There are many reasons we love Greece as a holiday destination, and the food and beaches could be battling it out for the top spot.

Greece is located on the Balkan Peninsula’s southern part, with the Mediterranean Sea to its south and the Ionian Sea to its west.

The Mediterranean climate sees Greece enjoy hot, sunny summers and mild winters. Because of this, Greece holidays are popular among UK travellers that want to enjoy warm weather and beautiful beaches.
