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. Knossos is the most important centre of the Minoan Civilization, the home of King Minos, but also the magical place where the myths and legends of the Labyrinth, Theseus and the Minotaur originated. Although the Minoan Civilization was destroyed in BC by a series of large tsunamis in the Aegean Sea — caused by the eruption of the Santorini volcano, which split the island in two — many of the masterpieces of Minoan art can still be admired to this day by visitors, at the Archaeological Museum of Heraklion in Crete. The city of Mycenae is home to one of the oldest civilizations in the world, and presumably the oldest in Europe. According to archeologists, the first human activity in the area dates back to the 7 th millennium BC, during the Neolithic Era. Mycenae has also gone down in history as the kingdom of Agamemnon and the House of Atreides, while its participation in the war against Troy played a crucial role in the development of Greek history. The archeological site of Messene is one of the largest and most remarkable sites in Greece, and home to many athletic events, famous theatre plays and ceremonies of the ancient world. Philippi was an ancient city in Kavala, Eastern Macedonia, that had strong military power and flourished during the Hellenistic years.New customer?
