Greece offers extensive opportunities to see a blend of beauty and ancient history. The sights of Athens alone would be enough to justify a trip, but there are many, many more sights within the country as a whole. To stand on the highest of the hills of Athens and observe the panorama of Athens, with the Acropolis jutting up in the center of the view, is a sight that you will never forget.
The wonderfully preserved and spectacular mountain area of Delphi is another superb attraction. This ancient complex was considered very important to the rulers of the known world at that ancient time. It is a “must” for any visitor to Greece to visited and tour, along with the excellent historical museum there. The Greek Islands are another wonder to visit, with each of the numerous islands having its own beauty and history. One island, Santorini, has its own nearby volcano that can be climbed for a wonderful view of Santorini a mile across the water. The volcano is still steaming gases through many vents, so be cautious. If you have never been to Greece or the Greek Islands, you should consider them as future destinations.
