Greece by train

Greece

The birthplace of the Olympics, big-thinking Socrates and Ouzo. Oh well, two out of three ain't bad. Greece is an enigma wrapped in a puzzle wrapped in moussaka. Its people are fantastic, its islands magical and much of its architecture as old as mankind. This is where Hercules, Zeus and rest of the Gods lived and one visit to the place and you'll understand why. From its picturesque fishing villages and rock-top monasteries to its archaeological ruins and black-clad old widows, Greece is a feast not just for the eyes but for all your senses.

Don't come complaining to us if you miss:

• Sailing your own yacht around the Greek Islands
• Learning traditional Greek dancing from the locals
• Watching the sun set over the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion
• Staying awake for a week after drinking traditionally strong coffee at a traditional outdoor caf￩.
