If you are planning your first trip to Greece, there are a few must-do's.

First, you must visit Athens and climb up to see the Acropolis and the Porch of Maidens statues on the Erechtheum. Second, you must feast on spanakopita, olives, gyros with loads of tzatziki, fresh seafood, Greek coffee and ouzo. There's nothing like the locals' passion for food and Greek salad at its very freshest.

Finally, you absolutely must visit at least one of Greek's serene and picturesque Mediterranean islands. With stark white cubed homes and buildings against brilliant blue waters, seafood taverns lining the docks, and small cobble-stone lined streets packed with shops and vendors - you have nothing to lose and everything to gain when it comes to visiting Greece.
