Cultural Holidays in Greece
Much of what we know today as Western culture and civilization has its roots in the Greece of antiquity, so it should come as no surprise that this beautiful, ancient country has a rich cultural offering on a par with anywhere else on the planet. Contemporary Greece has its own rich art, music and literary scenes - evidenced in the major cities such as Athens and Thessaloniki, where galleries, theatres, music venues and more abound.
But what draws most tourists is the legacy of Classical Greece, which is abundant. From awe-inspiring ancient sites such as Delphi and the Parthenon to smaller temple clusters, ruined palaces and the chance to experience the birthplace of philosophies, democracy, drama, the Olympics and more, Greece has an almost unparalleled cultural wealth that is still very much in evidence.
Whether you choose to take a trip by yourself or enjoy the services of an expert (often local) guide, many of the sites of Ancient Greece can still be experienced firsthand in the 21st century, with the added benefit of wonderful weather and scenery, delicious cuisine and a welcoming population.
