Greece resides in the south-eastern part of Europe. It envelops the southernmost part of the Balkan Peninsula extending to Turkey and Bulgaria. The Sea of Crete and Ionian Sea cover the Greek nation-state in the south and south-west respectively. The coastline of this country witnessed the rise and fall of the great Roman Empire. Previously, Greece was an agricultural economy, however, now tourism industry has developed to become the chief commercial activity in the Country. The tour of Crete, Euboea, Lesbos, Chios and the groups of Dodecanese and Cycladic islands in the Aegean Sea make the beauty of Greece comprehensive. This is the womb of all mythical narrative - tales of Zeus, Poseidon, Hera, Herms, Apollo, Aphrodite, Athena and Hermes, Delphi and Meteora.
Santorini is an amazing island with one of the most spectacular landscapes. The conventionally blue and white painted hearths form a necklace around the Greek coastline. The doors and windows are painted blue to keep away the evil spirits. Santorini is one of the members of Cyclades group of islands. This part forms the South Aegean Volcanic Arc, even though the craters are filled with water now. The Minoan civilizations saw its nightfall due to the volcanic eruption of Stroggilí. Now the black sandy beaches, museums, the local gourmets and beverages attract thousands of tourists throughout the year. Major cities in Santorini include Fira (Phira), Oia, Emporio, Kamari, Imerovigli, Pyrgos and Therasia.
Delphi stands in the soils of Greece with its own histories and mysteries. This place is believed to belong to the oracle of the god Apollo. The "temple of Apollo", "the sacred Corycian cave and "the Castalian Spring" nestle within the boundary of Delphi. The temple of Hera and the Stadium are the narratives of the archaic age. The Euboea Mountain and the Samaria Gorge are two other places of sight seeing in Greece. The Acropolis Museum possesses archeological evidences of the past. The Odeon of Agrippa and the Royal Stoa are the two places that fit into the category of "must visits". Soak your soul in the salt and blue of the sea.
