By Natasha Jervis: Opa! Greece holds the beauty of the ancient world and comforts of modern Europe. This beautiful and exotic country won its’ independence from the Turkish Ottoman Empire in 1830. Art and history lovers will enjoy a visit to Delphi’s Temple of Apollo or discovering the historic ruins on Crete of the Minoan city of Knossos. Throughout the calm blue waters of Green lies 1400 stunning islands, the largest one being Crete. Party junkies will be thrilled when they land upon the hedonistic islands such as Paros and Mykonos, where the god of revelry, Dionysus, is worshiped by a display of constant house music. Sport enthusiasts will love a visit to Athens where the Olympic Games were held back in 2004. Scenic lovers will enjoy taking in the sights from Acropolis and Parthenon, while museum enthusiasts can educate themselves about Greek culture at the National Archaeological Museum. Travelers can walk in the footsteps of Roman greats like Emperor Nero and Cicero. The city of Ancient Akrotiri in Santorini is covered in volcano ash and will keep archaeologists and the curious travel entertained. Get your toga out and take a visit to Agios Gordios, in Corfu, where you can enjoy some time on the beach and do as the “Roman’s do!“ Go! |
