When is the best time to go to Greece? What are the attractions in Greece?

Greece is a city with a very long history and a very ancient city. Maybe everyone’s impression of Greece is a fairy tale, but the scenery in Greece is very beautiful and charming. So what are the places worth visiting in Greece?

Santorini

Santorini is the brightest pearl in the Aegean Sea. Most of the classic Greek pictures with blue characters on a white background that we usually see come from here!

Man, a town on the edge of a cliff

Fira is the capital and busiest town of Santorini, located in the middle of Santorini. It has the most beautiful sea view on the island and is also the best place to watch volcanoes. Most of the houses in the town are white, built on the cliffs of the volcano, connected in layers, dotted with blue-roofed churches, forming a unique urban landscape.

Perissa’s most famous black beach

Perissa is the most beautiful beach in Santorini, located on the southeast coast of the island. The sand on the beach is black volcanic rock, and the unique volcanic geology creates a unique black beach.

Wonderful Red Beach

The red sand here is a sedimentary weathered rock soaked in seawater by magma after a volcanic eruption. The earth's crust is constantly surging when it moves on the sea floor, and it protrudes after earthquakes. Then it continued to slide into the sea and was washed into purple pebbles by the sea water.

Athens

Athens is named after Athena, the goddess of wisdom. It is the capital of Greece and the largest city in Greece, with a history of more than 3,000 years. It is not only the birthplace of European philosophy, but also preserves many historical relics and precious works of art, and is known as the "Cradle of Western Civilization."

Navagio Beach or Shipwreck Beach

Shipwreck Bay is an isolated bay in the Zakynthos Islands. It is said to be the most symbolic beach in Greece and can often be seen on postcards.

In 1983, the smuggling ship Panagiotis was chased by the Coast Guard in bad weather while transporting cigarettes. Unfortunately, it sank to the bottom of the sea and finally drifted here, hence the name Shipwreck Bay.

The island is full of blooming bougainvillea and snow-white houses, the sky and the Aegean Sea are always blue, the famous Greek "Venice" and rotating windmills, and of course there are nudist beaches that make people completely return to nature.
