Greece Guide

Greece has got a magical combination of ancient archaeological sites and a relaxed, cosmopolitan vibe. There are islands with breathtakingly beautiful beaches; the clarity of light in Greece is well-known, as is the country's amazing variety and abundance of flowers and plants.

Immigration has a huge impact on Greece’s social landscape; immigrants make up approximately 10% of the population (the majority of these come from Albania). Traditional customs are always present in every day life. The young Greeks tend to also follow established traditions, but are more outward looking than the older generations.

About 98% of the population belong to the Greek Orthodox Church. Roman Catholics, Protestants, Evangelists, Jews and Muslims form the remainder.
