Fodor's Choice: Greece

Some countries have serene pastures and calm lakes, environments that are beautiful in subtle ways. Not Greece. Its landscape seems put on Earth to astound outright. This is a land of majestic mountains, sun-dappled seascapes, ancient ruins, Byzantine monasteries, and so much more. The country's islands, rimmed by sapphire-blue seas, served as a cradle for great civilizations, and countless artists have found their muse on one or another of the islands. If you're longing to go to a place where a sense of eternity hangs in the atmosphere, Greece is it.
