Greece is too old to die – Lito Seizani

Sparkling azure waters, rich orange sunsets and beautifully coloured houses pull you to Greece. It is a country with a rich historical background, passionate music, multi cultural cuisine and some of the world’s best architectural structures. It boasts of an endless coastline with many beautiful sights to choose from. There are many major attractions such as the Acropolis, Meteora’s monasteries, the Delphi, massive marble sculptures dredged up from the Aegean.

The Greek are highly traditional and understand the importance of fusing the old with the new. Their architecture is reminiscent of an old worldly charm with the aesthetic use of colours like sea blues and greens with white being one of the predominant themes. Greece is a city that invites you to take it in slowly, during lazy walks, visiting the many panoramic points and savouring the local food.
