Discover Greece
Greece was the birthplace of European
civilization and the period from 700BC saw
the rise of the great city states of Athens,
Corinth and Sparta. Get a ferry to Greece
and see its many beautiful islands. The
mainland also has many attractions - not
least Athens with the Parthenon and the
Theatre of Dionysus, where works of
Euripides were first performed. The ancient
Odeon of Herod Atticus is the showplace each
summer of the Athens Festival.
Further north you will find Greece's second
largest city Thessaloniki with the White
Tower, the green-domed Aghia Sophia church
(8th century) and an exceptional new
Byzantine museum. The Archaeological Museum
displays riches of Macedonian kings drawn
from excavations at nearby Pella, Vergina
and the sacred city of Dion.
Travelling in Greece
It is both cheap and easy to travel around
the islands. There are ferry services on
many routes, with sailings more frequent
during the summer.
The two main railway stations in Athens are
Larissa (with trains to northern Greece,
Evia and Europe) and Peloponnissos (with
trains to the Peloponnesus). Train
information and tickets are available from
the Hellenic Railways Organisation (OSE).
By car, Greece has a good road network. The
maximum speed limit is 120kph (75mph) on
motorways, 110kph (60mph) outside built-up
areas and 50kph (30mph) in built-up areas.
It is illegal to carry spare petrol in the
vehicle. Transportation in Greece improved
significantly after 2004 when Athens hosted
the Olympics.

Things to see
Explore the huge, sprawling city
that is Athens. Begin with the
Acropolis rock, home to the
fifth-century BC Parthenon, then
stroll down to the Ancient Agora,
once Athens' civic, political and
commercial centre. Explore the
extensive ruins of Knossos, a
3,000-year-old frescoed Minoan
Palace, home to Europe's earliest
civilization. |
