Greece
Book a Greece airline ticket for world-renowned ancient sights like The Acropolis in Athens and Delphi's famous Oracle and Temple of Apollo. Flights to Greece's capital transport travellers to the breathtaking Roman Forum and The Temple of Poseidon. Nearby is Plaka (the old town), the National Archaeological Museum and the fashionable Kolonaki neighbourhood. For a classic Mediterranean holiday in Greece, book airline tickets to one of the Aegean Sea's 1,400 islands. The largest, Crete, boasts the Minóan city of Knossós. Nightlife lovers buy a ticket to Greece's best nights out on the party islands of Paros and Mykonos. Get off the tourist trail and travel to Greece's lesser-known Macedonia region and its capital, Thessaloniki.
Greek food is eaten late and in abundance. Traditional dishes include kleftiko (slow-cooked lamb), dolmades (stuffed vine leaves), moussaka, horiatiki (Greek salad) and souvlaki (spit-roasted meat). Try kalamari (squid) on the islands and haniotiko mpoureki (baked potato slices with zucchini, myzithra cheese and mint) on Crete. Local drinks include retsina (pine-needle resin wine) and ouzo (aniseed-based firewater). KLM and partners have frequent flights to Greece. Book airline tickets to coincide with Greek Orthodox Easter or get a ticket to Greece's Hellenic Festival for dance and theatre performances.
