Founded
in prehistoric times, the Greek capital city Athens has now
become a thriving metropolis. Despite the urban setting, the
city is full of visible history. The remarkable Acropolis,
ancient Agora, and Hadrian’s Gate all stand as reminders of
Athens’ long past. But for those who prefer the present,
Athens offers shopping in the Plaka, dining in countless
fine restaurants and late-night partying at the discos.
One of
the most amazing places in Greece, if not the world is
Meteora just outside Kalambaka a small village in Northern
Greece. The impressive Byzantine monasteries are perched on
top of enormous rock formations and this is quite a unique
site. Many multi-day tours from Athens include Meteora in
their itineraries and visitors stay at hotels located in
Kalambaka.
After
Acropolis, Delphi is the most popular archaeological site in
Greece. Located 180 km from Athens, a trip to Delphi is
listed in just about every tour itinerary and is by far the
most popular day trip out of Athens. Delphi in ancient times
was considered the center of the known world, the place
where heaven and earth met. This was the place on earth
where man was closest to God.
