Greece is a beloved corner of the globe for many vacationers. Some are drawn by the history of this country, closely intertwined with myths and legends about gods and ancient heroes. For others, Greece is primarily the cradle of the fundamental physico-mathematical sciences, Western philosophy, theater, and the Olympic Games.<\/p>
Fascinating excursions to historical, architectural, and cultural monuments will be remembered as an amazing journey into antiquity. Be sure to visit sacred sites in Olympia, Athens, Thessaloniki, Meteora, Delphi (the ancient Acropolis, Temple of Zeus, Daphni Monastery, Mount Parnassus, Temple of Apollo, Mount Athos). Don't forget to taste delicious national dishes and products: real olive oil, feta cheese, moussaka, and pastitsio. And, of course, be sure to bask in the gentle rays of the sun on a hot sandy beach to the sound of rustling waves. Don't miss the favorite tourist attraction in Greece – donkey riding. The local nature's colors will also leave you indifferent – a beautiful combination of seascapes with the whimsical peaks of mountain ranges.<\/p>
