Welcome to Greece

The country of temples, myths, democracy and the Olympic Games, with islands scattered over two seas.

Greece gave Europe its first theatres, its philosophy, its word for democracy and its Olympic Games. Its museums hold the Parthenon sculptures, the gold of Mycenae, the frescoes of Minoan Crete and the bronze Charioteer of Delphi. Plan your museum days on museumtickets.com, then eat a village salad with olive oil, honey and feta, and watch the sun go down over the sea.

Historia oculta

Fire from the sun

The Olympic flame is still lit with a mirror at Olympia.

Leer la historiaCerrar

Before every Olympic Games, women dressed as priestesses gather at the Temple of Hera in Olympia. The flame is lit by the sun's rays focused in a curved mirror, as the ancient Greeks lit sacred fires. Then the flame is carried by runners to the host city. The ceremony began in 1936 and links today's Games to Olympia.

Consejos para amantes del arte

Heat

In summer go to open-air sites early in the morning; museums are cool at midday.

Ferries

Book island ferries in summer, and check the weather: strong winds can stop them.

Combine

At many sites, the site and its museum share one entrance.

Respect

In churches and monasteries, cover shoulders and knees.
