In Greece, it's harder to avoid ruins than to find them. They survive in a broad spectrum of importance, quality of preservation, and overall impressiveness, with must-visit sites, 18 of which are inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The perfectly proportioned columns of the Parthenon, combined with the sun's beating rays and the brilliant gleam of marble, conjure up the same awe they inspired in centuries of worshippers. At Cape Sounion, the seaside temple of Poseidon sits on a 60-meter promontory overlooking the Aegean. If you catch the floating island of Delos, the birthplace of Apollo and Artemis, you will find an island-wide archaeological site. A voyage through the Peloponnese will take you back to the era of nymphs, satyrs, and gods in disguise. Sprint across the well-preserved stadium on the way to the original Olympic fields at Ancient Olympia, wander through watery, fresco-covered tunnels at Corinth, peer into Agamemnon’s tomb at Mycenae, or cry over an ancient tragedy in the ancient Theater of Epidaurus. Byzantine times stand still in the sight of Mystras, the former center of Constantinople’s rule in the Peloponnese. After traversing mountain roads, visitors can seek wisdom at the ancient Oracle of Delphi.
The Greek islands have long been a sun worshippers paradise. Besides the heavenly sands and turquoise waters, the islands offer ancient sites, intriguing museums, and peaceful small-town life. In the Aegean, Santorini’s black sand beaches soak up the sun's hot rays and stay warm long after the stunning sunsets. Enjoy the vibrant, fun-filled atmosphere of Paradise Beach on Mykonos or seek solace on a secluded strip of sand.
We had a blast doing this holiday party for a group of employees in marin. It was also a pleasure trying out @chairmantruck those buns were amazing!
Just like modern dinner parties have unwritten social norms and expectations, Ancient Greeks had a unique social dining culture of their own. Largely based on the idea of food sharing, people were expected to bring a dish when they gathered with their loved ones for a meal. Conversations centered around food and recipes, people sampled new dishes, and meals were valued as a time for connection, socializing, and sharing.
