Although most tourists associate Ancient Greece with Athens and its numerous sights, such as the Parthenon, the Herodion of Atticus theatre, or the Temple of Olympian Zeus, there are hundreds of additional places around the country that are home to some of the most important archaeological findings in Greece.
In fact, in almost every Greek city or on every Greek island, you will find ancient monuments, sculptures or remains of ancient buildings, that are evidence of the grand historical past of the country.
Many of these monuments are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, not just because of their majestic architecture or because of how old they are, but also because of their contribution to modern civilization, society, art and sciences.
