Home to just over 11 million people, with around 3 million of those living in the capital Athens, Greece is considered one of the sunniest places in the world, enjoying over 250 days of sunshine or 3,000 hours of sun each year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Known for its gorgeous islands and beaches (over 6,000 islands to be precise although only 227 of them are inhabited), olives, greek mythology, ancient architecture and philosophers, it might be surprising to find out that over 80% of Greece is made up of mountains and in fact, it\u2019s one of the most mountainous countries in Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the country is home to 18 Unesco World Heritage Sites with 16 of these being based on cultural criteria while the last two are considered heritage sites because of their cultural and natural significance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With this in mind, it will not come as a surprise that Greece is home to more archaeological museums than any other country in the world, and the Acropolis of Athens was a runner-up for the New 7 Wonders of the World.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also interesting to note is that no point in Greece is more than 137 kilometres from water. Offering easy access to gorgeous, white beaches, clear waters and an opportunity to create lasting memories. So to give you a little headstart here are a few places you can consider settling in when you move to Greece<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
