Study Abroad Greece
Greece is one of the
world's most popular tourist destinations, ranking in the
world's top 20 countries. According to the greek Ministry of
Tourism, the nation received about 17 million visitors from January
to mid August 2007, a large number for a small country of 11
million. Visitors are drawn to the country's beaches and reliable
sunny summer weather, its nightlife, historical sites and natural
beauty.
Many first-time visitors arrive in Greece with specific
images in mind and are surprised to discover a country with such
regional and architectural diversity. The famous whitewashed
homes and charming blue-domed churches only characterize a specific
region of the country (the
Cyclades Islands). Architecture varies greatly from one region
to the next depending on the local history. Visitors will find
Neoclassical architecture in the cities of Ermoupolis and Nafplio,
Ottoman-influenced buildings in Grevená and Kozáni, whitewashed
Cycladic homes on the island of
Paros,
and pastel-colored baroque homes and churches on
Corfu.
The nation's terrain is just as varied as its architectural
heritage: idyllic beaches, towering mountain ranges, wine-producing
valleys, vast stretches of olive orchards in the south, and lush
forests in the north. Greece's historical sights are just as varied;
the country is filled with just as many medieval churches and
castles as classical ruins and temples.
