Here are some of the best things to do in Greece:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Explore ancient Athens<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start your journey in the capital city of Athens, where you can visit iconic historical sites such as the Acropolis, including the Parthenon, the Erechtheion, and the Temple of Athena Nike. Explore the ancient Agora, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, and the Panathenaic Stadium. Don&#8217;t miss the Acropolis Museum, which houses a fascinating collection of ancient artifacts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the Ottoman houses of the\u00a0Plaka\u00a0neighborhood edging the Acropolis, head further back in time to the\u00a0Roman Agora\u00a0with its intricately carved\u00a0Tower of the Winds. Afterward, stop off at the\u00a0Ancient Agora, the commercial counterpoint to the Acropolis\u2019 religious function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Hop around the Greek islands<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;ve probably heard of the biggest Greek islands:\u00a0Santorini,\u00a0Mykonos,\u00a0Rhodes,\u00a0Crete\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonelyplanet.com\/greece\/ionian-islands\/corfu\">Corfu<\/a>. But the beauty of the Greek island experience is that each of the 227 major islands (of approximately 6000) that make up the several island chains in Greece has its own distinct character.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Planning tip:\u00a0<\/strong>Work out which is\u00a0the perfect Greek island for you.\u00a0Pick a zone, say the\u00a0Ionian Islands\u00a0or the\u00a0Dodecanese, and\u00a0get around\u00a0by chugging between ports on ubiquitous ferries. If you love a sailboat, charter and sail on your own. You could also pick a theme and explore several islands. Want to party? Head to Mykonos and\u00a0Ios. Prefer wild terrain?\u00a0Kefallonia,\u00a0Andros\u00a0and Crete.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Visit the Sanctuary of Apollo at Delphi<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\u00a0Sanctuary of Apollo\u00a0at the center of the ancient Greek world,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonelyplanet.com\/greece\/delphi\">Delphi<\/a>, perches on a hillside with sweeping views of the Gulf of Corinth. It&#8217;s where pilgrims would travel to hear prophecies from the god Apollo, voiced through his oracle (a woman from the local area).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Planning tip:<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s worth visiting on the fringes of the day to catch the soft light of morning on the temples\u2019 sides or the golden glow of sunset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Sit back and enjoy Greece&#8217;s cafe culture<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Slow down. One of the great treats of time in Greece is dropping whatever pace you brought with you and merging with the one here. Simply sit quay-side or street-side, sip a coffee by day or a cocktail or glass of local wine by night, and watch the world go by. Better yet, bring friends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greece is a beautiful country with a rich history, stunning landscapes, and a vibrant culture.
