If you are looking for an incredibly unforgettable vacation Greece is just the place. Greece brings to mind comedy, drama, tragedy and chaos, and those are just the ancient playwrights. If you would like more to your vacation than studying the beginnings of philosophy, theater and architecture, then why not party with Dionysus (Greed God of wine). Try to plan your Grecian vacation between April and mid-June if you would like to enjoy fewer crowds on the beaches and cheaper accommodations. Mid-June until the end of August is the peak season in Greece, and most of Europe, but it winds down once again in September until mid-October. Greece is the world's top 20 most popular tourist destinations. The nation received over 16 million visitors in the year 2005. The official language is Greek, but both English and French are common languages spoken. The major cities are Athens, Thessaloniki, Patra, Kalamata, Ioannina, Kavala, Sparta, and Alaxandroupolis. Greece offers a bit of everything- beaches, sunny summer weather, endless history and culture, nightlife, historical sites, and natural treasures. Most of the country enjoys a varied Mediterranean climate. The warmest time of the year starts in mid-July and lasts until mid-August, which is during peak season. Summer evenings are incredibly rewarding in Greece, regardless of the heat. Some islands such as Ios, Santorini, Paros and Mykonos turn into party islands during the summer months and visitors compare the entire islands to one huge night club. Vacation in Greece this year and see why it is one of the top vacation destinations in the world.
