dramatic landscapes. Mountainside monasteries, unspoilt villages, ancient
olive groves and white beaches with emerald green waters abound.

landmarks, overlooked by the amazing
Acropolis. The city is also the perfect

The mainland is steeped in history. The Peloponnese is headlined by the
fresco-adorned city of Mystras and ancient Olympia. Meteora in the North
should not be missed, the monasteries are an extraordinary sight, built on
top of huge pinnacles of rock.
Travelling to the
Cyclades by ferry and Island hopping is easy.
Mykonos and
Santorini have long been renowned for their beaches, great scenery and
night-life.
Santorini is arguably the most spectacular Greek Island. Its blue-domed
roofs and black-sand beaches are only outdone by the breathtaking views of
the Caldera. |
Having exported chaos, drama, tragedy and democracy before
most nations were staying up late enough to want souvlaki, Greece boasts an
unrivalled legacy. But don't expect a visit there to be a sober study of the
ancient world - the Greek propensity for partying dates back to Dionysus.
From smoggy Athens to blindingly bright islands, ancient fragments abound -
the belly button of the cosmos at Delphi, fallen columns galore on the
sacred island of Delos, frescoed Minoan palaces on Crete and even, quite
possibly, the remnants of Atlantis at Santorini.Greeks are fierce guardians of tradition, but that doesn't mean they don't
know how to have fun. In addition, hot sun and limpid seas conspire to make
Greece a perfect place to relax. Whether you're supping in a beachside
taverna, sipping coffee in a shady plateia or disco-dancing till
dawn, chances are the gods already have you ensnared. |
 Greece Tourist Attractions
Although museums filled with ancient Greek art and artifacts continue to
remain a big draw, the island nation's Mediterranean climate - along with
its food, beaches, culture and nightlife make Greece a top destination for
more reasons than merely being the traditional "cradle of civilization."Delphi - Hordes descend on Delphi today, just as
they once did to consult the oracle. Pronouncements about the future were
given by the priestess in the Sanctuary of Apollo. There's also a theatre,
marketplace, the Treasury of the Athenians, the Sacred Way, temples
(including the Tholos, an unusual round temple) and the best-preserved
stadium in Greece. more....
where to stay: Hotels Delphi Mycenae
- This spot in the north-east Peloponnese was the centre of Greek civilisation
during the second millennium BC. Today you can see the magnificent Lion Gate,
the Treasury of Atreus, and the grave circles where treasures such as the Mask
of Agamemnon and Cup of Nestor were unearthed. Find time for the amphitheatre at
nearby Epidaurus. where to stay: Hotels Nafplion
Knossos - It was here that King Minos, the Minotaur and Theseus
performed their feats. Sir Arthur Evans unearthed this 3,000-year-old Minoan
palace in northern Crete. Four wings are arranged around a central courtyard,
containing the royal quarters, shrines and throne room. Gung-ho restoration
aside, it's as near anyone has got to the spirit of this remarkable place. where to stay: Hotels Crete
