Since antiquity Greece has been a place for travel, worship, trade, knowledge, arts. In recent decades, Greece has been renown and in the top 10 worldwide as the place to go for a vacation - namely sea, sun and sand. As vacationers’ needs for experience expanded, Greece has unveiled its unspoiled and authentic side. Be it unconditional hospitality (in Greek called “Philoxenia”), tradition, natural beauty, history, antiquity, gastronomy, trekking, sailing, etc.
 
This edition of “Travelling Exclusive” will take you to unknown, but majestic places in Greece for a glimpse of what the traveler can make a life experience, when visiting these places.
 
The island of Crete is the birthplace of the first European civilization, called Minoan, which flourished between 3,000 BC and 1,200 BC and is at the southern edge of Europe, with a coast line of over 1,000 kilometers, in the heart of the Mediterranean. It’s the place “El Greco” was inspired; Anthony Quinn starred in the film “Zorba the Greek;” Linear B writing was identified; and the notorious Mediterranean Diet, or otherwise called Cretan Diet. It’s the place where myths are like history and history is like a myth.
 
Crete alone will offers life lasting experiences you will want to come back time after time, and this edition of “Travelling Exclusive” will give you the direction to make the most out of your visit.
 
The Cyclades are a complex of island with the unique Cycladic houses architecture; white-washed walls with contrasting deep blue window shutters and doors. In this edition, the islands of Ios - Homer’s Island; Milos – the island of Aphrodite; Syros – the capitol of Cyclades; and Kea – the island which is just a stone’s throw away from Athens are featured. Besides the authentic Greek hospitality, these islands have history, tradition, architecture, gastronomy, but most of all, beauty.
