Things
To See And Do
Athens is
one of the oldest cities in the world, and is full of beautiful
neighbourhoods, historic sites, beaches and cultural attractions.
The Acropolis dates back to the 5th century BC and is probably
Greece’s most famous site. The Parthenon,
part of the Acropolis, is an ancient temple to Athena, and needs
no introduction. The Ancient Agora was where Socrates, Sophocles
and Aristotle used to explain their ideas. The Tower of the Wind
was built in the 1st century by a Syrian astronomer. The Arch of
Hadrian was built by Roman Emperor Hadrian in 132 AD. The Theatre
of Herodes Atticus dates back to 161 AD and can seat 5000 spectators.
The Keramikos cemetery dates back to the 12th century BC. The Temple
of Olympian Zeus was built in 131 AD by Emperor Hadrian. The Roman
Stadium was built in the 4th century BC.
As well as
all of this, Athens offers historic neighbourhoods, museums,
art galleries, cafes, restaurants, nightclubs, squares, beaches
and beautiful buildings.
In ancient
times, the town of Delphi was considered the centre of the world.
Many would come for the Oracle of Delphi. Delphi contains many
historic sites. The most important temple is the Sanctuary of
Apollo. Delphi is located on a mountainside and affords great
views.
Olympia affords
great historic significance and great beauty. It has ancient
architecture from the 7th century BC such as the temple to the
goddess Hera, and also from Roman and Byzantine times. Of course,
it is most well-known for its stadium, where the ancient Olympic
Games were held.
Epidaurus
has an ancient stadium that can seat 14,000 people. The Asklepion,
named for Asklepios the god of healing, was an ancient healing
centre. The Archaeological Museum contains many ancient artefacts
and is well worth a visit.
The site of
Meteora has one of Greece’s most dramatic landscapes
and 26 historic monasteries, which were built to protect monks
during the Ottoman occupation.
Pelion is
a peninsula containing majestic coastal and mountain scenery
and beautiful beaches. The area has plenty of traditional villages
and was home to the mythical Centaurs. The mountains offer skiing
in winter.
The Halkidiki
peninsula, birthplace of Aristotle, features incredible natural
beauty and perfect beaches. It also features the monastery at
Athos, the Holy Mountain. Some of the beaches are quiet and peaceful,
with few visitors, while others pump with life.
The township
of Nafplion features historic churches and mosques, museums,
cafes, inns, taverns and a renowned waterfront square.
In addition
to all the above, there are the ever-popular Greek Islands, which
somehow retain a traditional lifestyle and ambience, despite
being descended upon by hordes of tourists. The area is renowned
for its beautiful beaches.
