Greece is a country brimming with culture; many are familiar with its long history and gifts to the world of philosophy, science, medicine, art and politics. And we haven't even mentioned its delicious cuisine, stunning scenery, beautiful beaches and friendly people.
It is little wonder that it has been a popular destination for British holidaymakers and second home owners for decades. The recent financial crisis has proved a springboard for British buyers interested in owning their own place in the sun.
