<h4>How do I get to Greece ?</h4>

||
<p>The orography of Greece makes flying the easiest and cheapest option.

From there you can fly to the most popular greek islands, which have their own airport.

Alternatively, you can get to Patras port by ferry from Venice, Italy.

Athens has an accessible, affordable and modern Metro that will take you to key points of interest and the port of Piraeus.</p>
