Travelling To The Past With Greece Hotels
Lovers of ancient history will adore a trip to ‘the cradle of Western civilization’, otherwise known as Greece. With access to numerous historical sites detailed in ancient Greek myths and stories, the country’s islands are jam-packed with remnants of ancient civilisations. Don't forget the choice of beautiful beaches, along the gorgeous Greek coast, which glitter in the sun. Greece has so many options, that it presents an opportunity to get lost in the choices, so it is worth narrowing down your options.
The Greece hotels available offer a broad range of accommodations in locations throughout the Greek Isles. If you need advice with excursions and visits, then talk to the hotel staff, who are happy to help. Regardless of your specific itinerary, here are some renowned sites that history buffs shouldn’t miss when visiting Greece:
The Acropolis, Athens
The Acropolis guards the city of Athens from a large flat-topped mountain just outside of the city, and is one of the best-known buildings in the world and an iconic symbol of the Greek civilisation. Within its ruined walls, lies the ruins of numerous temples, including the Parthenon—dedicated to the goddess Athena, the alleged protector of Athens and has served as a place of shelter and defence since at least 6 BC. As well as exploring the historical site and a museum of artefacts found on the site, visitors can enjoy the amazing view of the city of Athens.
Delphi
Located near the legendary Mt. Parnassus, the mythical home of Pan and the nymphs, the ruins of Delphi hold immense historical significance. People believe that an oracle capable of foretelling the destiny of kings and common people alike, lived within Delphi – the centre of the world.
As well as being able to explore numerous treasures where people paid tithes to him, you can explore the ruins of the Temple of Apollo. Along with an ancient gymnasium, fountains and a historic theatre, there are numerous athletic statues still stand on the site.
Knossos
Enter the palace of King Minos, the extraordinary king of Minoan civilisation. Knossos is the largest Bronze-age site in Crete, and is acknowledged as the philosophical and ceremonial capital of the Minoan people.
