Greece is a country in Southern Europe, with extensive coastlines and islands in the Aegean, Ionian, and Mediterranean Seas. We don’t need to mention I’m sure, that its history is almost as old as history itself (well, almost…) and its ancient culture has had a significant influence on the arts, language, philosophy, politics, and sports of modern society. Visit famous tourist attractions in Albania, Bulgaria and North Macedonia to get an understanding of their traditions and cultural heritage. Enjoy the serenity and the natural beauty the place has to offer.
