Immerse Yourself in History
Museums beyond the Expected
Greece boasts a treasure trove of museums that extend far beyond the typical archaeological fare. Explore the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Athens to discover modern masterpieces or delve into the life and works of Crete’s literary giant at the Nikos Kazantzakis Museum. For a deeper understanding of Greece’s religious heritage, the Byzantine and Christian Museum offers a fascinating journey through the art and artifacts of this pivotal era.
Beyond the Acropolis
While the Acropolis remains a must-see, Greece’s historical tapestry extends far beyond this iconic landmark. Travel back in time by exploring the archaeological wonder of Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games. Venture to Akrotiri on Santorini, a remarkably preserved prehistoric settlement, or visit Aigai (Vergina), the ancient capital of the kingdom of Macedon, where one can visit the tomb of King Philip II, Alexander the Great’s father or see its findings at the Thessaloniki’s Archeological museum.
A Symphony of Architecture
Greece is an architectural playground waiting to be explored. Wander through charming villages adorned with whitewashed houses, a quintessential image of the Cyclades. Stand in awe of the unique tower houses of Mani, a region steeped in fascinating history, and marvel at the neoclassical buildings in Athens and Thessaloniki. Each architectural style whispers a different chapter in Greece’s history.
Beyond Museums and Monuments
Under the Stars
Experience the magic of Greek culture bathed in moonlight. Catch a classic film or the latest release at an open-air cinema or lose yourself in the vibrant energy of a local festival, where music, dance, and tradition come together. For a truly unique experience, snag tickets to a performance at the Epidaurus theatre or the Odeon of Herodes Atticus during the summer months.
