Ancient Hellas

Greece attracts Russian tourists with its rich culture. Here you can see the monuments of several civilizations at once: Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Byzantium, the Ottoman Empire, the Venetian Republic …

In this country, they are loyal to citizens from Russia. We have the same religion with the Hellenes. Any Greek would not mind talking to a tourist in English, having heard that you are from the Russian Federation. And if there are children with guests, then for the inhabitants of Hellas it is happiness. Anyone will certainly give the child some souvenir or treat him with something tasty.

Rest in October

In October, the weather is warm, not sweltering. The same temperature will be abroad at sea in 2020. Moreover, the closer to Africa, the warmer. The most southern points of Greece, which are chosen by travelers in the fall, when thinking about where to go on vacation inexpensively, are the islands of Rhodes and Crete.
