For many, experiencing the magnificent culture of Athens is a must. Symbolic of Ancient Greece, the Parthenon and the Acropolis are major attractions. The mid-day heat is best avoided in summer, when temperatures can reach 40C.
West of Athens is the Peloponnese peninsula – original home of the Spartans. Visit Nafplion - a fishing port with one of the warmest climates in Greece, and the tranquil city of Epidavros - a healing sanctuary of the God Asklepios.
Greece’s islands are also rich in cultural treasures. The Cyclades hold relics of civilisations dating back to 3000 BC
the Byzantine churches and the legendary Mount Zeus on the island of Naxos are also a big draw.
