Greece, cradle of Western civilization, is one of the top tourist destinations in Europe. Greece, the capital, offers a myriad of experiences, landscapes and activities. And of course The Parthenon - solitary and pristine - lording it over the hazy sprawl of Athens. Eighty percent of Greece consists of mountains, of which Mount Olympus is the highest at 9,570 feet.
Athens, the capital city of Greece, is an ancient city, steeped in many centuries of history. Home of the Olympics, the original modern-day Olympic Games were held in the city of Athens over 100 years ago. In 2004, the Olympic Games finally returned here and the city underwent an enormous facelift. Within Athens there are eight large hills, including the Acropolis. A trip to the Greek capital's most famous tourist attraction, the impressive Parthenon, built on the Acropolis around 2,500 years ago, will be memorable to say the least.
Some of the top places of interest include the Agora - a grand, ruined Roman building that was funded by Roman emperors; the Temple of Zeus - built around 1,500 years ago for the worship of the Greek God Zeus; Hadrian's Arch - originally the city gate linking the Roman quarters with the original town of Athens; and the stunning Dionysos Theatre - the world's oldest theatre where many great plays have been performed over the years.
