Greece

Greece fills history books with mythmakers and deep thinkers. Around fabled ruins and relics, the country still thrives. It adorns idyllic islands with iconic architecture. It delights in feasts of feta treats, grove-grown goods and tzatziki-topped meats. It serenades with traditional folk or bouzouki ballads. Now, Greece starts a new story, a choose-your-own-adventure epic with your name on it.

Fun Fact

The country’s official name is the Hellenic Republic; the Greeks refer to their home as Hellas or Ellada. The name Greece comes from the Latin word used by the Romans, Graecia (Land of the Greeks), but some also associate it with famed local philosopher Aristotle who referred to the land as Graeci.
