Greece has had a tough few years,
with harsh austerity measures, soaring unemployment and
demonstrations hitting the world’s headlines. For a place that
thrives on tourists – whether the kind that parties on sunburnt
islands or hoovers up ancient culture – this is bad news. But
Greece still does what it’s done brilliantly for generations.
What’s missing are visitor numbers from previous years, and prices
have come down in an attempt to woo them back. Combined with the
chance to explore Greece’s more popular sights with fewer visitors,
this means that in 2014 it offers remarkable value.
