The tourist center of Greece is the capital of the country - Athens. And the symbol of this city is the Acropolis. You can look at it without getting close and admire the sight of the ancient fortification. Or go to a performance at the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, a theater located at the foot of the Acropolis. This is the oldest theater, the ruins of which were found by scientists in the 19th century. Today the theater has been restored and is functioning.
Lovers of drama should also take a look at the Dionysus Theater. On its stage, the plays of Sophocles, Euripides and other authors of antiquity sounded for the first time.
The main and most visited attraction of Athens is the Parthenon. This is a temple from the time of Pericles. It crowns the Acropolis, symbolizing the power and resilience of ancient Athens.
The touching legend of King Aegea attracts tourists to Cape Sounion, on which the temple of the sea lord Poseidon was built. Another attraction is Mount Cronion, Olympia. Remains of the altars of Hera and Zeus were found at the base of the mountain. Here are the ruins of the stadium where the Olympic Games were held.
Crete is a popular holiday destination. This is a place where you can admire nature: visit caves, look at gorges and lakes. Ancient monuments in Crete are framed by natural beauty. This is a real unity of the sights of the ancient culture of Greece with the real natural splendor of the country.
No one will regret traveling after visiting Greece. Tourists bring with them a suitcase of gifts, memories and good mood.
