Greece

If Greece is one of the cradles of Western civilization, it is far from content to be a museum of antiquity. Designers, architects and young craftsmen are taking part in a new dynamic that does not deny its roots. On a map, the country may look small, but it's so fragmented, criss-crossed by mountains and scattered across a myriad of small islands, that you'll never cease to be amazed by its incredible diversity. All under a sky so blue you'll want to swim in it. Add to this the hospitality of the Greek people («philoxenia»), their art of embellishing their villages and their tasty cuisine, and a trip to Greece is bound to be a great success.
