Greece also has an exceptionally rich nature, with many national parks.

Ancient temples, sun-baked islands, ouzo and the Olympics are probably the first things that come to mind when you think of Greece. The combination of a rich cultural heritage and over 1400 islands with splendid white beaches is extremely alluring to travelers. Summon the gods at Mount Olympus, admire Athens from the Acropolis and consult the ancient oracle at Delphi. And of course: go island-hopping!

The Greek rail system runs almost al around the Peloponnese, so that you always have a view of the sea on one side and sprawling plains or rugged mountains on the other. There are three types of trains, the InterCity (IC) connecting urban centers and the slower InterRegio (IR) and Regional (R) trains. The new InterCity Express (ICE) between Athens and Thessaloniki is very fast and comfortable.
