Archaeology – Alive history

Greek culture is one of the most emblematic in the world. The habitation of Greece from

deep prehistory, the miracle of classical Greek culture, the glory of Byzantium, and the

country’s modern history excite the imagination.

Archaeological research and collective practice never cease in Greece. Treasures from

another era are continually coming to light and we gain a wider understanding of the

historical evolvement of the Greece world with every new discovery.

Most famous Archaeological sites of Greece

1. The Acropolis, Athens: In the

heart of modern Athens, the enormous rock of the ancient Acropolis rises straight from the earth. The cornerstone of European civilisation, it is still a marvel, a reminder of what mankind is capable of. Here you’ll finally see with your own eyes the creations of the Golden Age you studied in school: the Parthenon, the Propylaia, the Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheum with its famous Caryatids.

2. Delphi, Central Greece: The ‘navel of the Earth’, where the most celebrated oracle of ancient times resided. Here the revered Pythia uttered her predictions, made more portentous by the spectacular setting. The temple of Apollo, the god of light, is the most important monument. (Short excursion from Athens)

3. Vergina, Macedonia: The underground museum with the royal grave of Philip II, father of Alexander the Great, should be among the current wonders of the world, for its exquisite gold finds, rare paintings and splendid execution. (Short excursion from Thessaloniki)

Nature – For Green & Adventure lovers

Greece is one of the most popular European destination. The nature in Greece is of great

diversity and it varies a lot. Located on the crossroads of three continents (Europe, Africa

& Asia), the landscape of the country has been largely affected by the close regions and

hosts a variety of flora and fauna.

The variety of Greek nature offers a delight sight. National parks, waterfalls, rushing

rivers, lakes, wetlands, mountain ranges, even volcanoes on Santorini is a small example

of much variety such a small country can display. The best seasons to visit Greece, and

enjoy the nature most are Autumn and Spring, where the colors are wonderful and the

weather is mild. Agro tourism is developing gradually but steadily in Greece, as it allows

visitors to become familiar with farming activities, local culture and daily life in the

countryside.

Gastronomy – Secrets of Greek & Mediterranean cuisine

The ancient Greeks were famous for their longevity. Until now, the scientists are trying to

unravel the reasons behind this phenomenon. The secret is in their food which played an

important role in maintaining a good health. The most popular goods presented on the

average Greek table were fish and seafood, olives and olive oil, vegetables, milk, soft

white goat cheese, fruits, nuts, honey and bread.

Greece is the birthplace of European winemaking. On the island of Crete the grapes have

been cultivated for nearly 4,000 years! Bear in mind, there is a myth saying that the God

of wine Dionysus married Cretan princess Ariadne. No feast is complete without wine or

retsina, and ancient Greek dishes have survived the history and came virtually

unchanged.

You can enjoy one of the Gastronomic GreeceontheGo Roadtrip route in order to follow

specific paths of Food or Wine tasting! Choose the route and let Greece amaze you with

it’s people, tastes and smells!

You can see that, being one of the most delicious cuisines in the world, Greek food is
