Need to copy all but three folders

Hi,

Below is the listing of folder "greece"

Code:
$ cd greece
$ ls
tmp
server
logs
properties

I wish to copy all the contents of the dir "greece" to /tmp except the below three folders and its contents under "greece"

Code:
1.logs
2.server/bin/logs
3. server/cache

I am using sh (normal C shell) or Bash only.

There are enormous files and folders under greece so the command should not consume much time.

Can you please suggest.
