Ancient Ruins in Greece

Prokomenos · 10-15-2006, 12:55 AM

Besides the beautiful Parthenon and the Acropolis I suggest for those who have not seen it yet to go to Kavala and visit the ruins their. Where exactly in Kavala I cant recall but they are easy to find just ask someone.

The most interesting ancient sites of Greece are:

-The Acropolis of Athens
-The Archaeological site of Delphi
-The Archaeological site of Epidaurus
-The Temple of Epicurius Apollo at Bassae
-The Archaeological Site of Olympia
-The Archaeological Site of Delos
-The Archaeological Site of Vergina
-The Archaeological Sites of Mycenae and Tiryns
-Pythagoreion and Heraion of Samos

Besides them they are hundeds of other places with ancient remnants which are worh a visit. I haven't visited the archaeological sites of Kavala.

Dont feel so bad I have not visited half of what you listed either. Next summer when I head down their Im making it a must to visit and finally snap some pictures. Its been awhile since Ive been in Greece kids, work too expensive so Ive been saving for a trip.

Im waiting until they discover Alexander the Greats tomb even if he is not buried in Greece I would definately visit it. If they find it in the Middle East somewhere Ill visit real fast even if it means I have a chance of getting my head cut off by the local savages.

You can add the ancient site at Knossos, Crete and Ancient Corinth.

A really interesting archaeological site that is not so famous is the Palace of Nestor here in Messinia. You can't find much info on it in the net but the place is worth a visit.

I think the temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion (70 km south of Athens) is pretty cool.
