Explore Greece Greece

The combination of blue and white here will never bring visual fatigue, and the scenery between blue and white is too beautiful to be true, so we started the exploration of fresh senses with the lens. The history of Greece can be traced back to 4000 years ago. People in mainland Greece organized great naval and military expeditions to explore the Mediterranean and the Black Sea, as far as the Atlantic Ocean and the Caucasus Mountains. Homer's Iliad, the first great literary work in Europe, described one of the expeditions ―― attacking Troy. Few places have so many exciting cultural legends as Greece. The cradle of western thought, literature, art, architecture and democracy gave birth to Homer's Iliad, Sappho's King Oedipus, Plato's and Socrates' theories, the Parthenon, Zobah and the Olympic Games, etc., and it is also a cultural red carpet that Greeks have reason to be proud of. Hospitality is a traditional virtue in Greece. Wherever you go, you will hear a warm "good morning", and then the host will enthusiastically hand over a glass of fresh orange juice or ice water. Greeks attach great importance to their own culture and have a strong sense of belonging and sexual complex. Every historical stage, every period, every character and every work of art can be found in modern Greek society. Climbing on the Acropolis, your eyes can enjoy an absolute visual feast: the Acropolis Gate, the Erection Hall and the Temple of Athena are historical and architectural treasures, making Greece known as the cradle of western culture. The Byzantine Cathedral is dotted with Thessaloniki, the Queen of the North. Smell the incense there. Go to Rome Theatre, DeSadikus Concert Hall, or Epi Dorus Theatre to listen to the world-famous performances held by the "Greek Festival". Go to the ancient Olympia Gymnasium, where the first Olympic Games were held in 776 BC. If you lean over and touch the ancient boulder there, you can feel the strangeness of the alternation of the old and the new.

Greece is the hometown of Zeus and Olympus, but its prosperous capital Athens was not perfect at first. Athens is the historical capital of Europe, and its long history can be traced back to the first inhabitants of the Neolithic Age. Athens is also the birthplace of western civilization. The fifth century BC was the peak of her long and fascinating history, and her intellectual thoughts such as political thought, drama, art, philosophy and architecture all reached the peak of history. 1834, Athens became the capital of modern Greece. This choice is an important symbol based on the classical history of Athens. In two centuries, Athens has become a charming modern metropolis. Strolling through the streets of Athens, you can still feel the massiness of the city, because it bears the history of 6000 years of civilization. Today's Athens is no longer the former Athens, but more beautiful. The hosting of the 2004 Olympic Games made her look brand-new. Perhaps during the Olympic Games, the historical sites we saw in Athens were integrated with parks, pedestrian streets, forests and vaginas, and connected with the nightlife areas of Prakka, Puxili and Xi 'an. Athens has created a model that other cities are bound to follow. The new expressway keeps the traffic away from the business district, and the city streets are safer and the air is fresher. Olympic lanes are being transformed into high-capacity car lanes. The new subway makes it easier for people to get in and out of airports and ports, and opens up new attractions for tourists who used to be confined to the island business district around the Acropolis. Take the coastal tram. You can take the new air-conditioned light rail tram to the seaside, or you can go shopping and eat in the coastal suburbs.

Olympia is located in the east of Pilgos in the western Peloponnesian Peninsula, Greece, at the intersection of the Alpes River and the Krazefs River, 370 kilometers away from Athens. The climate here is pleasant, the scenery is beautiful, and there are olive trees, cinnamon trees and cypresses everywhere. Olympia is the birthplace of the Olympic movement. According to historical records, as early as the Iron Age, Doris built a temple here, and the Olympic Movement was a celebration to worship the gods. Olympia has the oldest sports ground in the world. In the future, although the Olympic Games will be held in turn in various countries, the name will still be used, and the flame of each Olympic Games will be lit here. Around 1000 BC, young people in ancient Greece began to hold sports meetings here, which were called competitions at that time. Since then, the scale has been expanding. In 776 BC, the Games developed into the Greek Olympic Games. Since then, it has been held every four years, and people who take part in the sports meeting are as happy as celebrating festivals. The winners of the sports meeting are awarded the honor of ode written by famous poets, and sometimes they are famous for their statues. By 464 BC, the neighboring city-states also sent representatives to participate, making this activity a symbol of peace and friendship.

For this nation blessed by the sea and mountains and rivers, the dining table scenery is endless, and the active atmosphere in the small restaurant is unique to Greece. At dinner time, family or friends come to the brightly lit restaurant in groups of three or five. Dinner starts with Greek muddy white aperitif mixed with water, then slowly order squid, shrimp and shellfish on the display cabinet, and then choose your favorite conditioning method. People at each table will have a heated conversation, and wine and cod roe paste will be placed on the table. Fish and meat are finally served. Everyone sang loudly with Buzuji and danced the rhythmic folk dance Sirtaki. The store has become very lively, and the invited tourists can't help but throw themselves into this atmosphere. After dinner, they can also taste all kinds of cheese, wine and fresh desserts and snacks. Playing is also a Greek tradition. Summer is of course the season of the sea. You can go to the beautiful seaside with friends or family. Because it is called the country of the sea, it is absolutely an impeccable ideal place. No wonder the Greeks often say that "one person leads two people's lives" and enjoying life has become their goal.

Greek island tour

Greece conquered the ocean, and the ocean broadened Greece's horizons. The endless coastline network constitutes a series of scenic wonders, and it is these dense jagged coasts that make Greece so beautiful and become a unique fairyland on earth in the Mediterranean. Here, our eyes will be fixed on the "blue sea and blue sky", 16000 km coastline, of which the islands occupy 7500 km. Each section of coastline shows unique scenery: hidden harbors, golden beaches, white pebbles and red starfish, caves formed by steep rocks, and emerald bays and natural ports. What is even more proud is that 406 beaches in Greece have won the "European Blue Flag" award, and the transparent and clean seawater here will always make people restless and restless. Bathed in the warm sunshine, just like the Nobel Prize winner Odysseus? All the senses of the body will be mobilized, as described in Alice's poem "The Sun of the Monarch". It took a long time to capture the scene of dolphins jumping between the waves, smelling the salty sea, listening to the sound of waves beating on the coast and watching the long-distance ships lined with white houses on the horizon. Everything is arranged in advance. When the sea splashed on me gently, it was refreshing in an instant, and now I understand that I am also a part of this landscape.

Jew

In the charming dark blue waters of the Aegean Sea, there are some beautiful islands with different shapes scattered like stars, which form the famous Kiklazes Islands. This is an ideal holiday resort where tourists of all tastes can enjoy themselves. This is one of the most important civilizations in the Mediterranean, and the Jewish culture named after the island was invented here.

Cyclades has a Mediterranean climate with an annual average temperature of 18- 19 degrees. Here, steep mountains and rocky hills can be seen in most Kiklaze Islands. Together with gorgeous beaches, they form the beautiful scenery on the island. A spectacular white box house stands beside the newly painted street, inlaid with stepped walls, wooden doors and windows and brightly colored balconies. These houses are dotted with petite and charming churches, beautiful cafes and shops selling souvenirs, and the whole scenery is like a movie.

It is no accident that Mykonos, the most international of all Greek islands, attracts many tourists from all over the world, including a large number of artists and scholars. The name "Mykonos" comes from Mykonos, the grandson of Apollo and the son of the demigod Anios in Greek mythology. The mythical Poseidon once lifted this huge stone called Mykonos and killed those giants. The large rubble covering Mykonos Island is said to be the remains of those giants. Mykonos Island is a busy island, equipped with modern tourist attractions and providing all-weather activities for those who want to enjoy a vibrant time. Of course, tourists who like a quiet holiday can still find a quiet leisure corner here.

Santorini Island is a crescent-shaped volcanic island and one of the most famous islands in cyclades. Modern archaeologists boldly speculate that santorini Island may be Plato's magical ancient Atlantis, adding a little mystery to the island. Different from other islands in the archipelago, it has a very unique geological structure, abundant sunshine, unique black beaches, white houses built on the mountain, wine and food with local characteristics, rich entertainment activities and a long history ... all of which make it a resort for couples to date. When summer comes, santorini Island attracts countless tourists with its striking scenery, unique natural environment, unusual buildings and outstanding historical sites. The west side of the island is inlaid with dazzling white houses, and the towering cliffs are directly inserted into the sea. This is in sharp contrast to the east, where there are many beaches and pebble beaches. The ruins of Akrotiri are still the ruins of Minos, which were destroyed by the eruption of Mount Sheila in BC 1500. In fact, this is Pompeii, a prehistoric site buried under volcanic ash, with two or three floors of houses, squares, shops, factories and so on. People found magical murals, vases and daily utensils in these houses.

Yiya, located in the north of the island, is a famous art village and is recognized by tourists as the most beautiful place in the whole island. The whole mountain city of Yiya is full of artists, including artists who sell their creations, artists who paint on their own walls, and artists who have lived. With its land and money, Ilya gave santorini people a chance to get rich, and also gave travelers a dream. Every blue-and-white church and bell tower can't find completely repeated color curves and windows. They are all located according to the ups and downs of the mountain city, which is eye-catching from a distance. The most interesting building is the cave house, which is called the "black nest". Driven by tourism, it is no longer a primitive cave, but a new white door wall roof, showing the beautiful architectural style of the Kiklazes Islands. This simple and beautiful architectural aesthetics has attracted many artists to live here and inspired their creative inspiration. Yiya's accommodation is mostly built by the sea, with good scenery and few hotels, so the price remains high. If there is swimming pool facilities, it must be a five-star price. It doesn't matter if you can't afford to live on a limited budget, but you must visit the streets of Yiya. Every store in Yiya is exquisite and artistic. The decoration of art galleries, leather goods, silver jewelry boutiques, mosaics, ceramic huts and even restaurants and cafes shows a good style. Elegance is well-deserved as the "village of artists", and taste is essential to artistry.

Looking at the sunset from the volcanic cliff is the signature of the city of Ia. Every evening, the town of Yiya becomes a sea of people, because it is the best place to watch the sunset. At dusk, when you enter a restaurant, you will be surprised to find out why everyone is not sitting indoors, but running outside to bask in the sun. It turns out that everyone is waiting for the beautiful sunset. Drinking wine and waiting for delicious food. The blue sky has gradually become colorful, rosy clouds have gradually reddened the sky, warm orange has smudged one house after another on the mountain, and the ripples on the sea surface are like a long string of diamond necklaces. That kind of beauty makes you inexplicably true and unreal, and that kind of drunkenness makes you confuse people with immortals. Santorini Island is bathed in the sunset, which is more poetic!

Ferra is the capital of santorini and an important transportation hub on the island. Buses to tourist attractions and towns all start from here. Ferrara city is built on a cliff more than 300 meters high, and the white houses layered according to the mountain form an amazing geometric shape. There are countless beautiful and lovely works of art on display in the maze-like shopping street. After careful arrangement, these artworks show endless beauty, and the bright sunshine dances in the alleys, creating a changing light and shadow effect. With narrow alleys and ups and downs in Ferrara, donkeys have become the most traditional and practical means of transportation on the island. Couples sit on donkeys and walk straight along steep zigzag steps. In this easily lost place, they walked aimlessly in this white and blue world under the command of donkeys, enjoying the cool and carefree world of two people. This is definitely a fresh and interesting experience.

The black sand also seems to be a sign of santorini's extraordinary status. Kamali is the most famous beach in santorini. Although the sea here is dazzling blue, it is a black beach lapped by the sea. Black sand and blue sea and blue sky set each other off in interest, and the colors are in sharp contrast. Unconventional collocation has actually completed the most unique landscape here. Burying yourself in black sand and letting your skin greedily absorb natural minerals is more cost-effective than going to a beauty salon to do a SPA. The long coastline is lined with high-end hotels, restaurants, shops and bars. After nightfall, Camaly became a city that never sleeps, and people were addicted to passionate music, wine and lust. If elegance is the favorite of literati, then Camaly is a paradise for hedonists.

Druse Island is an uninhabited island 6 kilometers away from Mykonos Island. The huge archaeological remains on the island-magnificent monuments thousands of years ago-attracted thousands of tourists to make pilgrimages.

Today, people visit Druce Island because it has a history of thousands of years and became the political and religious center of the Aegean Sea after the 8th century BC. Archaeological sites start from the religious port at the western end and are almost all over the island. Starting from the port, the grand religious road leads to the temple of Apollo, where there are temples, altars, vows and other buildings. There are four ruins of Apollo temples here, one of which is the famous temple of Athena. To the east is the bull temple building, and to the north is the treasure house and the long and narrow Antioch colonnade. In the northwest corner is the smaller Alsi Temple, with an Ionian goddess temple and two virgin cemeteries in the northern pure land. Further north is the sacred lake area, with the Lion Colonnade, Leiden Site, Italy Square and some exquisite houses and arenas in the distance. To the northeast of the lake are stadiums and gymnasiums Some houses are decorated with excellent representative mosaic floors, bollards and tridents.

Today, five Greek ports have been awarded the "Blue Flag", and * * * has 66,665,438+0 berths, which can provide a warm and safe harbor for your ship. In addition to Thessalonica, a large commercial port on the Piraeus River, some smaller ports have specially opened up quiet and beautiful berthing ports. If you don't have your own boat, don't worry, you can still be a captain. Hundreds of yacht brokers with business licenses rent more than 4,000 professional speedboats in Greece: motorboats, motorboats, sailboats, uncovered boats and motorboats.

A trip to the Peloponnesian Peninsula

The Peloponnesian Peninsula is located at the southernmost tip of the Greek mainland. At first, it was an island, but the strong geological uplift in this area made it merge with the Greek mainland twice. Later, the sea receded again, forming the Isthmus of Corinth. This isthmus was cut off at the end of19th century to build the Corinthian Canal, which made Bell rosny an island again. The Peloponnesian Peninsula is a rocky land with mountainous interior. The coastal area has a real Mediterranean climate, while the central area has a relatively continental climate.

In this mythical land, every corner will remind people of Greek mythology. The Peloponnesian Peninsula is full of images, music, oceans, mountains, grapes, olives and oranges. The cities, towns and tourist attractions here are all important centers in ancient times, and they are still the same today. The village seems to be made of gray rocks, and the rocks in the wilderness dance with beautiful brooms. Other villages are close to the vast sea, but wherever they are, people are full of energy, hospitality, pride and pride. The three main road networks enable people to reach places full of natural beauty, important archaeological sites, and verify the land and stones of other times. Before reaching the isthmus, we visited the Peloponnesian Peninsula and came to Rutraki, where there are famous luxury hotels and many small hotels.

After crossing the isthmus, we arrived in kosslyn, which is a commercial center and transportation center. Among the archaeological sites in ancient kosslyn, we found splendid ancient city sites. The road extends to huge olive groves, food crops, farmland and vegetable growing areas, and leads to modern villages and towns and ideal tourist attractions. From Chiatu to Ona, Guski, from Skiona to Faria, Stourm, and then to the charming resort of Ekilokaster. Diaco Forto is the starting point for visiting the historic monasteries of Kara Villetard, Megoros Pillay and Ajirapura.

Panagyatripia Monastery is built between lifelike rocks, and beaches covered with beautiful pebbles can be found nearby.

Patrice on the west coast is the Greek window to ionian islands and Italy. Its charming squares, neoclassical buildings and the ruins of the fortress at the top of the mountain all add infinite charm to this vibrant port city. It is the fourth largest city in Greece, with charming seashore immersed in eucalyptus and oak trees, blue sea water and huge Coligny beach, and is famous for its scenic spots and historical sites.

Further south, we came to Pilgos, a striking town with two treasures. It also has neoclassical architecture designed by Taylor. The ancient Olympia, which is calm, clear and green, has a solemn temple foundation, colonnades, altars, many interesting sculptures discovered by archaeological excavations, and the head of Cetylus by Prak.

Ketafas is the next tourist attraction, and it is also famous for its historical sites. It is located in the dense pine forest, where the soil is very fertile and it is an ideal vineyard, olive forest and citrus orchard. The road leading to Byzantine Monastery, Frankfurt, ancient temples such as Apollo Epicurus Temple in Weiss and famous palaces such as Nestor Palace in Pailos all started from here. These roads also lead to Calamata, the capital of Mycenae, and Jeffrey? Villehaduine Castle, cafes and bakeries are just beside the coastline, Teigotos Mountain stands proudly behind, and there are beautiful beaches between the foothills. Starting from Calamata, this road leads directly to Tripoli, the heart of the Peloponnesian Peninsula. This is the perfect beginning of Vitina and Stamnitsa's fascinating journey. Picturesque villages are attached to the Acadia Mountains, and Matthias and Lecosonia are important ancient relics.

After entering Lacconia, we came to its capital, Spathy. To the west is the Byzantine Mistra Castle, where there are incredible churches, monasteries, palaces and buildings. After crossing the Lacconia Plain, we came to Gissien. From here, we can reach the traditional houses in Iropuli, Deros Cave and Wasiya. Through undeveloped scenic spots, steep peaks, deep valleys connecting the clear blue ocean, clean golden beaches or cobblestone beaches, we arrived at the unique Munimwasia. Seen from the height of the castle, the moon rises slowly between the waves.

To the northeast of the Peloponnesian Peninsula is Argos, which was a military fortress in ancient times. Today, it has become the starting point of Nave Plihon, the first capital of Greece after independence. Potts Island and Paramity Rock Island guarded by forts. Starting from Argos, you can also reach the ruins of the two power centers of ancient Tirins and Mycenae, as well as the ancient Mycenae world. After passing through the pine forest is Epi Dollas. If it happens to be during the Epi Dollas Festival in summer, you can also enjoy the incredible sound effects of the ancient theater next to the Asclepius Temple. Besides Epi Dollas, there are many natural beauty in the eastern Peloponnesus, from which we can easily reach Polosse or Messana, which have famous tourist attractions.

A trip to the Greek countryside

The Greek countryside is the real treasure of nature. It is always looking forward to our arrival, and we just need to take a map, pack our bags and start this long-awaited trip. The inland scenery of Greece is picturesque. Mountains and canyons echo fast-flowing rivers, blue lakes, lagoons, deltas and coastal swamps. Valia Calda (warm valley) and Pindus mountains are safe havens for brown bears. There are more than 145 species of birds, ducks and storks in the Dadiya forest on the Efros River, as well as some famous Eurasian black hawks, Mavrogypas. Enjoy a quiet life in traditional villages, visit small villages with beautiful scenery all over Greece, and put aside some troubles along cobblestone paths. Or speed up the pace and ride a mountain bike to explore at will. Climb the amazing Mandora and reach the sky. The monastery is located at the top of the rock and has been designated as a "World Cultural Heritage" by UNESCO. Wherever we go, our senses will be on the verge of explosion. Greece's charming 19 "art" forest, each of which reveals unique animals and plants and has ecological value. Drink the cold water of natural water, or help brew wine and brandy on the farm, taste the spaghetti just out of the pot, and feel the smell of burning beech in the stone fireplace.

All this seems to be a unique scenery in novels, and it can also be found, experienced and realized in the Greek countryside. Only then did I know that the countryside is so beautiful, the beauty lies in freshness and simplicity.
