Athens
Parthenon
The Parthenon is a former temple on the Athenian Acropolis,
Greece, dedicated to the goddess Athena. Construction began in
447 BC when the Athenian Empire was at the peak of its power.
It is the most important surviving building of Classical Greece
and is regarded as an enduring symbol of Ancient Greece, democracy and
Western civilization.
Corinth Canal
The Corinth Canal in Greece is one of the oldest such canals in the world and a very important navigational route in the Greek archipelago connecting the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf. It spans a distance of 6.3 kilometres. The view over the Corinth Canal is truly magnificent
Poseidon Temple
The ancient Greek temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion,
built during 440 BC, is one of the major monuments of the
Golden Age of Athens. It overlooks the sea at the end
of Cape Sounion, at a height of almost 60 metres.
Sailors in ancient times knew they were nearly home when they
saw the first glimpse of white.
Theatre of Epidaurus
The Theatre of Epidaurus is regarded as the best preserved ancient
theatre in Greece in terms of its perfect acoustics and architectural structure.
It was constructed in the late 4th century BC.
Due to its incomparable acoustics, the actors can be perfectly heard
by all 15,000 spectators, as you can even hear the sound of a pin dropping.
