Rhodes, Corfu, Crete and Chalkidice are some of the country's major tourist

Several museums are located in
the Hellenic Republic. Generally speaking, every major city and town in Greece
has its own Archaeological Museum, which houses findings from the nearby area.
However, most of them can be found in the big cities like Athens, where
the famous New Acropolis Museum and the National Archaeological
Museum are located. Furthermore, there are vast numbers of galleries like
the National Gallery (Athens).
There are many museums
in Thessaloniki too, like the Byzantine Museum. Overall, there are
approximately 150 museums all over the country which are easily accessible for
tourists. These Museums with artifacts tell you about the history, culture, traditional and lifestyle of the people of ancient Greece.

promoted religious tourism and pilgrimages to regions with a
significant historical religious presence, such as the monasteries in Meteora and Mount
Athos, in cooperation with other countries.
Greece also is one of Europe's
most popular LGBT tourist destinations, particularly its largest
cities Athens and Thessaloniki and some of its islands such
as Lesbos, Skiathos and Mykonos. The latter is a
well-known Gay-friendly destination with many establishments catering
to the LGBT community.
Greece has a Mediterranean
climate along its coasts and islands. Once inland, many areas and cities
experience a continental climate. Summers are usually hot and dry, while
winters are generally mild and wet. Northern Greece can experience cold
winters, while Southern Greece and the islands experience considerably milder
winters.
As
a developed country highly dependent on tourism, Greece offers a wide
variety of tourist facilities. Tourism infrastructure in Greece has been
greatly improved since the 2004 Athens Olympic Games and continues to
expand with a number of important projects particularly in areas of less
mass-tourism. Some popular beach resorts include Crete, Rhodes, Kos, Corfu,
Kefalonia, Zante and Skiathos attracting millions of foreign tourists every
year.
