Whether you're a history buff, fan of lounging on the beach, foodie, or just a lover of beautiful islands, Greece is the perfect destination. From the Parthenon in Athens and other ancient sites like Delphi to the ruins of the palace at Knossos in Crete, Greece is a must-visit for so many reasons.

(In fact, the word "alphabet" comes from the first two Greek letters, "alpha" and "beta.")
