  • You Should Visit Patmos Island: Here’s Why

    October 30, 2019

    As I’ve shared in other posts recently, my family and I explored a lot of Greece’s mainland during our trip to that fascinating country. Our jam-packed itinerary included stops in the Macedonia, Peloponnese and Thessaly regions. And, much to our delight, we were also able to sail to the island of Patmos, one of Greece’s Dodecanese islands, during our trip. It was dark when we arrived, so we couldn’t tell until the following morning just how charming the area that we were staying in was. But, over the next couple of days, we began to understand why Forbes magazine in 2009 named Patmos as the most idyllic place to live…

  • Meteora’s Varlaam Monastery Is A Must-See During A Visit to Greece’s Thessaly Region

    October 15, 2019

    Tired and excited. These two words are probably the best adjectives to describe how I felt after climbing up one part of the rock formation that is known as Meteora during our beloved trip to Greece. A UNESCO World Heritage Site in Greece’s Thessaly region, Meteora is situated near the city of Kalambaka (also known as Kalampaka or Kalabaka) and is one of the most popular tourist destinations on the country’s mainland. So what exactly is Meteora? It’s kind of hard to describe, but it’s basically a region filled with tall sandstone pillars, six of which are home to Eastern Orthodox monasteries. And, we visited the second largest monastery of…

  • Here Are Three Reasons To Visit Olympia

    October 9, 2019

    I’ve always enjoyed watching the Olympics, particularly the summer games. So, I was excited when our family visited the town of Olympia in the Peloponnese Region of Greece. Why? Because modern day Olympia is near the Archaeological Site of Olympia, a UNESCO World Heritage site and the place where athletes once competed in the ancient Olympic Games! Anyone who is fascinated by history, especially Greek history, will be captivated by this place because it gives them the chance to see in person what is left of the buildings that were prominent in this place centuries ago. Included are the remains of the Temple of Hera, Philippeion, Nymphaeum, Temple of Zeus,…

  • The Top Six Sites to Visit in Central Greece

    October 6, 2019

    As our family witnessed during our trip to Greece, the country is filled with lots of interesting archaeological sites and museums. While many cultural sites are located in the Macedonia region, the largest of the nine geographical regions, quite a few can also be found in Central Greece, the most populous region. When we were in Central Greece, we explored several places in Athens, the country’s capital. However, the one I was the most excited about seeing was the Acropolis, one of Central Greece’s UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The Acropolis is home to the remains of a collection of ancient buildings, including the Parthenon, Erechtheion, Temple of Athena and Propylaea…

  • Six Must-See Cultural Sites in Greece’s Macedonia Region

    October 5, 2019

    Do you ever find yourself wondering about the culture and history of Greece? If so, consider planning a trip to this intriguing Mediterranean country, which is known as the birthplace of Western drama, Western literature and much more. When our family went to Greece, we visited five of the nine geographical regions. And, among the ones we visited was the Macedonia region in the Northern part of Greece. The Macedonia region is the country’s largest geographical region and it’s where you’ll find much of Greece’s agricultural production. It’s also where you’ll find several UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) World Heritage Sites. (FYI, this designation is given to…
