Visitors can take shelter from the unrelenting Greek sun in world-class museums, showcasing treasures of ancient civilizations, or in galleries displaying art from across the centuries.

Experiencing Greek Food

Greek Mediterranean cuisine is also testament to the country&#x;s long history, dating back to the Ancient Greeks who had a strong focus on olive oil, wheat, wine, and fish.

The most popular wine in Greece is retsina, a white wine that has a distinct resin flavor. Greece also produces other fine wines, appreciate Athiri, Malagousia and Moscofilero. Another popular
