It would take too long to list all of the possible things for people to see and do on their holidays in Greece, after researching the ‘best’ places to go this is the only conclusion I could come to! I trailed through sites describing different ‘top ten’ attractions and found that each one listed completely different things. Many boasted that they had been to the best restaurant and joined the best scenic tour group, some even named the best hotels and beach spots. After reading through these and becoming frustrated with the variety of answers, I realised that maybe this country offers the best in everything? On paper Greece does seem to be the ideal holiday destination with culture, history, excellent cuisine and the all important sunshine. Perhaps instead of top ten lists, writers should simply add to a list of top places, however this may end up being never-ending!
There are some things that everyone should experience when enjoying their holidays in Greece. Athens is a definite must-see; the ancient city is home to many of Greece’s most famous monuments from the Acropolis to the Kallimarmaron Stadium where the Panathenaic Games were held. The Olympia ruins are also a fantastic sightseeing spot, explore the ruins of the ancient sporting stadiums and visit the Temple of Zeus which held the famous Statue of Zeus, one of the Seven Wonders of the World.
Beach lovers are seemingly spoilt for choice with plenty of secluded beaches located both on the mainland and within the Greek islands. Relax even more with a wine tour to the island of Santorini and taste some of the island’s unique tasting wines. There are several festivals that take place across the country including the annual Hellenic festival, a celebration of performance art. Nature lovers will appreciate the wetland areas that are home to thousands of species of birds and attract bird watchers from around the world.
It seems that there will never be a definitive list of the best things for people to do whilst on their holidays in Greece. My recommendation is to research what the country has to offer and compile your own list, whether you like relaxing or being active on your break, Greece will definitely offer something to suit your tastes.
