Sunny Greece is a temptation even for the most discerning tourists
Athens is not only the capital, but also one of the oldest cities in the world. It is difficult even to count the number of unique places located here. Of course, you should visit the ancient Acropolis. This historical site is located on a mountain and offers a beautiful panoramic view of Athens. The Acropolis includes the ancient Parthenon. According to ancient Greek legends, there was a powerful statue of the goddess Athena, which, unfortunately, burned down in a fire.
Lovers of antiquity can visit the Agora (the central square of Ancient Athens), the Theater of Dionysus, the Temple of Zeus, and the Odeon of Atticus, which still serves as the city's main concert venue. Athens also has a large number of museums.
In northeastern Greece, on the peninsula of the same name, is Mount Athos. Pilgrims should remember that only men can visit the famous monastery; women are forbidden to enter.
Experienced tourists buy tours to Greece also because in one trip you can visit many Greek islands, where exciting excursions and beautiful pristine beaches await you. For example, the island of Crete can be called a kind of small state. It perfectly combines quiet corners and party spots. The main attraction of the island is the legendary Palace of King Minos (better known as the Knossos Labyrinth). It was here, according to legend, that the Minotaur was imprisoned. Among other interesting places in Crete, the island-fortress of Spinalonga should be highlighted.
The spit on the island of Rhodes allows anyone, without traveling great distances, to swim in two seas at once – the Aegean and the Mediterranean. Although they are neighboring, they are completely different. Rhodes also has excellent conditions for surfing. The island will delight tourists with beautiful nature and a large number of ancient monuments.

You can buy various types of olive oil, delicious and inexpensive Greek wines, unique Greek brandy "Metaxa". Natural cosmetics from Greece are popular among women. On the streets, a huge number of souvenirs with antique themes are sold: vases, figurines of gods and other characters from Greek myths. You can update your wardrobe with cotton and knitwear items.
