closest city is Kalambaka at just 5 km where you can find some hotels but the prices are pretty high , I suggest you to get accomodation in Larissa(100km away) or in Thessaloniki(250km away) , Meteora is a 1 day destination because if you follow to main road you can visit all monasteries in just few hours. You can visit here also a cave. The Meteora means , 'middle of the sky','suspended in air'or 'in the heavens above' etymologically related with "Meteorite" is one of the largest and most important complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries in Greece,second only to Mount Athos. The six monasteries are built on natural sandstone rock pillars,on the plane of Thessaly near the Pindus mountains in central Greece You have 2 ways to get at Meteora , first is From Thessaloniki but you have to drive 250km and the second is from larissa and you have to drive just 100km or you can take a bus from a travel agency. About accommodation tell u that it is pretty bad and expensive , people usually come here to stay 1 night or maxim 2 because following the main road you can visit all monasteries in just 1 day Meteora is a place where you can find 6 monasteries 4 inhibited by man and 2 inhinited by women. As you can see to get here is not easy so take care. And finnaly when you get to the monastery you have to pay a tax to visit it In the 14th during the Ottoman invasion the monks decided to build new monasteries right on the pick, the only safe place in the period of time Here were 24 active monestries Kalambaka is the closest city situated at just 5km People started to live here thousands of years ago but in 9 century a group of monks move up to this nice place. Meteora is a place where natural and man made wonders are linked makeing this place unique. The Holy Monastery of Grand Meteoron is the largest of the monasteries located at Meteora. It was elected in the mid-14th century and the building serves as the main museum for tourists The holy monastery of Varlaam is the second largest monastery in the Meteora complex.It was built in 1541 and it is dedicated to all Saints. The holy monastery of St.Stehen is a small church built in the 16th century.This monastery rests on the plain rather than on a cliff. it was damaged by the Nazis during WW2 who believed it was harbouring insurgents and was abandoned.Nuns took it over and Reconstructed it. The monastery of the Holy Trinity is on top of the cliffs and it was built in 1475. The holy Monastery of St.Barbara was founded in the middle of 16th century. http://youtu.be/5oGkqUul4xE

World Travel https://www.youtube.com/user/World1Tube Greece Travel Guide http://bit.ly/19QqISc Shepherd Entertainment gives you the history of Corfu and takes you on a tour of the city's sites and attractions. Its visitors can enjoy the Halikiopoulos Lagoon, St. Mark fortress and the famous Vlacherna Monastery, which is the symbol of the Island. A castle of stones and earthworks stood in the place of the old fortress around the 5th century. It was fortified by the Byzantines who established their capital here as a protection from the attacks of the Vandals, the Goths and the Slavs. In the court, the Doric style pillared garrison church was built. The residential buildings were connected by an underground labyrinth. The walls on the seaside were made higher. In the 18th century, the buildings were surrounded by a wide water jump which is used as a port nowadays. A drawbridge spans the channel. From the esplanade, we can reach the castle using this bridge. The dungeons, the knights' rooms and the towers of the building surmounting the cliff are reminiscent of the fortress that was once impregnable even by the Turkish. The museum and the lapidary tell tales of old ages. Of course, we can't only see Byzantine mosaics but also frescoes and reliefs as reminiscences of the 400 years of Venetian rule. The lighthouse still helps the orientation of ships and the castle chapel is also in operation. The far side of the 5km promenade is occupied by the Kanoni Peninsula. The area between the two ports was the city of the ancient Kerkyra, the excavation of which has not yet been finished completely. The summer residency of the English governors was built on the nice little peninsula covered by rich vegetation. This is where Austrian Queen Elizabeth stayed when she was looking for a place to build her castle and this is where Philip, Duke of Edinburg was born who became the husband of Queen Elizabeth of England. The Halikiopoulos Lagoon can be found between the capital and Perama. The runway of the airport of Corfu was built on its bank. Here can be found the symbol of the island, the Vlacherna Monastery standing on a peninsula with the Pontikonissi or Mouse Island behind. Its white stairs among evergreens lead up to a small nunnery. Vlacherna and its surroundings is the most visited and photographed site on Corfu. The white washed belfry church can be accessed by a foot bridge. Thousands of visitors come to this place on a pilgrimage which is gripping in its simplicity. From the café with terrace on the top of the steep green hill, there's a magnificent view of the monastery and the every changing colors of the sea. The new fortress was built by the Venetians who gave it the obvious name St. Mark. The lion with wings can still be seen over the gate. Today, the base of the Greek navy can be found here. However, in the port, there are hardly any naval vessels. There are more ferries bringing tourists and cars from Bari Italy. By hydrofoil, the travel time can be reduced by 2/3. But travelling this way on a rolling sea is more like an extreme sport. The Byzantine museum can be found in the scenic Capielo district. It was established in the Panagia AntivouniotissaChurch built in the 15th century. Here, paintings and icons by famous artists such as -- Lombardos or Damascinos are exhibited. From the terrace of the marjia, we can view the Venetian port which is called Mandraki like in Cos and Rhodos. Instead of Venetian galleons, today, tourist ships gather here.

Has Ukraine emerged from the former Soviet Union to become the illicit sex tourism capital of Europe? The statistics speak for themselves... 60,000 prostitutes; 2,500 street children, making it a hub for child pornography; a third of the population in poverty; one of the fastest growing HIV rates in the world; and drug and alcohol abuse rates amongst the highest in eastern Europe. Video journalist Nick Lazaredes has been investigating Ukraine's underworld and the social problems it's causing. He also meets the people trying to stop the sex trade in the face of violence and lack of interest from the authorities. Broadcast on Dateline, SBS TV Australia on March 25th, 2010.

Greece Tourism Video, ancient greece, santorini greece Tourist Attractions in Greece Best Destinations in Greece Tourism in Greece Here are Top 10 Tourist Attractions in Greece. Enjoy! Travel video about destination Greece. Although Greece is the home of ancient gods, birthplace of European civilisation and a country of great warriors and philosophers it is also a country of many islands with tiny villages and white houses, a deep blue sea and almost constant sunshine.Athens is a lively city set in historic surroundings. Unique among all other Greek temples is the Acropolis whose imposing appearance and artistic decoration signified the great influence and power of ancient Athens. Six female figures, the Karyatides, support the southern hall of the Ionic Temple of Erechtheion that stands on sacred ground close to the main temple. The imposing Mitrópolis is the main Greek Orthodox cathedral in Athens. A total of four architects designed this cathedral whose walls comprise the remains of no less than seventy former sacred buildings. The Cyclades Islands are situated in the middle of the Southern Aegean that like a magic circle flows around its former centre, the sacred island of Delos, Mykonos. For centuries this picturesque former pirate village in the middle of Cyclades group of islands has been the meeting place for artists, V.I.P.’s and the international glitterati. The Cyclades are also known as The Pearls Of Greece and it seems as though the gods have scattered a handful of beautiful pearls into the deep blue Aegean Sea. In ancient times they were also known as The Islands Of Light because Apollo, the God of Light and Learning, was born here and also worshipped on the islands. Santorini is the most southerly of the Cyclades Islands and the legendary location of the mythical lost island of Atlantis and also a breathtaking island paradise of rock, lava, sea and light.Crete is the ‘Island Of Light’ and the birthplace of Zeus. Heraklion is the capital of the largest and most southerly of the Greek islands on which a highly developed culture has existed for four thousand years. It’s no wonder that in these magnificent islands in the Aegean numerous gods, knights and tourists have always found much good fortune and enchantment!
