The special light of Greece - a combination of the whitewashed houses, the reflection off of the sea, the angle of incidence - has been renowned for thousands of years. It just feels good to be outside in the sunshine of Greece.
#2 - The "Mediterranean Diet" was Born Here
Scientists have determined that the so-called "Mediterranean Diet" - which was studied on the Greek Island of Crete - is one of the healthiest in the world. Even accidentally, if you stick to Greek food on your trip, you'll be receiving some of the benefits of this healthy, tasty way of eating.
#3 - Great Water
Bottled water from the numerous sacred mountain springs of Greece is available everywhere, and very cheaply. On a recent trip I could buy six liters of bottled water from a Zeus-approved spring for the sum of just 1.50 Euro. Your body will thank you for this vacation from over-treated water back home.
#4 - Elevating Ancient Architecture
Much of the ancient architecture of Greece was constructed according to the "Golden Mean" - a use of proportions that seems to just naturally soothe and inspire the human brain. You may not consciously understand why, but gazing at Greek art and architecture will please your neurons.
#5 - Super natural products
In recent years, many producers of skin and spa products have taken to using the intensely beneficial local Greek plants, minerals, and other natural substances to create great substances for your body. Most of them are available very inexpensively - it's a treat to use them while in Greece, and even better to bring some back to continue your Greek travel therapy back home.
