TRAVEL GUIDE TO GREECE

Greece is a mosaic of different experiences and is infused with ancient mythology. The country has a number of things to offer for people who like art, history and philosophy. It is made up of idyllic islands which are surrounded by blue seas and the buildings are covered in white. 

1.Acropolis

Acropolis is a historical site you can’t miss. Getting up there is very easy and pleasant. Below the Acropolis is the theater of Herod Atticus built by the Romans in 161 AD. It is  still used today for classical concerts, ballet, performances of high cultural value. Best time to visit is late winter or spring. Even in December, one can see wildflowers and surprisingly green grass.

2.Santorini

Santorini is the supermodel of the Greek islands. It is an island volcano surrounded by the Aegen sea. The obvious thing to do is to walk the caldera edge and admire the views. Santorini’s lauded wines are its crisp dry whites and the amber-coloured are made from the indigenous grape variety, assyrtiko. Peak travel time is July and August, but the beaches are packed with tourists. Don’t discount a winter break, when crowds are scarce while the scenery is still breathtaking. Santorini is a year-round destination.

3.Delphi

Delphi was considered by the ancient Greeks to be the centre of the world. It wealthy remains combined with magnificent mountains and its importance with Greek mythology makes it a must visit place in Greece. According to ancient myth,Zeus released two eagles, one from the east, the other from the west, and caused them to fly toward the centre. They met at the future site of Delphi, and the spot was marked by a stone. Tourists flock to Delphi in the summer, while in the winter months, ski resorts take over and the area is almost as busy with visitors as in the summer.
