Greece - the birthplace of the European civilization
Greece is considered the birthplace of the European civilization. Today this country offers the traveler the comforts of modern Europe in close proximity to the stark beauty of the ancient world.
Greece is a country in south-eastern Europe, situated on the southern end of the Balkan Peninsula. It shares the borders with Albania, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Bulgaria to the north and Turkey to the east. Aegian and Ionian Sea boats Greece to the east and south and to the west.
4/5 of Greece is covered by mountains or hills. Western Greece contains a number of lakes and wetlands. The fauna on this land and neighboring sea is varied hosting rare marine species of Pinniped Seals and Loggerhead Sea Turtle and in the forests lynx, roe deer, brown bear and the wild goat.
The climate of Greece can be classified into three types: Mediterranean, the Alpine and the Temperate types. Greece enjoys mild winters and very hot, dry summers cooled by seasonal breezes known as 'meltemia'. Snow can fall in the mountainous regions in winter. Winter is the wettest season and rain is unlikely between June and August.

Green and lush Corfu Island is very popular also for its developed resorts but due to gulivers.com there is still possible to find some secluded Corfu holiday rentals facing the Ionian Sea. South of Corfu Town is the cliff top terraced view site of Kanoni, overlooking an inlet that contains two tiny islands. The remains of two temples and the stadium where the first Olympic Games took place in 776 BC lies amongst shady pine, olive and oak trees, in a valley between Mount Kronos and the Alfios River on the Peloponnese Peninsula.
