Greece




A destination I have always wanted to visit has been Europe. With the affluent culture, history and historical scenery the continent of Europe is a sought after place that one day I hope to visit. Although I wish to travel through many different countries in Europe my first choice of destination would be Greece. Located in southern Europe between Albania and Turkey, Greece borders the Aegean Sea, the Ionian Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea. Many tourists travel to Greece to see its ancient ruins and architecture. I myself want to travel to Greece for the beautiful sites, culture and food. The geographical landscape is very mountainous with ranges extending into the sea as peninsulas or chains of islands. Places that sound fascinating to visit in Greece are the islands of Santorini and Mykonos. The island of Santorini is rumoured to be the source of the Atlantis myths, and is a hot tourist spot due to its beautiful beaches and taverns. As well the island of Mykonos is well-known for its beaches including some of the best in the Mediterranean. Besides the beaches I want to experience all the culture and taste all types of authentic Greek food. I am obsessed with calamari and souvlaki and know I will be able to find some new favourite dishes among the delicious Greek Cuisines.
