Happy is the man, I thought, who, before dying, has the good fortune to sail the Aegean sea.
Nikos Kazantzakis, Zorba the Greek

Beautiful beaches, glistening sea, white-washed houses, and the ubiquitous Frappé – just some things that are conjured up in the mind when thinking of Greece. In our Around the World series we turn our attention to this beautiful holiday destination. Not just a pretty face, Greece is rich in culture and history. Below we have a selection of curated lightboxes – take a look at the wonderful Benaki Museum collection, or the paintings that have been inspired by Greece. Καλή όρεξη!
