The temple of Hera is one of many Temples and close to where the Olympic flame is lit using a Parabolic mirror every 4 years for the Olympics, it is then taken to wherever the modern Olympics are being held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Olympia is also famous of course as the site of the <strong>Statue of Zeus<\/strong>, one of the wonders of the ancient world, destroyed in around 425 it is believed, or possibly removed and taken to Constantinople, the temple still remains as ruins. For more information on all the sites here, which include several more temples, you can also visit the Olympia Archaeological Museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Parthenon at the Acropolis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Acropolis has been a key site since the 5th century BC originally as a defensive position and with temples added over the centuries. The <strong>Temple of Athena Nike<\/strong> was built right back between 421 and 415 BC and Erchtheion is a temple dedicated to Athena, Poseidon, and Erechtheus, both can be viewed from the top. The Parthenon of course can be seen from across <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seabookings.com\/es\/destination\/grecia\/56-atenas\/\">Atenas<\/a> but is the most awe-inspiring up close, itself a temple to Athena as well the columns mainly still stand despite damage during a 17th-century siege.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Greek Parliament House and Syntagma<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An area where many of Greece\u2019s biggest companies are based Syntagma is a modern square with the Greek Parliament House on one side, in what was originally a Royal Palace completed in 1843. Outside the parliament, you can watch the changing of the Presidential guard every hour and though you can\u2019t visit the parliament you can walk the Syntagma Place gardens that surround it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">National Archaeology Museum, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seabookings.com\/es\/destination\/grecia\/56-atenas\/\">Atenas<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Though some of ancient Greece\u2019s most famous artifacts are in international museums outside the country, which the Greeks feel should be given back, there are still a huge variety of exhibits at the recently refurbished National Archaeology museum making it one of the world\u2019s best. Everyone can find inspiration here: from an <a href=\"https:\/\/writemypaperbro.com\/essay-writer\/\">online essay writer<\/a> to a worldwide famous artist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among the most famous exhibits is the massive bronze Statue of Poseidon, god of the sea, and the death mask of Agamemnon, now proven not to be that of Agamemnon but still impressive covered as it is in gold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.seabookings.com\/es\/destination\/grecia\/13-creta\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/seabookings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/things-to-do-in-Crete-3-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Las 5 mejores cosas que hacer en Creta\" class=\"wp-image-13070 smush-dimensions\" width=\"1024\" style=\"--smush-image-width: 1024px; --smush-image-aspect-ratio: 1024\/683;\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Crete is a great island to visit for many reasons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Knossos, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seabookings.com\/es\/destination\/grecia\/13-creta\/\">Creta<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No one is quite sure how ancient Knossos is but estimates suggest a Neolithic settlement was here 8500 years ago and as early as 8000 BC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The height of the Civilisation here though was between around 2000BC and 1300BC, when the Royal Palace was abandoned. The Palace is though still the main attraction today, King Minos if he existed, may have lived here and his Labyrinth may have been nearby. What is here is in remarkable condition and even parts of the city around it remain; you can see the restored entrance to the place, columns, water systems, and the throne room, complete with frescoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Rodas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Founded in 408 BC the city of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.seabookings.com\/es\/destination\/grecia\/37-rhodes\/\">Rodas<\/a> is situated on the northeastern tip of the island, itself located closer to mainland Turkey than Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The citadel of Rhodes, apart from the beaches, is the main attraction on the island built by the Knights Hospitalier it dates from the Middle Ages and remains wonderfully well preserved containing the medieval city within its walls that itself is well preserved too. Sitting at the harbor you can only imagine how it would have looked in ancient times with the Bronze Colossus of Rhodes, one of the wonders of the world, watching over the harbor entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code><\/code><\/pre>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29092,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[1],"tags":[832,834,1074],"destination":[],"class_list":["post-29091","blog","type-blog","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-holidays-in-greece","tag-travel-tips-for-the-best-holidays-in-greece","tag-visit-greece"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.9 (Yoast SEO v27.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Best Places to Visit in Greece<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.seabookings.com\/es\/blog\/the-best-places-to-visit-in-greece\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"es_ES\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The Best Places to Visit in Greece\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The birthplace of democracy and since then under the yoke of many undemocratic empires such as the Roman and Ottomans: Greece has been constantly topped up with a history for many thousands of years meaning wherever you go it is now brimming with it.
