Greece Among The Most Beautiful Countries In The World

Greece made the top 10 on a list of the most beautiful countries in the world compiled by a travel planning website.

According to UCITYGUIDES.com, Greece came in fifth place after Italy, Spain, France and Australia.

UCITYGUIDES.com: “The Greek Islands on the blue waters of the Aegean Sea are home to some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. They’re the first images of the country but then there’s the majestic Mt. Olympus, extraordinary Meteora, and ancient ruins around the country. While Athens disappoints those looking for aesthetic inspiration, Greece is a country that truly satisfies all the senses and it’s understandable how the idea of so many gods originated here. “

Greece is followed by Portugal, USA, Brazil, South Africa and Germany.

“Every country has its marvels and breathtaking landscapes, but these ten are blessed with a rare package of outstanding natural beauty and man-made wonders that enhance their territories with everything from beautiful cities to timeless villages, magnificent parks and pristine scenery,” UCITYGUIDES.com said.

“They are countries that offer a variety of sights and an abundance of inspiration from man and nature,” the travel planning website concluded.
