thetravelcompany.gr — Greece – what a captivating word. Greece is a mountainous country surrounded by the Greek seas – seas that only lead to most spectacular islands in the world. Greece and the Greek islands, each of these words represents a whole world of landscapes and personality that make us feel like the gods of Olympus. Greece was,  is,  and will always be a paradise for travelers who want to experience the essence of Western civilization.

The highest mountain in Greece is Mount Olympus – its very steep rock walls make it nearly impossible to climb. It is so high, that you can hardly see the top , which is always surrounded by clouds. The Greeks had countless gods who represented the force of nature.
