In Greece, the list of historical landmarks is long, but it is worth giving a few days for making some of them a visit. Most of the Greek mythology is still being kept here in Greece, and they have made a very good job to keep their history well preserved. Visit the famous cliff Acropolis in Athens which reaches the breath-taking height of 156 metres and the temple Parthenon which looks over the city. The Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion is another well preserved ruin and is located right by the sea. Come here in the afternoon and enjoy the sunset which together with the temple offers an amazing view. As you probably may know the Olympic Games was first arranged here in Greece around 776 BCE to 393 CE in the city of Olympus. 1896 the Olympic Games was again brought to life and was by that time arranged in Panathinaikos stadium which you will find in Athens. Greece is the perfect place for the ones who just cannot get enough with historical sites!
