Default Re: travel to greece

Hi there,

There is a lot to appreciate when traveling to Greece from its history to its architecture.

Athens is probably a great place to start where you can explore the Acropolis with its ruins that include the Parthenon to the ancient Panathenaiko Stadium.

You can walk through the Athenian Agora, marvel at the ancient Odeon of Herodes Atticus, and wonder what the Temple of Olympiad Zeus must have been like in its time.

Cities like Thessaloniki and the Old Town of Rhodes have a great imprint from past civilizations with places like:

* Olympia where you can see where the Olympics began
* Meteora where you can experience the Church of the Metamorphisis to see the lengths that monks went to hundreds of years ago to preserve their religion and way of life.

Some of the best museums to explore are the National Archaeological Museum, the Benaki Museum and the new Acropolis Museum.

Greece also offers plenty of outdoor activities such as:

* Skiing in the mountains of northern Greece
* Rock climb at Meteora
* Biking on the island of Crete.
* Hiking on the volcanic island of Santorini.
* Snorkeling and Scuba diving in beaches such as Red Beach Santorini, Red Beach Crete, etc.
